Re: [WDSCI-L] how long does it takes to install wdsc v5.1.2

[Duane Kehoe <dkehoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You don't have a copy of the program open by accident, do you?  There 
are not any messages waiting behind the window, are there?  My reasons 
for asking are as follows:

1)Uninstallers can not run if the application is open.(I realize this is 
basic common sense but...)
2)I have seen the uninstall window over shadow a message dialog 
before(try using ALT+TAB to search through open windows to make sure) 
which caused me to think it was running forever when it was actually 
waiting for me to respond.(I had to answer one of those "are you sure" 
questions)

It has been my experience that the uninstaller runs in about 1/4 to 1/3 
the time of the installer and I have never had an installation take this 
long(I have run WDSCi on everything from a P3 700MHz laptop /w 320MB 
RAM, to a P3 1GHz desktop w/ 512MB RAM, to a P4 2.66GHz(with and without 
HyperThreading) desktop w/ 512MB RAM and the longest an install took was 
around 2 hours with me working on other things at the same time.  My 
guess is there is a message waiting or the program has somehow hung(good 
luck if that is the case).  Hope this helps
