I'm not familiar with Windows NT, since I exclusively worked with UNIX in the last years. Now I'm in the situation to port UNIX program to NT. There fore I downloaded 'full.exe' from the Beta 20 Release and started the installation procedure (double-clicking it.) WE use a German installation of NT 4.0 and I tried to run 'full.exe' as an unprivileged user and as a user not named 'Administrator', but with administrative privileges. Each time I unpacked into a non-existent path, which was then created by the installation program. In all situation the following happened: 1) I entered the temporary path. 2) I confirmed to create the path. 3) 'full.exe' unpacks it into the path. 4) I get a requester telling me, that the InstallWizard will be set up. 5) I get an empty dialog iwth an 'OK' buttton. 6) Pressing 'OK' stop the procedure without exver asking me for the installation path. I guessed from the varaious README files and FAQ's, that this is not the intended effect and I have no Idea what I've done wrong. Maybe the language confused the installation program ?(Why the hell an empty dialog ?) Many questions and no running installtion. I'd be kind if some body can could cure my confusion, so I can really strrt programming again. Thanks, Wolfgang Glas -- Mag.
