And what is the usual Install Shield problem ?
And most important: What is the solution ?
I guest, I should of never deinstalled it in the first place. I didn't want
to run into
any compatibility issue problem - to get a good picture of what OpenNT could
offer. I was disappointed by OpenNT mainly for:
1- it does not offer yet symbolic link (yes I know gnuwin32 either - but
it's free)
2- it has strange mount mapping (ie: //C/OpenNT/bin/csh... must be used used
instead of !/bin/csh)
3- high price
Thanks for your reply.
