The Gogins releases also require OPCODEDIR/OPCODEDIR64, but the GUI
installer automatically sets environment variables. You may want to use
that instead if you have problems with setting the environment variables.

It would be ***very*** helpful for there to be defaults for all these
directory variables, so that most users wouldn't even have to bother with
(or even know about) them. It is very confusing, especially considering the
fact that Istvan's versions are the only Windows Csound (to my knowledge)
that requires the user to supply these variables(??).

How many times has this problem arisen recently?

Let's always keep the average user in mind. Certainly, by the time we get
out of beta, this issue will be addressed? (Either that, or we won't have
many average users.)
