Hi HC,

Thanks for this:

Pd-extended and Pd vanilla are installed into %PROGRAMFILES%\pd\bin\pd.exe.

%PROGRAMFILES is a environment variable that varies depending on the language of the install. Some possibilties:

C:\Program Files

Is there an escape character possible here?

As in "C:\Program/ Files\pd\bin\pd.exe"? I remember this space was a problem when I was trying this on Windows long ago.

It shouldn't be a problem on recent Windows. You can always put the whole path in quotes, like "C:\Program Files", to make sure. If I type: echo %PROGRAMFILES% in a command prompt it gives me this: C:\Program Files
