Hello Juan.
I just installed 1.6.9 x32 to "C:\PCL" (instead offered by default "C:\Program Files\PixInsight")

Look at result bellow.
Best regards,
Nikolay.

Hello, world.

Hi Nikolay,

I have to investigate this further, but there should be no problems installing PixInsight on an arbitrary folder, in theory. With C:\PCL or C:\PCL64 it should work fine, but let me make more tests.

Anyway, the correct way of installing Windows applications is on the appropriate system folders: either "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" on 64-bit systems. The old C:\PCL behavior was incorrect and compromising compatibility of PixInsight with future versions of Windows.

Happy to know it's working for you now.
