This is a discussion about Install shield run amok and creating millions of setup.exe ? in the Windows Software category; My installation routine for files under win2kpro 3 has always been a litle picky. but lately 2/3 games have caused me large problems when trying to install. If i put in the game disk. . the auto installer just keeps running one setup.
My installation routine for files under win2kpro 3 has always been a litle picky.
but lately 2/3 games have caused me large problems when trying to install.
If i put in the game disk..the auto installer just keeps running one setup.exe after another...forever...my processor will eventually reach 100%.
In any event, i must reboot to recover.
I can't verify my files because in quite a few cases it wants a service pack disk..and it won't recognize the one i made when i downloaded the packs from the internet. Its very hard to abort the file checker in that case.
Anyone else been experiencing this...
Or, even better, does anyone have a good solution to this problem?
TIA

don't get me wrong here...i'm just a home user with sole access to my network.
I'm behind a firewall and have a virus checker.
I've never really needed a virus checker since i only download from known sources. But to be doubly safe..i do use a virus checker now...for about a year.
When yu see something like this, virus is the first thing that comes to mind.
But...nope.
As i say...i've had some interesting install problems before..but never like these last 2 games.
Usually i can just by pass the auto install and run setup AND make sure i'm using the lowest drive letter. So it wasn't a big deal.
But this...spawning is above and beyond acceptable.
No troubles with XP on this score.
