Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade to CXO 6.2.0.  The installer is having problems creating 
the CrossOver menu and gives messages like this:

cxmenu:error: unable to create 
the '/home/pwaldo/.cxoffice/desktopdata/cxoffice-0/cxmenu/xdg-applications/CrossOver' 
directory: mkdir /home/pwaldo: Permission denied 
at /home/paul/cxoffice/lib/perl/CXUtils.pm line 453

cxmenu:error: unable to 
save '/home/pwaldo/.cxoffice/desktopdata/cxoffice-0/cxmenu/xdg-applications/CrossOver/.directory': 
No such file or directory
cxmenu:error: unable to create 
the '/home/pwaldo/.cxoffice/desktopdata/cxoffice-0/cxmenu/xdg-kde-applications/CrossOver' 
directory: mkdir /home/pwaldo: Permission denied 
at /home/paul/cxoffice/lib/perl/CXUtils.pm line 453

I used to be user pwaldo, now I am user paul, so /home/pwaldo does not exist, 
but /home/paul does.  It seems that the installer is storing my old home 
directory, and not using the current home.  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!

Paul
