Hi Thomas,
I'm still running into a problem with -nwinstall-.  I just uninstalled, and reinstalled -nwcommands- and the associated help file.  When I tried -nwinstall-, with or without the -permanently- option, I get an error, in which the program complains it can't find the nwcorrelateattr.dlg file.    Can you fix this one?

Here's whatI happens in Stata:

. nwinstall, permanently
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://nwcommands.org/
nwcommands Social Network Analysis Using Stata
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Program by Thomas Grund, Linkoping University, IAS

PACKAGES you could -net describe-:
    nwcommands-ado    Social Network Analysis Using Stata - Core
    nwcommands-hlp    Social Network Analysis Using Stata - Help Files
    nwcommands-dlg    Social Network Analysis Using Stata - Dialogs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
checking nwcommands-dlg consistency and verifying not already installed...

Hi Mike,

the problem should be fixed now. However, notice that the default path for profile.do is changed back to sysdir_stata. The reason is that Stata actually recommends this location (and it solved some follow-up problems when the personal folder does not exist yet), but you can change it to your own personal folder using the path() option of nwinstall. I tested it on MacOSX, but will make sure it also works on Windows machines tonight. 

Run an adoupdate

. adoupdate, update all

And then 

. nwinstall, all

This should give you the "Network Analysis" menu bar under the "User" menu and access to all dialog boxes. 

Best,
Thomas
