Hi all,
there were some recent postings about installers that will return
non-zero return codes even if everything was successful.
I have had this problem myself (mostly when running Win-XP-Hotfixes) and
suggested a .ignore-all-err switch.
Paul Griffith posted a patch for todo.pl sometime ago, it works fine.
See below.
@Paul:
Thanks for the patch and sorry for being so late with my feedback.
Regards
Gerhard
