This is an InstallShield bug in some versions of IS - as I've built
numerous InstallShield scripts (especially for where I work), I'm very
familiar with this.  On occasion, this bug happens -not- because of a lack
of free space, but because there are -too many- files in the TEMP
directory.  Delete some of the files (ignoring the free disk space), and
my experience has been that this usually goes away.

Not a bad idea.  Cygnus folks?

For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
