- Now we've fixed `win-versioninfo', choose some sensible outcomes from the installer's comparisons of binary version numbers. Also, give the installer _itself_ a matching binary version. In particular, without this change, it would not have been possible to downgrade PuTTY -- it would have silently left the "newer" files in place. Now it will make some fuss, but permit it. - Also remove descriptions from shortcuts, on the grounds that the binaries have embedded descriptions now. (Although I've not checked whether those are actually visible in the Start Menu.) - At the request of various people (e.g., PJB), add flags so that if files are in use at the time the (un)installer is run, replacement is deferred to the next restart. (The user may be prompted to restart, which isn't ideal; see comments). This is supposed to make centrally-pushed silent upgrades more robust. - Note some limitations of the installer.

PuTTY README ============ This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and installed PuTTY on your system. What should I do next? ---------------------- If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the Start menu. If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP, you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On Windows NT and 2000, you can set it using Control Panel > System; on Windows 95 you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult your Windows manuals for details. What do I do if it doesn't work? -------------------------------- The PuTTY home web site is http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports telling us `it doesn't work'.
