or better still eliminate the Install program altogether. As far as I know this program just adds some absolute file pathnames to some properties. Far better to leave these relative to some virtual path specified by command line parameter such as INSTALLDIR, that way a jigsaw configuration could be moved or copied (e.g between a windows dev machine and a unix live machine). Jigsaw does not currently support document systems on CDROM. This could be made to work by using the virtual path idea and having a routine which translates a virtual path to one of 2 physical paths in a way sensitive to the read-only nature of the CDROM. If file exists on the writable shadow directory then use it, else use the file on the read-only directory. This would minimise the use of client hard disk by only storing changed files.
