Closing as a duplicate of issue #22. |
Sorry, I referenced the wrong issue when I closed this. It has still been filed before though. Please see issue #22. |
The workaround mentioned in #22 worked!! For wider audience I'm detailing the steps
I could use to copy settings.txt to c:\ . |

The next version will have a new installer, but that may still be a ways off. Installers are, without any doubt whatsoever, the most time consuming element of this entire project. For anyone coming across this, I'm looking for contributors who will build and maintain installers across different operating systems. |
@coreybutler It may be as easy as changing the installer filename. IIRC, Windows uses the |
