Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: pd-extended Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: João Pais (jmmmp) Assigned to: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Summary: installation - overwrite files (windows)
Initial Comment: Since pd-ext is a program that gets renewed quite often, it makes some sense that a new installation overwrites the previous one.
While installing pd-ext in windows, the program asks at all times if one file should be overwritten - making it necessary to keep the y key pressed for several minutes.
An option "always" on the "overwrite file" dialog or a checked option "overwrite all existing files" before the installation starts would make the process easier.

Hi,
I just installed 0.40.3-extended-20080603, and noticed that the contents of ../extra are now overwritten automatically - which I think is good.
To make everything complete, 2 more things would be ok: - the same behaviour for files in ../doc and other dependencies in /windows/system32 - that files in doc and extra folders wouldn't be written as read-only. or else, when installing a newer version it's necessary to go to these folders and put all items back to write-allowed.
