RC1 (fixed) installer glitches

I selected an alternate install folder, c:\projects, but then it errored out trying to write uninstall.exe to c:\Program files\TorqueGameBuilder which probably didn't exist at that time.
Also the installer pops open a windows explorer browser of this folder , which window then dissapears:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\ Torque GameBuilder SDK
That's a little bit unexpected.

There also could be a "Browse" button on the Mac OS installer. I like installing thing in the desktop and typing /users/bruno./desktop is somewhat annoying.

When testing, I ran into a work-around: Installed it on C:, then, without uninstalling it, installed it again on the new drive. It uninstalled (or deleted) the C: files, and installed fine on the new drive.

I launch the TGB 1.1 RC1 installer on windows XP, everything is fine, it installs where I tell it to.
Unfortunately, the "I accept the licence agreement" and "I don't accept" choices have no visible checkbox/radio_buttons. Instead, clicking the actual text ("I accept the licence agreement") simply encases the words in a dashed-line selection box.
And the directory choice is on a gray background, which is undistinguishable from the rest of the window.
It works and all but...Shouldn't it use a more 'standard' UI look and feel? i.e. white background for editable text boxes. My windows XP colors are standard and all.

Thanks for the report of the bad uninstaller path. The Explorer window is actually the start menu folder that is created by the installer. This uses windows DDE to create the items and because of this windows chooses to open the folder while creating shortcuts. This is beyond our control, but thanks for the report anyhow! I will get the uninstaller bug fixed today!
Cheers,
