[Gretl-users] Windows installation directories

[Allin Cottrell]

Responding to comments made by Sven a while ago, I'm thinking of 
changing the default installation directories for gretl 1.6.0 on 
Windows.  The current default of "c:\userdata\gretl" makes sense 
at Wake Forest University but probably seems odd to most people.

For the program itself, "c:\Program Files" (or equivalent) seems 
the obvious choice.  But what about the "user" directory?  Where 
should that go?  Perhaps, in the same tree that Word and Excel 
use for saving user files by default, but what is that?  (Sorry, 
I boot Windows very seldom and I don't know these things.)

[In case anyone suggests using the "HOME" environment variable, 
let me pre-emptively state that that is not a Windows-ish thing, 
and it's not possible to access it using the Inno Setup 
installer with any degree of ease.]
