I remain suspicious of your anti virus software.  You should check the 
AV logs and see if they quarantined any files around the time you 
installed Demeter.

As I said up front, I have never seen this problem before and no one has 
ever reported anything like it to the mailing list.  I am not trying to 
dodge responsibility, but nothing you've said so far indicates that 
there is a problem with Demeter or the installer.  It really seems to me 
like the problem is your AV software or some other aspect of how your 
computer is administered.

As always, I am 100% open to being convinced otherwise.

You could, I suppose.  That might help track down the problem.

You will need to configure Demeter to find the newly installed gnuplot, 
or it won't help your problem with Athena.  That is, Athena is 
configured to look for a specific copy of gnuplot in a specific 
location.  That location can be changed, but it won't happen 
automagically if you install gnuplot in some other way.


By the way, when you say "Windows computer", what version do you 
actually mean?  32 bit or 64?
