And that's why I'm running it on Vista for C6. But I had to develop
the path update for previous versions in case they are running on
vista, but I'm not attempting to update the win.ini.

Okay. I just wanted to be on the safe side because your wrote in one of
your previous messages that "...My testing shows that under vista, out of
the box, they all seem to update the correct win.ini file..."

I meant the OLD pre-C6 installers. On my machine, with no
modifications and running as an admin, the win.ini does get updated.
If it doesn't then I don't think that environment would be detected by
SB, would it? I.e. if I install 5.5 and it updated the virtualized
win.ini, would my SB6.5 install find it when using your DetectClarion
script is used? I presume that it looks in the real win.ini, not the
virtualized one?

Okay, I understand

You are right. Your SB6.5 install cannot find the Clarion information in a
"virtualized" WIN.INI. Your installer requests administrator execution
level and so all built-in Clarion detection features look in the "real"
WIN.INI.

And IMO if it doesn't work, well then I have done just about
everything I can to resolve it (using your C6 fix and my path fix) and
I'm happy with it
