Looks like the installation of an ide on Eu4 needs Eu3 to exist. This probably should not be necessary.
No, it doesn't require Eu3 at all. It can run on either.
What I think will be best is to install Euphoria 4 on my host machine in c:\euphoria4 since it does seem that the two can co-exist quite happily. I will use Derek's IDE as it will look for the Eu4 binaries.
The IDE will only look for a Euphoria binary in the "bin" folder inside the folder you set as "Location of Euphoria". If it finds exwc.exe it assumes you want to use Eu3 when running your IDE projects from the IDE. If it finds eui.exe then it assumes you want to use Eu4.
I'll re-download the Eu4.0.2 Windows installer, and Derek's Win32Lib and euide.exe and set the eu.cfg more-or-less as specified; then from what you are saying it should run quite happily. I will install the new Win32Lib into c:euphoria4\win32lib\include so I have two completely isolated installations. That sound sensible?
Yep, but I don't see why it wasn't working already.
I'm hoping that at the end of this I can produce an install file for Win32Lib and IDE to load into a Eu4-only system which will run out of the box.
It already does.
