Does anyone know how to install CutePDF into a properly designated
directory?
I like the freeware CutePDF Writer which creates PDF files on Windows
from any file. And, I don't mean to look any freeware horse in the
mouth ... but ... It really irks me when an installer is so dumb as to
not allow you to install a program properly where it belongs, in a
task-based directory tree (I'm sure Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter installs
wherever you what it to go).
I mean, nobody I know uses "Program Files" to install into on Windows
XP anymore.
That horribly unorganized "Program Files" flat directory structure is
such a Microsoft mess that nobody can organize it properly, IMHO.
On the contrary, for many years I have kept a very well organized
"C:\My Programs" set of basic directories where the directory tree is
organized by task (not brand names).
The problem is the freeware CutePDF installers located at
http://www.cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp does not respect the
need by most of us to install where we want.
Since CutePDF is freeware, I can't complain. But, before I use
something drastic such as COA32 to change the address from the silly
marketing BS directory "C:\Program Files\Acro Software\CutePDF Writer"
to a much more logical and well organized directory tree under "C:\My
Programs\Conversion Tools\CutePDF", I figured it was worth asking the
experts how they resolved the issue themselves (many of you must have
run into this problem before).
How do you install the freeware CutePDF Writer where it belongs on your
system?
