Not so smooth upgrade.

I installed the upgrade to 4.61 -- now when I try to build a project, I get this:

I do not show anything that references "c:\temp" anything...

What is the install path used for PB4.61? Does it have it's own unique folder in C:\Program Files?
Would be best to install to, say, C:\Program Files\PureBasic461 rather than overwrite the previously installed version.

So each new version of purebasic isn't really an upgrade, it's a new program -- makes sense with how userlibraries are (not) supported ...

thanks, i'll do that.

I use a few libs, they are all '4.60' and seem to be working fine with 4.61.

I think a clean install of PB always works best (perhaps an essential file does not get overwritten etc) - plus of course, if it transpires that the new has a howler, reverting back to old is a snip.
