Title: Installer bug? Post by: Zee on December 02, 2002, 04:40:19 am Just downloaded the 0.1 alpha for Windows, got some strange things during install.
1) When i start the installer/when i click the "next" button, it hangs for 10-15 seconds, using 100% of processor time. 2) After it extracted files, it changed directory to "Creating temporary file" and did nothing for 3 minutes, consuming all processor time, so i killed it. It seems that not all files are installed - uninstall.exe is of wrong size and some earth mask is missing. I checked the md5, it's the same as listed in your webpage. PS: why don't you use some kind of pak-files? The installation&deinstallation would be many times faster... Title: Re: Installer bug? Post by: M-ACE on December 03, 2002, 01:43:06 am :P
The installer needs some work. 100% processor time and 10 secs for the next button to process is a little ridiculous. I know its free and I'm very grantful for it but that doesn't excuse bad coding.

No one said it was anywhere near perfect. I'm sure the developers are using this as a "lets see where we stand with everything we have done thus far" release. Title: Re: Installer bug? Post by: Parker on December 03, 2002, 03:11:34 am Don't expect the project to use that installer again ;)
Title: Re: Installer bug? Post by: Phodid on December 05, 2002, 12:00:59 am I got the same problem...But Playing the game, and considering that most Alphas barely work, Id say they are doing a damn fine job. I always loved SC2, but my new computer cant run it...I was so happy when I went to Star-control.com to see the Alpha for this had been released. There are problems that need to be remedied, but Overall, it is amazing how far it has come.
