Hi Nick, actually I am not creating ROOT binaries from scratch but rather trying to compile my own (unix) project on win98. What are the problems around root 3.02 bins on win98? I've been quite successful with making my libs under win98 and running exe and scripts, although I have noted that root crashes on some actions with canvas etc. PS. to "installshield" discussion. I checked out InstallShield coming with MSVC... It has "change registry" part in the install script, so what's the problem with setting paths under install? On the other hand what prevents you from writing a few lines in the shield script which will manually add two lines in autoexec.bat file? You have to restart com then but who cares...
