[REBOL] Installation puzzle
From: Steven::White::ci::bloomington::mn::us at: 22-Dec-2003 14:42
Some time ago I installed REBOL/View on my office Windows 98 computer.
It got installed in C:\"Program Files"\REBOL\VIEW, probably because I
took some default file path somewhere in the installation process--I
can't remember any more. In any case, it works fine.
Now I am trying to set up a procedure to make it as easy as possible
for someone else to install REBOL/View on his computer, and I am testing
this operation on my own computer. I create a directory called C:\REBOL
and unpack REBOL/View into it, and then run it to create the PREFS.R and
USER.R files.
When I do that, the files USER.R and PREFS.R get created in...
C:\Program Files\REBOL\VIEW.
Where is REBOL looking to decide to put those files in the REBOL\VIEW
directory in Program Files? How does it even know of the existence of
such a place if I have unpacked it into C:\REBOL? Is the directory in
Program Files hard-coded into the Windows version of REBOL? Have I
missed some configuration file or environment variable somewhere?
Thank you for any ideas, and Merry Christmas by the way.
