partial install

[enruiz]

IN the event that my users download my exe and only manage to download 95% or 99% of it, is there a way during the install to warn them that the install is not complete rather than them see an application error?

Thanks

If a partial install is downloaded and run there should be a message that comes up saying the file is not complete (unless the download was cut off below about 300KB. What you can do is put the setup.exe in a zip file. That way they will geta message from their Zip program saying the file is incomplete...

that's what I am looking for, how can I display that message: you wrote:

The message comes up automatically.

What my problem is though is that my customers are sometimes downloading only 95% of the exe and then launch it and it proceeds with my exe screens but eventually fails because of the partial download. No message appears beforehand....Does that make sense?

Go to Design -> General Design -> Settings and enable the "Verify archive before installing" checkbox. This is exactly what you are looking for.
