Hmmm, might just be a problem with the tester and his machine. All reports I find are from before I fixed the installer, and things don't look right on this guy's machine to me. I have tested on multiple OS partitions, and can't see any problem. I'll come back if I can identify an ACTUAL problem.
Thanks,
Howard

I set permissions to Read&Write for everything, but when the folder is created on the user's hard drive, those permissions are NOT set, and our plug-ins can't write to our folder.
