Hm. I tried it without deleting the cache.ss file; I ran Setup PLT.exe,
and it didn't overwrite the cache. Then starting up DrScheme gave an
error that it couldn't find the collection and automatically exited.
Then I deleted cache.ss manually, reran Setup PLT.exe, and it didn't
recreate the file, but it now starts up without the error.
Aha -- there's an ambiguity here. I'm talking about having installed a
.plt file to my *user-local* library (~/Application Data/PLT
Scheme/299.29/collects), and the cache file is in my *user-local*
directory (~/Application Data/PLT
Scheme/299.29/collects/info-domain/compiled/cache.ss). This is the file
that isn't being updated automatically.
