Application Data directory in preference to the old-fashioned attempt to find the user's home directory, and use the _local- machine_ Application Data directory in preference even to that. SHGetFolderPath() is called via GetProcAddress, so this degrades gracefully on old Windowses. (Tested myself on Win95.) As part of this change, we now search for a location for the seed file separately for reading and writing, so that installing the new PuTTY should cause a seamless migration as the old seed file is read from the old location and then a new one written to the new location. `putty -cleanup' attempts to delete the seed file from _all_ affected locations. Naturally, a user-specified seed file path in the Registry still takes priority over all other means of finding the location. [originally from svn r7082]
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'.
