Re: [udig-devel] Can't load uDig 1.0.5 - WinXP Home

[rgould@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Ok, so it looks like that is the problem. Guess I need to figure out how to
reference the current user's home directory under Windows. Anyone have any
suggestions? 

Actually, it looks like the installer software can sort this out on it's own.. I
just need to change the context from "current user" to "all users." I will try
and test this out soon.
