Dear Edward
Yes, yours is probably a simpler way to set it. I did what I always do
and went into Windows "settings/control
panel/system/advanced/Environment Variables" and created a new entry.
I have no idea why autoexec.bat does not work. I have tried every
variable I can think of, including moving the installation to C:\XW,
rebooting etc, but nothing affects it.
Best wishes
Paul

Paul,
That's excellent advice. When I get back home at the end of the week,
I'll modify my installer to add that environmental variable.
I think you can use a simpler version of the variable. It should be (I
think):
Path16=C:\XW;
You can set this permanently by entering this command at a Windows
command prompt (user-level is OK; you don't need to use administrative
prompt):
SETX Path16 C:\XW;
Note that there is no equals sign, just the SETX command, then the
variable, and then the value. And N.B., the command is SETX, not SET.
I'm still puzzled that the Autoexec.bat method didn't work. It certainly
works here with the speller and thesaurus, but I haven't tried anything
else.
