The versioned install path ($INSTALLDIR/vim74/[g]vim.exe) is a major annoyance on Windows. People are likely to assign file types to be opened with vim. However, all those assignments break once a new Vim version is installed (because the path changes, e.g. from vim73 to vim74). While this is not too hard to fix (searching for the old path using regedit), any other program that is configured to call Vim for something has the same problem!
The easiest solution would be installing a "proxy"-like file in $INSTALLDIR which simply calls the exe with the same name in $INSTALLDIR/vimXY/ and forwards all arguments. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
