Ok MAP i tried line 84 but it didn't work and the cleanup utility option the
page didn't exist anymore. As for line 94 with the notepad status bar, where
is that supposed to be, in the registry editor? Like i said iam not exactly
enamoured with it basically i can only navigate it as for actual editing i
don't know where to start! As for my problem after line 84 fix the problem
still appeared but not immediately so minor improvement but still not fixed.
Also i forgot to mention in my original email that the windows firewall
alert icon in the system tray appeared telling me my firewall wasn't on. Now
i knew that cos i turned it off because i do not need it but i cannot get
rid of the damn thing dunno how that is related to my installer issue, hope
you might know. I appreciate your help with this.
Thanks Neal
