Re: [Enigma-devel] Error Home directory does not exist.

[Andreas Lochmann]

Hi Andrew,

thank you for your bug report, let's see what we can do ...
- I assume you are using an English version of Windows?
- Which of the installation programmes did you use? Here:
    http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/download.html
  you'll find in particular a "Full Installer" and a "Minimum
  Zip". I assume you used one of the installers. Perhaps you
  didn't have the rights to install the software completely
  (Win XP Prof?), without getting an error message -
  then try the "Minimum Zip" instead, or vice versa.

However, when there's a problem with the $HOME-variable,
Ronald might know how to handle this?

Best greets,
Andreas
