[Bf-committers] Windows BLI_getInstallationDir (aphex!)

[Simon Clitherow]

Hi,

Strange one!  Unfortunately, the patch by itself breaks the reading and saving of .B.blend on Win9x (and I'd guess Win2k/XP?...)

A fairly easy fix but a pain... you need to prepend a '/' to the strings on lines 512 & 515 of util.c, line 426 in usiblender.c and line 1615 in writefile.c.

Commit away!!! ;)

Hopefully, we can end the Windoze Ctrl+U transition period soon (2.33?) and get some kind of sanity back... 

Hmm, maybe now would be a good time to bring up the ever popular topic: "Installation"... ;)

Cheers,

Simon
