Haven't picked it up again to try - and don't know if I will.  I basically 
avoid programs that want to choose their own directory structure.  My hard 
disk is well organized - if I allowed every program I run to set things up 
as it pleased - it would be a real mess.

I MAY try a few tricks and get it to install on my ramdrive - and just test 
it.

It is NOT for "newbies" as best I can tell .... It will take some 
investigation to install it and get it working.

Basically you will have to install it somewhere and TRY to run it - you will 
get an error message about not being able to find some file - that error 
message will include the full hardcoded path.  The next step will be to move 
all the files to that path and try again - this is where I haven't gotten to 
yet.  There may likely be more such surprises!
 
Good luck.
