Second, check your registry - the old installer modified two registry keys: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/AppPaths/runemacs/* HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/AppPaths/xemacs/* These two keys may still be pointing to the old install directory. --Chuck Wilson -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
