    How I blew my users up (By Gov Arnie)

    Hello

    Tale of woe to follow:

    I used ********** to create a INNOSetup script based on my setup.lst file created by the PDW. I compiled this script into a setup program for my app using INNOSetup.

    I distributed the app to my users for testing and now all of the Win98 users can't boot their machines.

    The culprit turned out to be the file msvcrt.dll that came from the system dir on my workstation (WinXP) that overwrote the same file older version on the target Win98 machine.

    So I go to the INNOSetup sight and low and behold what do I find but a new version that won't let you do the very thing that I just did.

    Long story short I need to do more research in to the INNOSetup and I need to do more thorough testing before I deploy new versions.

    Well Anywho I'm off to find the fabled redistributable copies of my files and the fountain of youth.

    Thanks

    David
