icon BUG: setup appending to install path (0)  
I ran the full install.
DROD chose to install itself in
C:\\PROGRA~1\\DROADAG~1\\
(this is were I had most recently installed 1.5)

I went to change the directory, and selected in the file browser:
C:\\Program Files\\DROD1_6_25\\
(which contained a copy of DROD 1.5)

When selected this directory, the pathname in the textbox at the top read:
C:\\Program Files\\DROD1_6_25\\DRODAG~1\\

I have an old version of Wise Install. After I upgrade it, these kinds of problems should go away.

There is a bug entered for this, thanks.

Before I realized that Wise was a company, I always thought the producer's of software were very arrogant calling their uninstall program "unwise.exe".

I never made the connection - I just assumed that "Unwise" meant don't click on this or it'll uninstall.

I give them some credit for having a sense of humor.

Also, it is the easiest-to-use setup software for Windows while still having a competitive set of features. I much prefer it to InstallShield.
