This is a bug... in path can't be used spaces or special char and it
doesn't reposition the cursor at the right place :)

If "One Click Installation" is selected, they aren't needed (and they are
disabled). I updated the wiki.

mmhh... it use generic svn command line program, so if you type "svn" in a
new "command prompt" window it should work also on Lazarus Manager...

fpcup had other problems, couldn't make it work either.

I don't know how fpcup works, but if both aren't working it should be a
system problem... I don't know... I'll try with an other PC (win8.1 x64).

Lazarus Manager can't manage lzma (or tar), I show a pop-up when required
(and I add an advice on log) that this step should be done manually. Anyway
Lazarus Manager will stay in standby until files aren't copied. This is a
my log:

...
[16:18:21]: ****************
[16:18:21]: Please, extract
C:\Develop\Tools\Downloads\binutils-2.23.2-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma\mingw32\bin\
to:
C:\Develop\fpc\Binutils

Here, you need "ar.exe", "as.exe", "ld.exe", "zlib1.dll", etc

[16:18:21]: ****************
...

Well, the procedure should follow a defined path. If there isn't binutils
into the directory everything after the check doesn't work. Of course,
there are controls about not proceeding if binutils aren't found, I don't
know why in your system this doesn't work... strange.

Update works only if first installation was ok, so something not defined is
happened (and binutils are absolutely required).

This log is not so smart :-p
It just writes what is processing and when it ends, but it doesn't tell
(yet?) if all is gone right. Anyway, if in Lazarus (branch/trunk) there are
exe files all is gone right :)

I don't really know... it seems like there is some interference with other
installation/something else, but Lazarus Manager should not care...
