This was indeed to help students using Windows.
I was not aware of the option in the menu! That works great -- I confirmed
with the students. We'll tell them to use that.

Just to speak for Ryan here, he's using 5.3.6 currently for his
students, and thus

I think we're struggling at the moment with what the predicate we want to
check is, tho. (That is, I feel like we can deal with errors or alerts or
whatever, once we decide what should trigger them.)

Independently of how difficult it is to do this, another possibility is to
ask for permission as the program is run.
But then you may have the problem that some users (read: students) may
actually not know that they don't know what they are doing.
There could also be a checkbox somewhere to allow f

Jay and I have talked offline and apparently this is something that came up

Yes, that's correct, and that's how I reproduced it on my machine as well.

This doesn't sound great. Can you explain more what you mean here about
programs not being able to run in DrRacket, please?

Hi Ryan,
I presume that you ran that program in DrRacket.
DrRacket can't run all Racket programs, such as those that modify the
installation, due to the way it changes how compilation and evaluation
works. The GUI package manager in DrRacket will work, however, because
