A 1. If WinGX 1.80 is installed into a directory which does not have an initialisation file “wingx.ini”, then the installation starts the automatic build of a default INI file. This procedure looks to see whether the plugin programs are already installed on your PC. Sometimes this procedure fails and the installation hangs up. In this case, simply close down WinGX, go to the installation directory (actually the directory pointed to by the environment variable WINGXDIR – by default c:\wingx) and place an empty file called “wingx.ini” in that directory. The program defaults will then be written to this file when the program exits. You will need to set the plugin programs manually, using the menu item File-System-Applications.
