First up, yes I deleted the install files off my C:\ drive, I'm using VMWare
and forcing a local cache is not cool, I hope it gets changed in BDS2007 or
CDS2007.

Anyways, I'm trying to recreate some of the structure to get around this
error:
"Line 3474: Attemping to get value of undefined variable HAS_SLIP".

I have the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\CodeGear\RAD
Studio\5.0\cglm.ini file which has:
[CodeGear SLIP Files]
SLIPFile=

I don't know if its not able to locate this ini file or if something else is
missing. I've tried recreating the {AB3EC276-D261-4943-A921-1CC1C6799AED}
directory and coping the install files, and the ini file, but no go. Also
this is preventing me from doing a repair install as well.


Any ideas?

A little digging in InstallAware's forums got me a command line option to
log the install, but it only logged:

<InstallAware>
<SetupSplash>
<StubSize>
</StubSize>
<StubData>
</StubData>
<GlobalLists>
</GlobalLists>
<SupportDir>
</SupportDir>
<ExtractArchive>
</ExtractArchive>
<ExtractResource>
</ExtractResource>
<ResourcePath>
</ResourcePath>
<Dialogs>
</Dialogs>
</SetupSplash>
<RunScript>
<Variables>
</Variables>
<CompileScript>
</CompileScript>
<BootStrap>
</BootStrap>
<myah>
</RunScript>
<Free>
</Free>
<CachedSupportDir>
</CachedSupportDir>
</InstallAware>

since as soon as I click next after selecting modify or repair it errors
out, not much logging happens.

Was this before or after you registered?

I dont have one in that directory, on the other hand I do have one, but
it has a lot more info in it than that.

I think its because you've registered, but it cant find the entries in
the ini file to go with the files it found.

I'm pretty sure it was after, I know I got it up and running before removing
the files, but that was a month ago.

I just wish I could figure out what file its trying to pull HAS_SLIP from,
or why its not defaulting to a safe state.

Is it still part installed, if not, delete *EVERYTHING* under codegear
in all users, make sure theres no bits in registry HKCU and HKLM, and
make sure you delete that big install dir, AND the c:\program files bit.

Except that I was hoping to get setup to run, so I could see if I can
uninstall together support without completely uninstalling and reinstalling.
My current plan is to install at home to find out what I'm missing.

You just wanted to remove together support? I think you just comment it
out the registry :)

I installed it at home and yup I'm missing all kinds of files, I'm going to
try and copy those back into my VM.

Thanks for the suggestions,
DD
