Just tested. Works fine. In Win 7 everything installs under Documents, which works fine and is nice because everything is in one place. As unprivileged user there was no uninstall in Control Panel, but the uninstall.exe worked well enough ... strange dialog box at the end about program not installing successfully, just close it. Right-click installer and run as administrator produces exactly the same result and the Control Panel uninstall is there. Recommend this be explained on the download web page.
Thanks for testing, Gary. I am looking for alternatives available at user level and some of them are probably available. I have also noticed that many other open source projects demand admin level to use their installer; few examples: jdk, 7z, gvim, FreeMind, NetBeans, NSIS Unicode, OOo, etc. In all consideration, it might not be a problem to demand admin level.
If it isn't too hard I suggest putting in a donation pitch at the end with info on where satisfied users can send some money. But first someone needs to take care of that on the web site; I looked and could not find any info on making a donation.
It's never too hard but we are all very busy. ;)
The idea is however fantastic and I love it. Can anyone provide information, graphics/buttons, web page, etc? I believe to have read that SOB will set-up something once everything is approved with SFC. It'd be great to coordinate this with the upcoming official release.
