_______________________________________________________
Details:
On installing Octave 4.0 on Windows (7, Enterprise, my account has admin
privileges, installed under that account) and running for the first time,
Octave's directory path was initially set to C:\Windows\system32
An odd choice - users should never see that.
On subsequent launches of Octave its path was set to C:\Users\myaccount
as you would expect. Possibly something not being fully initialised by the
installer?
[Also related to install, it's very odd that Octave installs under C:\Octave
rather than under Program Files (x86)\Octave or Program Files\octave; Octave
configured for i686-w64-mingw32. Not clear from that if I'm running a 32 or 64
bit version, though mingw32 suggests 32-bit, ie should be under Program Files\
and that I'm going to run into problems with large datasets...
If I need to debug differences in behaviour between 32 and 64-bit versions (as
I do with Cygwin itself - I have both installed, and they do exhibit
behavioural differences), how would I even do that? Would expect to see a
32/64-bit installation option for 64-bit systems eventually.]
