Upgrade error

[vefatica]

Upgrading to build 40, after clicking "Next" on the installation directory page I got a message box ... caption "Error" ... message "The application ran into a problem it couldn't handle. Sorry for the inconvenience" ... details below. When I close the message box, the "Choose a file location" page still shows and is frozen (with hourglass) ... trying to "X" it brings back the message box ... Updater window is also dead, can't close it.

I could install build 40, but the command dir (TCC and take command) sends blank lines to screen (one or more) between items. I returned to version 36, I use TCC near all the time and the double character is not a problem with TCC.

The same Windows Installer bug you've been reporting for years. Try running it again.

Not reproducible here. What version of Windows are you running? Are you seeing it both in tab windows and stand-alone TCC console windows? Are you running any plugins?

The double input character fix was for Take Command only; it does not affect TCC, and it does not affect command output.

Anybody else able to reproduce this with build 40?

I reinstalled the build 39, it works, the problem I saw was with build 40, both in tab windows and stand-alone TCC console windows.

TCC 16.00.39 x64 Windows 7 [Version 6.1.7601]
TCC Build 39 Windows 7 Build 7601 Service Pack 1

No plugins.

I will reinstall build 40 to see if the problem continues.

I updated from build 39 to build 40, it runs OK now.

As wky says, I put it in the "unexplainableonetimeerrors" folder ;-)

Build 39 and build 40 are identical; I changed the version number because 39 was a private test build and 40 is a public release build.

I have occasionally seen that installer issue with various builds. Usually I re-run the installer and it works fine. I've never seen the issue with any other installers I've used on my system.

JPSoft's installers are the only one's I've ever had any problems with, as well.....

If you Google that error, you'll find thousands of other apps experiencing the same problem. The installer developers say they can't reproduce it (not surprising, since even the people who experience the error can rarely reproduce it on a subsequent attempt).

 

[Charles G]

Maybe JPSoft's installers use a lot mor code hen the other installers and so there is more chance of things going wrong....

Is there a way to determine where in the installer the error occurs?

Can I log each install?
