No, Windows. If he had any UNIX, I think he wouldn't have so much trouble. For example, in today's unix-like systems, most configuration information is written as hidden files in the user's home directory. Same with the Mac except it is often ~/Library/Preferences/ where you create a directory there, read, write and manage files that control config stuff.
When I was trying it he didn't have a built-in profile for the New Portra 400 film but he posted the RGB gammas for you to drop in a file the software would read. The Windows version could be any file name as long as it was in a certain directory. But the Mac version had to be a specific file name and he passed that off has it had to be that way and couldn't even tell you where that file was to be placed.
Now why the software simply doesn't prompt the user to enter the info and automatically save it for you is a mystery. Maybe writing plugins for Photoshop are in a some kind of sandbox with limited IO capabilities.
