But zip picker tells differently:

Note: Do not install DJGPP in a directory that requires long file name
support (i.e. no spaces, 8.3 characters)

So I think you should update it. Actually, my DJGPP directory is
C:\Programming\DJGPP\

I think it is OK. 'install.exe' would be one of the first downloaded files
and placed in directory kind of \InstDJ and not in \DJGPP\bin. So I don't
think that any collision will occurr.
