Installer

You should really change your installer to one that CRC checks on loading, rather than installing. A great (and free!) option is NSIS (<!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis)">www.nullsoft.com/free/nsis)</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> by Nullsoft, the guys who make WinAmp. That one CRC checks on loading the installer. This is very beneficial for those who download from a different computer than what they're gonna install to, and that computer has no CD-Writer. That's how I do it, I download the files, split them with an utility, and copy them to 1.44Meg floppies. However, I had an error on one disk, which I though I fixed with ScanDisk, as the installer ran. However, when getting to a particular file, CRC checking failed.<br><br>CRC Checking on load will help users find out if anything went wrong, without having part of the game installed.<br><br>If you need help with creating the installers, let me know.<br> <p>Pidgeot<BR>-----<BR><I>Every error you find is the last one.</I></p><i></i>
