How can this happen. I re-install fs2crew, and on every account on the PC it installs 4 pdfs. Whats more it locks them so I can't even move or delete them.

 

I don't know who let that happen, but it is quite annoying. :mad:

 

 

Must be some thing  to your system   no issues  here, maybe  Bryan can share some info here

Hi Julian,

 

The PDFs aren't locked or undeletable or unmoveable.  They're just ordinary PDFs.

 

You got something else going on there.

 

Maybe this?

I freed up some permissions on the users and deleted the pdfs.

 

That said, why are the documents aimed  on the desktop (or are are they?)  Obviouslyly The 'Stop Stop' PDF is inportant, but I think say could be stored in a better location.

They're just links.

 

We do that because many users have trouble locating manuals.  So we make it easy for them.

 

Cheers,

Ok no worries, but if every software developer did that, it wouldn't be a good thing.   At some stage the user has to learn to navigate to the expected place, where the documents might be.

 

Just my opinion that is all.

Cant  see any issues  with all software  doing  this,  since  once its on the desktop your know its  there  and have gotten the pdf's   and  than   you can place them anywhere you like for future reference.   This  as Bryan pointed out  for users asking  where are they.

 

 

Many pieces of software do it. Is it the right thing to do? Maybe, maybe not. As Bryan states, not everyone knows where to find them Given how easy it is to delete it's no hardship. It was odd why you had your problem, I've had that maybe once. An odd rarity. But, one software developer, in the huge field that is software developer, cannot make a stand. Some do, some don't. Comes down to know you're audience I guess

Anyway rant over.

 

FS2Crew is great and I look forward to the next version.

Didn't realise a rant started. But when I said "known you're audience" I meant that software developers do what they feel is best for their customers, which Bryan has stated that's what he has done.

 

It was just unfortunate you ran in to a problem I've seen once a blue moon

It not a massive problem, I could delete the files.  I'm not the most techichal Windows 7 expert on the planet, but I would know to look in the FS2Crew folder and find the documentation.
