I could copy it, I suppose, but I am concerned that having two registry entries
for basically the same thing will cause support problems (believe me, it will).
I am 100% sure that someone will complain about it being confusing ...
Let me think about this.

Couldn't the install program ask if you want to instal a "personal" or
"global" copy of the software?

Would the average Win 95-98 user know the terminology and be reasonably
expected to choose correctly ? The answer is no.

Well then you recommend one or the other to the user, just like you do for
the images folder for renders.

Given that 9x/ME varients of Monopoly OS doesn't have any real multiuser
support in the first place, why would the install routine even ask that
question in a 9x/ME environment?
Only ask that question when the installer is running under a multiuser
varient of Monopoly OS (e.g. NT/Win2k); it's much more likely that anyone
who users a multiuser varient of Monopoly OS will know how to pick the
correct answer.
Don't cripple the software just because the average luser can't tell his
burro from a burrow.

Noting, of course, that the installer no longer asks that question for
the same reason, that people don't read.

For the next month. What's it do when XP comes out and Joe Luser is
running a multiuser operating system but doesn't know it?

About once a month I get an email asking "I have rendered my scene
file but I cannot figure out how to save the image to my hard drive.
Please help, J.L.".

package....
