The installer writes entries in the register.
Please don't use the Windows registry. Environment variables are much nicer. I often need to keep several versions (well, at least two) of each tool installed; one for a working production system, another for the latest upgrade being tested. Possibly another for the previous working production system. This is very difficult if the Windows registry is used; it is painful to change the registry entries between the two versions. Especially when I don't know what keys need to be changed (I have not checked the latest ghdl documentation; perhaps it does say what keys are used). In addition, if environment variables are used, then the system works the same between Linux and Windows. I understand that unsophisticated Windows users like the registry, because "it just works", and setting environment variables in plain Windows is itself somewhat painful. But some of use use Cygwin and Emacs, where environment variables are easy. Perhaps there could be a way to opt out of using the registry, and use environment variables instead. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
