[WriteLog] MMTTY plugin installation again

[Floyd Sense]

To those all those who replied to me off the reflector:

1. Yes, I have studied the information at rttycontesting.com and the plugin 
info there did not lead to the answer.  While the tutorial recommends the 
install into c:\Program Files\Writelog, that wasn't stated as an absolute 
requirement.  Besides, at least one who replied to me says his works fine 
with the other directory path I mentioned.

2. The default install directory for Writelog 10.50D (full install) on my 
system was NOT c:\writelog, it was c:\ham\programs as I stated.  If that 
were not the case, I wouldn't have said it was.  At least one other person 
found that to be true as well.

I uninstalled Writelog, MMTTY, and MMTTY plugin and reinstalled them again 
in this order: Writelog, MMTTY plugin, MMTTY.  This time, the default 
directory for Writelog was c:\Program Files\Writelog.  The reason for the 
difference in default directory is unknown.  Needless to say, the fact that 
the plugin installed says that it was happy with the new Writelog setup.  Or 
maybe it was something else?  A previous reinstall of Writelog in the c:\ham 
directory path produced no good results for the plugin install.

I guess the moral is: If you have a similar problem, uninstall everything 
and start over.  By the way, I used Norton Systemworks to clean up all the 
broken stuff after uninstalling the three packages.  Through this all, I 
neglected to remove writelog.ini from the Windows directory, but that 
apparently made no difference.  The operating system here is Win XP home - 
maybe that had something to do with it?
