Hello,

I installed 1.0 on top of previous installation. (Removed all files and folders before installation, except appdata stuff).

Then only problem was the debugger path. I'd installed in different directory (I had kind of manual installation before on this virtual machine).

I was just thinking that Installer knows where the files are, so at least it should save them as defaults selectable from the Combo box.

Even better would be that those Combo Boxes would be owner drawn in a way that it would show clearly which of them are valid (File found) and which is not.

Just my 0.02?

Post 1.0 Lazarus has added debugger detection and checks to the setup dialg (lazarus --setup) that checks for valid debugger, searches some paths (IIRC also the one in the existing config and suggests the best one.
