Re: Setup.exe release-candidate
On Win98, setup concludes rather badly.
In previous incarnations, setup would launch a DOS window. Quite often
that would freeze my machine, reasons unclear. However, it was possible
to murder "winoldap" using the three-finger-salute and that would return
me to normal functioning - usually displaying the "Installation
Complete" message.
Now, however, a window is launched (doesn't look like DOS, but maybe)
that immediately freezes the machine. Murdering "winoldap" just leaves
it frozen. I also murdered a "cs2?????" task that was [not responding]
- still frozen but now Ctl-Alt-Del is not sensed. I wound up cycling
the power.
