I'm trying to install a program that ran fine on '98, it
asks for a directory in XP Pro and I can't get it to go.
It defaults to C:\Windows as in '98 but it doesn't exist
on XP........what do I put as a directory? Thanks
 
Hi Brian,

Sure C:\Windows exists in WinXP, provided that's where Windows was
installed. C:\Windows is just the default system installation directory.
Yours may be different, say C:\Winnt (another commonly used name). When
installing software, you should use the custom options and pick the
installation directory, you should never install to the system directory
when ever possible.
