15 2. Unpack the zip archives. This will create a new directory "vim/vim73", |
| 7 | 16 in which all the distributed Vim files are placed. Since the directory |
| 17 name includes the version number, it is unlikely that you overwrite | |
| 18 existing files. | |

| 23 After you unpacked the files, you can still move the whole directory tree | |
| 24 to another location. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 3. Add the directory where vim.exe is to your path. The simplest is to add a | |
| 27 line to your autoexec.bat. Examples: | |

| 34 Extra remarks: | |
| 35 | |
| 36 - To avoid confusion between distributed files of different versions and your | |
| 37 own modified vim scripts, it is recommended to use this directory layout: | |
| 38 ("C:\vim" is used here as the root, replace with the path you use) | |
| 39 Your own files: | |
| 40 C:\vim\_vimrc Your personal vimrc. | |
| 41 C:\vim\_viminfo Dynamic info for 'viminfo'. | |
| 42 C:\vim\... Other files you made. | |
| 43 Distributed files: | |

| 7 | 48 In this case the $VIM environment variable would be set like this: |
| 49 set VIM=C:\vim | |
| 50 | |
| 51 - You can put your Vim executable anywhere else. If the executable is not | |
| 52 with the other distributed Vim files, you should set $VIM. The simplest is | |
| 53 to add a line to your autoexec.bat. Examples: | |
| 54 set VIM=c:\vim | |
| 55 set VIM=d:\editors\vim | |
