Hi all

Just a question for you computer techies out there.

Is there any reason NW installs into my users/public folder and not the usual program files x86 etc?

Thanks for help.

    Are you sure it's not just the download of the installer that's going there? And then when you install it goes into program files? I didn't check where it went so I can't be sure.

    Not sure. Other games sometimes do that. For instance, some games on steam save to that folder. I would bet it has to do with some users using 64 bit machines and others 32 and it being a pain in the *** with a windows system to code for both. Maybe saving there allows them to bypass any weirdness an OS might present? That's the best I got, other than that I'm not sure.

    Some games just do that. I have several that installed to that directory.
