Newfangled Mill Wizard / Re: Install issue
« on: March 14, 2013, 08:34:55 AM »
I downloaded the NewFangled Mill Wizard this evening and observed some issues with the install onto a Win 7 (64) machine.
I needed to run the installer as administrator; which I suspect caused the default setup files (in the directory tree Wizards) to be written to Users\Admin\ rather than to Users\john.
The result of this was a failure to start nicely unless I ran the Wizards as administrator. Copying the Wizards file tree across to my working directory seems to have fixed the problem, but I'd have to rate this installation as only marginally successful.
I also think it's a little dictatorial to place the Wizards tree automagically at the root of the user account with no install-time option of change. Acceptable for beta s/w perhaps, but I'd like to see it fixed once out of beta.
