Thanks,
I got fpc-2.4.0.i386-win32 released in Dec 2009 from SF.
I also got the combined lazarus-0.9.28.2-fpc-2.2.4-win32 with an
earlier release.
Both are binary installers.

If I run the FPC installer I will get 2.4.0 and if I then run the
Lazarus installer it may or may not install FPC 2.2.4. I hope it will
detect the existing 2.4.0 fpc and *not* use the 2.2.4 version it is
bundled with. But is this the case?

Or does the lazarus installer not check that there is already a newer
FPC on the system and skip the fpc 2.2.4 installation? In that case
ther will be two different FPC versions installed; so which will be
used by any compile command issued?

Unfortunately our firewall does not let svn calls through so I can't
use the svn sources at work...
