Re: [pure-lang-users] ANN: Pure 0.6 released

[John L. <joh...@gm...>]

Hi Albert,
Just a very small problem!
I downloaded and tested the Windows installer package here in work.
On the machine where I've given myself Administrator privileges, it
installs fine.
On the machine where I'm a normal user, it doesn't have permission to
edit the global environmental variables, so there's an error. When you
open PurePad then, obviously it can only look in the current directory
for the prelude etc. I presume there are user-level environmental
variables in Windows? (It's far from my primary platform)

I guess there are a few ways round this:
1. Require Administrator access to install
2. Automatically choose whether to edit the global or user variables
depending on who is running the installer
3. Allow a "For all users" or "For this user" install, and act appropriately.

Hope this helps,
John
