Seemed strange to me as I'm the only user for this system and my user id has administrator status. My biggest problem was getting the linker to work with GTKADA libraries and I recall I had much the same problem with GPL2009. I still had my 2009 GNAT install and I returned to that and things worked fine. This morning I tried again with the GPL2010 version and it all worked. So I'm not sure exactly what the problem was but I suggest installing GNAT first and then rebooting before installing the other components. The only other problem I had was GPS finding the GTKADA.GPR file. In the 2009 version I only needed "with "GTKADA.GPR"" in the project file but in the 2010 version I needed to provide the full path to GTKADA.GPR. In my case it was "with "e:\gnat\2010\lib\gnat\gtkada.gpr"". Perhaps I've corrupted something in the GPS configuration files having two versions installed. I haven't tried the win32 component because my current project doesn't use it. While I was trying to get the GTKADA linking issue solved I fiddled with the environments paths and other settings but in the end I only needed the GNAT bin directory in the PATH environment variable. This was the same for my GPL2009 install. Paul --
