If you have downloaded and installed VW 7.2 NC, you may have seen a problem with missing source. The sources aren't missing - the problem is that the system isn't finding them. Normally, when you run the installer, the VISUALWORKS home variable is properly set. The problem is, the driver file for the installer (a file called install.map) has a bug in it - and the variable isn't being set. To solve the problem, go to File -- Set VisualWorks Home. Set it to the top of the VisualWorks install directory, and all should be well.
