Dear Les,
Some additional reactions:
- kix32 & wkix32.
We will implement your suggestion. The kixupdate will install wkix32 at the same time.
It can be necessary for backwards compatibility to introduce an environment variable
for this issue. - scr file association
We have never think about this way of using screen saver. In a future release we will
not influence the existing values for this scr association.
Possible that we will implement it for our vacation in the latest final kixtart release
(build 99). - return codes of express package
Les, we are always interested in the control file when the installation doesn't works
like expected.
Question: was it possible that you were upgrading to newer release on your windows9x
environment.
Possible the problem have to deal with the way data is written to disk in those
environments. Installation script thinks control file has been removed, but it was
still in the buffer.
To prevent this possibility please remove first the control file(s) manually. You
can find them in the c:\ and %windir directories. - filecomparison
The way you are comparing kix32.exe files will be implemented in our additional tools
kixcheck.exe and wkixcheck too. We will use a CRC check on a related
kixtart files. Tools will becomes flexible enough to handle also newer kixtart
releases.
greetings.
