First, it looks in the registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\sword.exe. This is put there by BibleCS when it runs. If it finds it, then that is one of its paths. Also, it adds {app}\resources as a path, where {app} is the install path specified by the user; by default then then this'll usually be C:\Program Files\BPBible\resources. End result: the default resource paths for BPBible give no writeable paths to Vista. Uh oh. Especially because of this, I think that $ALLUSERSPROFILE\Sword and/or $PUBLIC\Sword sounds a good idea. Another opinion from me: Why would $APPDATA be preferred over $ALLUSERPROFILE? Normally I would expect all users to want to have about the same set of modules; however, when I think about it, I'm also not sure whether users would want other users to be able to delete their modules... not that any of this really matters much to me - all I really do for BPBible is the installer (switching to a decent NSIS based one soon) and BPBible Portable :-) Also, in my experience, $SWORD_PATH is not normally set, whereas HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\sword.exe is. Draw out from that what you will ;-) God bless, Chris Morgan <chris.morgani...@gmail.com> I don't need a quote in my signature.
