Nvu Web Authoring System
...is a free Open Source multiplatform HTML editor that runs under Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows. I just installed it under Microsoft Windows Vista and it works fine there too.
Ive been using NVU for more than a year with Windows XP, but on a new laptop that has Vista Home Premium (nothing else was available!) it seems to be impossible to install NVU 1.0 from the .zip file. Vista elegantly unzips the archive, but won't let me put the files in C:\Program Files\NVU. Vista seems reluctant to allow any copying to or reading from files in the root directory or C:\Program files\subdirs.
How did you contrive to install NVU on a computer with Vista? (I've tried the NVU website, but it's unhelpful.)
Thanks in advance for your anticipated good advice.
