So what he has is a "normal installation" if the user chooses to install in 'C:\'. Also, FWIW, 'setup.exe' does not create a "symlink" from '/usr/bin' to '/bin'. It only creates the mounts like what Andy shows above. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
