[erlang-questions] Erlang on Windows from USB

[Fabio Mazanatti]

Hi Giuseppe,

why didn't you install it directly on your pendrive, instead of copying an
installation from your hardrive? I'm not aware of Erlang's install package
for Windows, but I guess you can point the installation to any drive you
want (that's standard Windows behaviour)...


Cheers,
Fabio Mazanatti
