I'm not sure it needs fixing. I just ran an install of my entire build tree including the reference docs (>10000 files). I'm on winxp with msvc8 sp1 with osg-2.7.8. No problems reported (except that with an encrypted ntfs drive it takes a bit of time :) What you are seeing could have many causes. Could be that you are installing to a network drive, antivirus software, hard drive failures, ... cheers Mattias _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
