Yay! Did a restore of my last personal backup. I got my well populated menu bar back. Wasn't expecting that

Matt:
Coming next build:
Changed: The installer no longer allows installation into the root of the program files folder.

pepar:
For someone trying to follow this, the user's MC30 install failed because it's *and* MC26's files were mingled together in the root folder?

No. They were NOT intermingled. Installs were in two different folders. Possible implications of same folder installs is not a part of this story. I was trying to do a custom location install of MC26 and made a mistake which lead to program files installing in the root of C:\Program Files. And MC26 ran fine there. But the subsequently installed MC30, installed to another folder would not run.

The short of the story is that having an install into the root of C:\Program can create problems in certain configurations. But Matt has told us future builds will no longer allow an install into that root. You can't make the mistake I made or replicate the problem configuration.

As regards possible intermingling, the safest route is to let MC install to default location. It will create a different folder for each install.

JimH:
SFD,
You're correct that it happened because of the install to the root directory, but as far as I know, we've never seen another problem with installation to a custom location.

Thanks again for your patience.
