Hello -

Whatever program you use to unzip the Radiator distribution will allow
you to specify what directory you wish to use when unpacking.

The example that I showed previously assumed that you unpacked the
distribution to C:\Radiator - however as I mentioned before you can use
whatever directory you wish to.

And you do not use "ppm" to install Radiator - instead you should
follow the directions in the installation section of the Radiator
reference manual ("doc/ref.html" and it is available on the web site
too).

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive
(www.open.com.au/archives/radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
