There may be other factors too. Were you doing clean installs? 
(You don't get asked when installing over a working existing 
installation in my experience.) Were you using the classic 
installer or the msi installer? (The msi installer is the one 
you get if you don't make an effort to get the classic 
installer.) I use the classic installer and 10.5 definitely 
still puts those files under the program directory if I tell it 
to use the same profile for all users. The version of Windows 
may matter as well. Newer versions of Windows really don't like 
data files within the program files directory, but I'm not sure 
it is even possible to choose to use a single profile under 
Vista and Win7 anyway. I can't say I've really tried to do that. 
Apart from my own computers, which run XP, most of the installs 
I do make sense to do without trying to use a single profile.

Regardless of which variables affect the installation, both 
descriptions of file locations can be correct and are normal 
ways of installing Opera.

Obviously. :-)  I was answering other messages about Eudora.
