I found the problem with my D2007 Help install - the DVD I was
installing from failed to read one large help file - I watched it
retry for about 5 minutes and then give up and continue with no error
message. I was a little bemused the installer could miss some files
without giving any warning.
The installer I wrote for (non-Delphi software) always had a packing
list as part of it - if any of the files were not not found at the
destination end the installer would abort.
Is checking for all files a feature or not in most Windows installers?
- eg Inno Setup (which I use). For Inno Setup I presume there the fact
everything is in one file more or less means all have to arrive at the
destination, otherwise the installer will not run....
Related - I don't know how to scan a DVD for data errors......anyone
know of a way?
I would have thought it would then try and download it. But maybe it is
a bug in the way they built the install?
