Yes. However, if you're installing something, you've obviously been given administrator access.
It's not to do with explaining effect. It's to do with keeping user specific stuff out of the installer, especially when it'll probably be wanted by other users later (which makes the Welcome dialog ideal). In this case, though, this has to be done in the installer, as the portable settings obviously won't be relevant any more once the installed copy starts. |

Hi all. I'm currently running the latest NVDa snapshot and I have to say I'm highly impressed with it. However, I'd recommend a slight change if its possible. I've noticed that if your running an installed copy, and you want to create a portable copy to run from a flash drive, there's an option that says, copy current configuration, which takes your currently installed settings, plugins, etc., and copies them to your flash drive when creating a portable copy. I personally think the reverse should also be true. I think that if your running a portable copy, and you want to install NVDA on the computer, there should be an option that will copy your portable settings, plugins and so on to the installed copy. I say this because I have a customized portable copy, with plugins, prefered synthesizers, and so on set up to my liking. When I tell the portable copy to create an installed copy, it installs a default version, with no custom settings, or anything, and I have to take my plugins, synthesizers and so on, and copy them to the correct installed directories. I think that if its possible to import the portable settings to an installed copy, it would make things a lot easier. This is only a suggestion, however.
