Shudder indeed :-) Yes, that is an option. Nick Knight did create an
InstallShield .iss file, but I don't have an InstallShield license so I
have no means to use it. I've been thinking about creating an NSIS
installer, but haven't got a round tuit yet.
Manipulating paths in config files won't help, since we have to find the
config files first, that's the problem. :-)
Cheers, Chris.
