Description
I just tried installing Parrot today on my Win32 machine. I didn't specify any particular paths, instead using the defaults.
On Win32 "make reallyinstall" installs parrot to c:\usr\runtime\* when it really should install to C:\Program Files\Parrot\*.
This doesn't even get to any of the other Win32 nastyness that our installer should deal with (adding C:\Program Files\Parrot\bin\ to the PATH, adding *.PASM and *.PIR file associations in the registry, etc).
Getting a good installer or install target working on Win32 is probably important for the 1.0 release.
