XYWriter does not install, saying file not found #578

Open Anixx opened 4 years ago

Anixx commented 4 years ago

When the installer copies files, at about 30%, an error message appears: Clipboard_20200103 Due to it, it is impossible to finish the installation.

This is very strange. I don't see this at all. Are you testing with the installer that I posted in another issue report

Anixx commented 4 years ago

Yes.

I tried the installer on another Windows 10 system, and the installation completed successfully. If I chose the option to use XyWrite's printer drivers, I got a "protection violation" when I started the program. When I deleted the installed setup and resintalled, choosing to use Windows printer drivers, the program installed and ran successfully. I can't imagine what could be wrong with the installation that you tried.

A possible answer to this: I found some old messages saying that the XyWin installer locked up if a CD drive was attached but had no CD in it - and this happened because the installer searches all drives. Both systems that I've been testing have CD drives, but no drives attached. Are you testing on a system with no CD drive at all? That may (or may not) be the issue.

The DVD drive is disabled in Program Manager. I think it is not visible to any Win16 software.

You need to set EnumFontLimitation=1 in otvdm.ini or it overruns the buffer it uses to store the font list.

I did this, it does not help.
