Weirdness. The setup.ini currently on mirrors.rcn.net doesn't have extraneous " marks. However, when I run setup.exe, it crashes.
But, it DOES save an uncorrupted copy of the brand new setup.ini to my local disk. So, I ran setup.exe and selected "install from local directory" -- and it was able to parse the setup.ini FINE. No crash. Huh? This is repeatable. What does the lex parser have to do with the net-io/localdisk-io code? --Chuck Christopher Faylor wrote: > On Wed, Nov 28, 2001 at 06:00:45PM -0500, Charles Wilson wrote: > >>Christopher Faylor wrote: >> >>>The recent reports of setup.ini corruption were due, I believe, to the >>>use of embedded "'s in some recent ldesc additions. >>> >>This was my fault. <hangs head in shame> Sorry.... >> > > Hey, I didn't say nothin.
