- Subject: new setup.exe not as reliable as old
Was updating my out of date packages. One was perl. Under
newer setup (2.573.2.2) it would get an access violation,
repeatedly, as it was trying to remove perl.
I ran the older setup (2.510.2.2). Worked fine the first time.
There were other packages that were being installed at same
time, so I tried them separately (under new-setup), they worked
fine. But with just perl&doc, ->Coredump.
As said, older setup worked fine except for warnings to upgrade
to the newer, non-working version. ;^/
My perl is installed now, so I am not "blocked" in any way,
but I did want to mention the reliability issue on the new
setup in case others ran into it.
What was supposed to change in the new setup, anyway? Is
there a URL for the Changelog?
Tnx,
L
