Hi, > It's much simpler to have an autoupdating program that's installed > to user profile directory than to Program Files (writes to Program > Files are restricted). It's not just CEF in user profile, but entire > The Bat installation. It's also really bad practice. The user profile is meant to hold data, not executables for a reason. Installing an application in this location leads to all kinds of problems (just think server-based profiles etc.) And that's to say nothing about the security implications. This is the reason why the auto-update version has always been unusable in anything but a don't-know-don't-care-homeuser-setup. Without a doubt it is also the reason why TheBat has been gone through the mess of offering two separate versions to install. Obviously the devs are fully aware of what a bad idea this NAU process is, but haven't yet gotten around to fixing it. -- MfG, Alto mailto: ________________________________________________________ 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
