This could be also problem with RAM...Anne wrote:NEW INFO.. I have found that if I try multiple time to extract the SALAMAND.exe file, from the ss25rc2f.7z using the STANDARD version of Salamander, that the Salamand.exe file will sometimes extract without an error.
FULL version will not install on Win2k

Thank you for confirming the think with multiple extraction. It looks like there is some (random) bug in 7-zip extraction code. We should really switch to latest source code.
Thank you for your effort. We will release Salamander 2.5 RC3 during next week (and final version 2.5 two weeks later), please let us know if installation works on your computer.

No errors in my 512mb of mem

NEW INFORMATION
I changed my motherboard settings from OPTIMAL to STANDARD.
Now I can SOMETIMES get the ORIGINAL file "ss25rc2f.exe" to extract and install correctly with no errors.
This is the FIRST time I have been able to do this with the original .exe file since my reformat and reinstall of the OS.

No, did not notice any other problems other than Salamander.Jan Rysavy wrote:It looks like some hardware dependent problem. Did you notice other unusual problems with your computer?
It looks to me like a timing issue with the extraction process and the particular file. I have had no other problems with file extractions.
I continue to install other software and everything works just fine.
