Decompression error

[NewsArchive]

I've seen this ('Decompression error') come on a site after saving the app
and trying to install. Using SB6.
Deleted, resaved the app and all worked fine. Any ideas?
Thanks

While testing a new install I received this error: "A decompression error
has been detected". Then the file name and #4. I am a little slow so I took
me a while to figure out that there was not enough diskspace.

Is there a way to make sure this does not happen to my users? The reason I
say this is because after acknowledging the error a dialog asked if you
wanted to rollback. I made the mistake of click Yes/Ok. The process REMOVED
all of the EXE and a good number of the DLL. So rolling back was a disaster.

I feel there must be a way to stop this from happening.

I have attached a quick and dirty demo. If there are not (at least)
999,999,999 bytes of free disk space available then the install will not
continue.

BTW, we'll add an "Automatic Disk Space Validation" in the next build.

Added as standard functionality to the "Ready to Install" dialog.

---
IMPROVEMENT: (sync from SB8) Runtime: Add "Automatic Disk Space Validation"
to the "Ready to Install" wizard dialog. The installer
validates available disk space before continuing.

If the "Disable Automatic Disk Space Validation" checkbox is
marked, the installer will not validate available disk space.

Nice!

That would also make users not try to install on the delivery media too <g>

In your project? Then I think you forgot to set a Dialog Label?

Friedrich,
Thank you, I think I have it.

Cool!

BTW, in the next maintenance release, this will be handled automatically.

Cooler yet, I am glad I was able to give you an idea and one so easy for you
to include.
