Description gospelmidi 2013-07-15 11:52:14 UTC

I do not have a C: drive. My %BootDrive% is h: and my %SystemRoot% is h:\windows.

The installation of 3.4.1 crashed  - toward the end, I think - with a "Could not find c:\WINDOWS" error message.  Enough of my installation was complete for me to be able to use WRITER.

Win XP support ends in nine months:

May I suggest the use of a more modern OS?

Concerning your bug, please consider portable install:

Why not?
I find it sad people are still using Win XP today.

Because they don't have the money to pay for a new OS?
