I think all the trouble originated by running the uninstaller (which was 
installed by admin) from an non admin user.

Watching the pics you attached you seem to not have write permissions.

to get everything working do a fresh 0.54-0 install from your admin user.

NOTES:

installers prior to 0.54 were unusable for non admin users trying to 
install to default (system protected) folders like "C:\Program Files\*" 
and also was unable to write to the registry or create startup menus.

you posted:

> "System tells there is already a Pd installation" which impossible!

i think you did uninstallations from your non-admin user which silently 
went wrong and the registry keys were not deleted which causes lots of 
headaches to the new installer as it thinks Pd is installed.

What bothers me most is that i dont understand why the new installer 
did't kick in all the "non admin" installation paths and registry stuff. 
but i think this might be triggered by your first failed uninstallation.

will have to investigate later.



again: to get everything working do a fresh 0.54-0 install from your 
admin user.
