InstallAware

Hi,

I am considering a review of InstallAware on http://www.developerreviewed.com so I just spent a good bit of time downloading the approx 200 meg demo. When I then tried to run the downloaded file, and put in the password, I got the message Download Corrupt. Now, I have since started downloading the file again, but it just dawned on me- was the password CaSe Sensitive? If I didn't enter the password exactly as emailed to me could this have resulted in the error message? instead of a "wrong password" message?

(Disregard, but this might help someone else. The password was indeed CaseSensitive, and this dialog message was inaccurate. At least that's how it seems to me. Continuiing the install).

Thanks Dennis for reviewing InstallAware.

Yes, if an incorrect password is entered, the download corrupt error is displayed - the compression engine for security reasons does not distinguish between corrupt data and incorrect passwords to prevent hacking passwords.

The good news is this message can be customized in your built setups (for example, to say "invalid password or corrupt download").

Thanks, first very simple install I created went well. I have a lot of things I intend to try on InstallAware, so I may be back to the forum with other questions.

Dennis
