Steve,
Thanks for the contribution. The non-descript error messages have been one of my pet peeves for some time.

I have often wondered what would be involved in providing proper messages and if it could be done without having to install a DLL. Since I am not a programmer, I must continue to wonder. Do you know if it would be possible for Ruud to include descriptive messages in the binaries that would not have to be installed requiring admin rights?
