[bt-devel] Windows Module Install bug

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Greg,

Do you have a sword.conf in the directory where bibletime.exe is 
installed?  how about a mods.d/ ?  These take precedence over SWORD_PATH.

The idea is that an app can override systemwide configurations if they 
place either their modules or a sword.conf in their own directory and 
specify the desired behavior for their app.

Hope this uncovers a clue,

	-Troy.
