Hello, I just installed GS 8.11 on Windows 2000 and noticed the following minor flaws in the installation: 0. The installation path is STILL preset to C:\gs. Since Windows 95 the path should but be <program files>\<vendor>\<product>\ (where <program files> is to be read from the registry!). 1. The registry entries beneath [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AFPL Ghostscript\8.11] have an EMPTY subdirectory in their path in front of gs8.11 and fonts (excerpt from the uninstal.txt): "GS_DLL"="C:\\Programme\\AFPL\\\\gs8.11\\bin\\gsdll32.dll" "GS_LIB"="C:\\Programme\\AFPL\\\\gs8.11\\lib;C:\\Programme\\AFPL\\\\fonts;C:\\Programme\\AFPL\\\\gs8.11\\Resource" 2. The shell links in the start menu too have this empty subdirectory in their pathes (excerpt from the uninstal.txt): Name=D:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Startmenü\Programme\AFPL GhostScript\Ghostscript 8.11.LNK Path=C:\Programme\AFPL\\gs8.11\bin\gswin32.exe Description=Ghostscript 8.11 Arguments="-IC:\Programme\AFPL\\gs8.11\lib;C:\Programme\AFPL\\fonts;C:\Programme\AFPL\\gs8.11\Resource" Name=D:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Startmenü\Programme\AFPL GhostScript\Ghostscript Readme 8.11.LNK Path=C:\Programme\AFPL\\gs8.11\doc\Readme.htm Description=Ghostscript Readme 8.11 regards Stefan Kanthak
