Hi Jesse, I deleted the udig folder from the Documents and setting/username/AppData/ folder and I can now start uDig from the start menu. It seems that this is your problem.
Many thanks for the handy fix :) Wesley >>> Jesse Eichar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 19/09/2007 15:34 >>> Hi, I am fixing a bug with the installer that causes the issue. A quick fix is to look in your Documents and setting/username/AppData/ folder (I think that the one) and delete the uDig folder (or just rename it). If that doesn't work let me know because I think that is the problem and I want to know if it is not. However a second thing to try is to change the shortcut in the startmenu to remove the -configuration "% APPDATA%/uDig" parameter.
