Can't it just ask the user if they want to change file associations?
Maybe even do something like Photoshop and let the user tick off each
file type to change (although that's not really needed IMHO)...
I think setting file associations and icons would be very very
useful, if possible it would also be cool to put alternate actions on
(so you can right click and select open rather than run)

Just optional (maybe option button for open with EE or
run), or check if already associated.

I changed DEBUG__AUTOEXEC to "". I selected C:\ as my boot
drive and "confirm changes". after few questions, "The
installation program was unable to alter the autoexec.bat
file. No changes were made to this file. Please see the
file install.doc in Euphoria's doc for information on how
to make these changes manually." See the log at the end of
this email.
But I tried again and succeeded. (dont know why)

Because it is common in windows installer programs, and if
you don't agree, at least give user chance to change install
dir after review.

T> ?? Okay, I will look into that.
I mean, if I installed to "c:\contoh 4" then the autoexec
path should be "C:\contoh~1" or "C:\contoh~2" etc depending
on the MSDOS name.
12. If I select cancel it will ask user "If you terminate
Euphoria 2.2 Installer at this time, Euphoria 2.2 may not
be properly installed. Do you wish to exit at this time
anyway?", if user select No, "A log file containing a
description of all actions performed by the installer has
been created, named c:\eu_install.log" and then continues.
