installation problems

Post by sam »

I just tried to install madcollection. I overrode the path to be t:\madcollection
It gets about 2/3 through and then gives me
" The file madBasic\delphi 5\madBasic.dcu could not be created"
Error message " The system could not find the specified path"
Re installing does not help because it wont let me specify a different path
My delphi folders are C:\D5 and c:\D7 - could this be a factor ?
Help anyone. :cry:

I dont really want it in program files but at least it installed.
It also gave me an error about madUninstall being in use by another user. Strange since I never did an uninstall. Retry worked and it told me the installation was successful.

That sounds strange. Haven't heard any reports about installation problems for quite a while. You say "retry worked". So did you get installation working now?

Yes it did install but only when I used the default of "program files" when I tried to install to c:\madCollection it gave me the error :-
"The file madBasic\delphi 5\madBasic.dcu could not be created"

I would guess the error will happen to you unless the problem is because my delphi folder is called c:\d5
