Windows XP64 install bug

[dstates]

Installing Protege 3.31 on Windows XP64, everything works except that I
get "Task menu => All Program => Protege 3.31 => (empty)".  If I
navigate to c:\Program Files (x86)\Protege_3.3.1 I can launch the
application by double clicking on protege.exe and everything seems to
work.  Maybe somewhere an incorrrect assumption is being made about
c:\Program Files vs. c:\Program Files(x86)?

Hello David,

Sorry to hear that you are having a problem with the installer.  The
installer is working fine on 32-bit XP systems, but unfortunately, I
don't have a 64-bit system to test with.  I would recommend the following:

1).  Upgrade to the latest Protege 3.4 beta build [1].  We are not that
far away from releasing this version and it has many important bug fixes
that have been integrated since the 3.3.1 release.

2).  If you still have problems with an empty Program Group, you can fix
this manually in the Windows Explorer under C:\Documents and
Settings\<your-user-name>\Start Menu\Programs.  Here, you can edit the
Protege Program Group to have the name that you want, and you can make
sure that the correct shortcut to the Protege application is present.  
Steps for doing this sort of thing are described in detail on
Microsoft's website [2].

Thanks, I will give it a try.  XP64 is a bit of an odd ball OS.  Most apps are really XP32 running in compatability mode.  Even has two distinct and non-interoperating ODBC frameworks :(

Jennifer,

I have a 64-bit XP machine. With Protege 3.4 beta, I also have empty
program group. However, Protege 4 correctly installs the program group
on my machine. You can check its settings to see how that's done.
