Hi Kern,
Personal preference, i would prefer c:\bacula for the reasons you
indicated, the long path names and spaces, but i also have noticed that
prohibit programs from not working outside program files. What i would
suggest is a compromise, make the installation location customizable to
either location with a pair of radio buttons, the end user selects which
installation location is prefered based on personal preference and
environmental consideration.
Hth
Dave.
