That's a good point. The software is not large so I haven't been
converned about it being installed multiple times in separate folders,
and this was the easiest way to do it. It's probably only 2% of users
will ever have more than one installation, so it's not worth spending
alot of time over it.
Thinaking about it now, it sounds like too much work. I presume the app
would have to support a data directory in the command-line so it can be
loaded multiple times accessing different data. The registration /
hardware locking system would have to be completely restructured. I
think I'll stick with a Data folder under Program Files.
I don't think there is anything stopping an administrator giving the
User group modify rights to any folder on the hard drive, is there?
Cheers,
Ross.
