Re: Installer issues

Hi Kenny,

Thanks very much for your registration, and your feedback on Corman Lisp.

I am sorry about the problems you had installing. This is all done automatically by the InstallShield Express program. I believe it will use the temp directory (wherever you have it located, usually on C) for temporary expansion of installer files. I recommend keeping extra space available on drive C (or your system drive), since many applications use temporary space for things like this. You may be able to change the temporary directory to a different drive if necessary (although I don't know how to do this off-hand, it may be just by changing the TEMP environment variable).

I don't know about the registry key either. Corman Lisp installation doesn't do anything to the registry, so the installer should not be commenting about it.  :-)
Corman Lisp does add some registry entries when it runs, the first time. We specifically did this when it runs so that we wouldn't have to get into the installer stuff too deeply. My guess is that the environment entry is one that InstallShield uses for its own internal purposes, and your aborted install left something in a messed up state. Overall I have been very happy with the quality and ease-of-use of InstallShield Express. I am sure your installation is fine. As I said, all it really does is put files in the proper places. It doesn't do anything else. 

I hope you enjoy using Corman Lisp.

Roger
