Re: Multiple issues with InnoSetup XEmacs

The new version looks for FTP in the wrong location. efs-ftp-program-name is set to "C:\\WINNT\\system32\\FTP.EXE", it should probably be just FTP.EXE (or setup more intelligently at run-time). This breaks Tools->Packages->List and Install.

I changed it to FTP.EXE, did List and Install, selected xemacs-base 2.01, restarted XEmacs. It seems to work, except: M-x list-load-path-shadows shows: c:\Program Files\XEmacs\xemacs-packages\lisp\build\build-report hides c:\Program Files\XEmacs InnoSetup 21419pre1\XEmacs-21.4.18\lisp\build-report

Since I did not install this XEmacs into c:\Program Files\XEmacs I guess this is a sign of either some hardwired path in the new XEmacs or that it looks somewhere in the registry and finds data that belongs to older, still installed, versions of XEmacs. I then did Update Installed Packages, it barfed with *Message-Log* containing several errors: #### *Message-Log* star .. Opening FTP connection to ftp.se.xemacs.org... Logging in as user anonymous...
