So what environmental values did your installation create?
PATH=?
ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=?
What's in the registry under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ada Core
Technologies]?
...?
If I make manually similar configuration entries as you got when
installing in c:\opt then I should be safe. (?)
I succeeded to get GNAT working with help from Adrien :), but I am
curious about how my entries is compared to for instance the result of
an installation to c:\opt, which is not the default (C:\GNAT).

I don't want to change the installation on the XP hardisk (see previous
postings). I just want to make necessary configurations on the win 2003
hardisk to be able to use the existing GNAT installation when the
computer is booted as a win 2003 installation.
The 2003 installation is only used for a .NET course and is likely to be
deleted when the training is over (I prefer AWS over .NET :)).
