[vlc] Problems With Update

[Mark Kaye]

    Hello.  I hope this is the right place to report this.  I have 
been updating to windows version 1.0.1 from 1.0.0.  When the older 
version of the program starts, it notices that there is an update 
available and then asks for a directory to download the update 
to.  After selecting a directory, the program pauses and then comes 
up with an error message stating that it cannot open the selected 
directory for writing.  I then went to your web site and downloaded 
the program manually and installed it without a problem.  I then went 
to two other computers with the exact same results, whatever 
directory I pick is not available for writing.  I have administrator 
rights for all the computers.
    Another point that has always bothered me about the installation 
is the delete cache and settings option.  As the program un-installs 
the old version, it pops up a question box that gives you the option 
to delete cache and preferences.  Then the program goes through the 
un-install and starts the install of the new version.  At a point, it 
asks what options you want to install and the box is so small that 
the check box for un-install cache and preferences is not visible, 
but is two pages down.  In the install, this box is checked again.  I 
wonder how many people do not think to look to see if this box has 
changed its status before proceeding?  Either this box should be at 
the top of the list or the fact that it was clicked on in the 
un-install should be remembered during the install.
    Great program, keep up the good work!

    Clear skies!
