			<description><![CDATA[<p>I note that the default install path for SF is<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>&quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Simply Fortran&quot;</strong>.</p><p>I don&#039;t use this.&nbsp; Instead, I put Simply Fortran here:<br />&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>&quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Fortran\SF&quot;</strong>.</p><p>I also map a virtual drive, called F:\, to this path, but that is not relevant to this posting.</p><p>I&#039;ve noticed that, when installing a new version of SF, the installer always offers only the default path.<br />This is very inconvenient.&nbsp; Would it be possible for the installer to read the current path from the ENVIRONMENT variable, &#039;PATH&#039;, and to offer that as the install suggestion, only using the default path when it doesn&#039;t find a pre-installed path?</p><p>I note also that, when occasionally re-installing an existing version, the installer doesn&#039;t prompt for a path, and offers only a REPAIR option.&nbsp; When one uses this, the installer appears not to find the path in which SF is actually installed, but instead to assume it will be in the default path.&nbsp; In not finding it there, the installer seems to &quot;repair&quot; SF by placing all the files needed in the default file location.&nbsp; I am not 100% certain that this is what happens but I think it is.&nbsp; If so, I am thinking that this might also be something to look into in due course.<br />--- <br />John</p>]]></description>
