Continue Install After Error

[NewsArchive]

I have a potential customer who could not install my product because for
some reason he has blocked installing fonts. He gets the Cannot Install
Font Message and the install ends.

Is there a way to display a warning message and then continue with the
install?

Lynn,

I don't think there is a "cannot install font" message in SetupBuilder.
Perhaps his Fonts folder (under the Windows folder) is locked (access
denied) and so the installer cannot copy the file into that folder. Only
create folder or install file failures result in fatal errors. A "cannot
install/register font" would never abort the installation process.

You can check in your script if the Fonts folder is accessible (writable).
If this is not the case, do not install the font (using If..Then..End) and
display a message (if you want), etc.

Does this help?

Thanks Friedrich,

What took you so long. <G>

As in another post I am paraphrasing my customer/prospect. He did mention
the font name when he called so he knew where the problem occurred.

Thanks for the reply. Perfect answer.
