[4.1] Windows installer problem - default path on XP is incorrect, incorrect copy/paste shortcuts

Hello

I downloaded the MSWindows installer from
http://ftp.squeak.org/4.1/win/Squeak-4.1-9948-100415-installer.exe

I install it on an XP machine.

The default path the installer proposes is the Vista one

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Documents\Squeak 4.1

CORRECT would be
C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Squeak4.1

And as noted in the thread
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-April/148926.html

The preference setting in the image for the shortcuts for copy/paste
should be ctrl-c and ctrl-p, not alt-c and alt-p

Otherwise the first three minutes impression for a new user will be mixed.

I hope this can be fixed before putting the announcement on the web site.
It is easier to fix it now than later on using time to answer newbie questions.

OK, fine, thank you.

For getting the regular behavior for copy/paste (ctrl-c/ctrl-v) on
MSWindows - which preference do I need to change in my image? The one
I tried quickly did not work. Or maybe you can do that in the
ini-file?

Hannes, any more success with this new installer?

Installation location
----------------------------

The proposed installation location under Windows XP is
    C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Squeak 4.1
which is fine.

Thank you for quickly acting.



Cut and paste shortcut key
----------------------------------------

What still rests is the ctrl-c /ctrl-v behavior for cut and paste.

I went to preferences and searched for 'swap'

Then I enabeled
swapControlAndAltKeys

Even after restarting the image it had no effect.

The discussion of this is going on in the thread

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2010-April/148940.html

It could be a bug in the code.
