Mar 17, 2015 at 11:04 comment added Albert Retey I don't think it is a very good idea if a package globally changes system options on load -- after all it might make all other code that would run in that instance and uses the DataFunctions break. Also your code will break if someone resets the system options to their defaults....
Mar 17, 2015 at 7:41 comment added Rolf Mertig @Verbeia Ask your IT dept to fix this. They should know how to fix this if they lock things. And if they do not (what would be really strange), you could ask them to put SetSystemOptions into Kernel/init.m, which might or might not work (you might have to ask Wolfram if it does not, and why they do not have a FrontEnd/init.m per package ...)
Mar 17, 2015 at 4:14 comment added Verbeia Thanks @halirutan - yes, that's the correct edit. Was in a hurry and had forgotten how to do it right. Anyway, the wrinkle I hadn't mentioned is that the packages are in Eclipse Juno, and I'm launching version 10 from there. I don't have write access to the production version of the packages because our IT dept locks access to that folder. (I'm on Windows 7 here.)
Mar 17, 2015 at 3:41 comment added halirutan Seems to work for me. Can you probably add a minimal package code like this one so that we can try what doesn't work for you? Additionally, on what system are you? (Btw, is my edit of your question correct?)
