Just downloaded and installed newlisp 7.5.0 (WIN 32)
The install process does not, but in my opinion should,
create the C:\temp directory if it doesn't already exist.
Alternatively, the installer could provide a dialog to choose
the temp directory location right after asking for the
main installation location.
I discovered the existence of the development release
after installing 7.5.0. I then tried to uninstall 7.5.0. There is
no uninstall option provided in the usual "add/remove programs"
method. I think this would be worthwhile to do.
Installation process impressions
Welcome to the group Greg,
in the latest development versions, the c:\temp or on UNIX /tmp directories are not necessary any more. If you are just starting with newLISP you might as well go with the latest development release 7.5.8, which is one of the last releases before 8.0 later this spring or summer and also offers arrays.
I have to check if the NSIS installer I am using offers an uninstall option, if so it will be in 8.0. Until then to uninstall just delete c:\newlisp and you are done. On Linux et al. the location of files is doumented in one of the readme or make files in the distribution.
