Re: st: problems installing outreg2 (Windows Vista)

[Oliver Jones <ojones@wiwi.uni-bielefeld.de>]

Hi,

yesterday I tried to install -outreg2- but I couldn't do it.
I thought it was because I'm not an administrator.

My workaround was just copy the necessary files.

I found this tip somewhere on the Statalist...


Best
