Known problems and workarounds
Failure while copying files
One common problem with InstallShield was the failure to get things installed properly. The scenario is as follows: the setup runs normally, some error occur, and InstallShield removes everything (normal default behaviour!). Several errors can trigger this scenario:
  • the CD-ROM is damaged
  • your cdrom reader fails to read correctly several thousands of files because of a buggy driver
  • there are errors on your hard disk
  • your hard disk is full; this can happen quickly because of the 32k cluster size of the FAT filesystem (the 40000 files need about 800Mb to get installed on FAT)
