Thank you very much. I only looked at the main Libre site, where it is
still mentioned in a preview.

Really, the mistake was done by AdaCore. Incidentally, the win32ada
installer *does* request elevation, but neither GNAT for Win32 nor GNAT
for .Net do.

Also, while GNAT for .Net tries to integrate with Visual Studio 2010, it
fails. Somehow. There's an entry for Ada projects, but it doesn't work.
One wonders if they actually test their (free) products; seeing that they
are basically advertisement for GNAT Pro, they might want to put some work
into it.

The announcement says,

"Support for Visual Studio 2008 for the .NET Framework"

(Which reminds me that once I have a new hard drive I might
consider upgrading from VS 2005 to VS 2008. But since the MS hotfix
supposedly addressing a font installation issue for Office 2010
makes the .NET 4 client upgrade fail, thus forcing removal of
file protection (ACLs?) from system (font) files, I'd rather not
touch a Windows system more than needed ... ;-)

Did you do that installation as an "ordinary" user or did you run the
installer as an administrator?

I'm just asking because I anticipate getting a new Windows 7 machine in
a couple of weeks and of course one of the first things going on it will
be GNAT GPL 2010. :)
