Summary: IzPack Windows Installer should install in a directory
with the version number
Product: Kepler
Version: 1.0.0rc1
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Windows 2000
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P4
Component: installer
AssignedTo: higgins at nceas.ucsb.edu
ReportedBy: cxh at eecs.berkeley.edu

The installer should install in a directory that contains the
version number of the release.
Under Windows, the default is c:\Program Files\Kepler,
it should be c:\Program Files\Kepler\1.0.0.
The reason is so that it is possible to have multiple versions
of Kepler without changing the default path. If the user
already has an installation of Kepler, then if they overwrite
the old version, will "good things" happen?
In a similar fashion, the installer should create separate
menus for each version.
What we have now is :
Start -> All Programs -> Kepler -> Kepler-1.0.0
Start -> All Programs -> Kepler -> Kepler Uninstaller
Instead, we should have:
Start -> All Programs -> Kepler -> Kepler-1.0.0 -> Kepler-1.0.0
Start -> All Programs -> Kepler -> Kepler-1.0.0 -> Kepler-1.0.0 Uninstaller
This is just my opinion, feel free to ignore.
