I just wanted to try to compact it for my slow connection. Next time it will be with *.exe
<bander> Installer shows Apache-L only? <bertf> should probably show http://etoys.squeak.org/svn/trunk/Etoys/NOTICE instead?
+1. The Etoys4 installer shows the same text (I think someone said it is the correct behavior) and I haven't touched it. I will change.
<bander> No, lower-case t, i.e., EtoysInstaller.exe <bertf> ah, good :)
:-)
<bander> I don't see an Etoys.ini anywhere
I think I haven't change INI writing code from Etoys4 installer... It would be helpful if someone could test Etoys4 installer on the same test box.
<bertf> redirect the browser plugin to the new location of course <bertf> but otherwise keep the old working <bander> It did not install into etoys41; it installed into C:\Program Files (x86)\Etoys (where I already had an install) <bander> Then for the records: This is Win7
Anderas, did you test it on Win7 x64 instead of x86?
I believe win32 installer hasn't been officially tested on x64 platform yet. though I tested it on Win7 x86. ( I don't have x64 capable box) Because of resource constraint I just removed win7 VM recently :-< I need time to rebuild it.
To narrow down the problem it would be helpful if someone could confirm the problem on win7 x86.
<bertf> yes we haven't really discussed what the behavior should be wrt the old versions <bertf> but I think not touching the old is better <bertf> on the mac it's going to be an "Etoys 4.1" folder
OK, I will fix it in next snapshot.

I'm not sure what differentiation you're making. My Windows is a 64bit Windows, yes, but pretty much all applications are 32 bit. I've not found this to make any difference whatsoever in our product installers so I'm not sure what difference you're looking for. The installation path (i.e., whether it goes into etoys41 or etoys) certainly is no different.
