Steve,
I gave it a shot.  It installed okay on a Win98 (_not_ Win98 Second Edition)
machine with minimal other software installed (one I'm rebuilding at work).
The machine had Office 2000 Professional (SR 1) and Norton AntiVirus 2000, and
that's about it.  I installed the Ldraw base installation, the latest
Complete.exe, then ran the LDAO setup.  It replaced some "older versions of
system files," whatever that means, then restarted and ran the setup okay.
Machine rebooted successfully, and LDAO worked.

Hope this helps,
James Wilson

someone be willing to try this out, and verify that it works?

The test copy is at:

Just remember: the previous version of the LDAO installer tended to cripple
Win9x systems.  So don't try this version unless you can easily recover your
machine from disaster.

I did discover the cause of the problem in the last release:  it was a bug in
the setup-builder I was using.  A really big bug.  One of those that should
never have been shipped.

Needless to say, this new test-install uses a completely different
installation system.

Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Steve

(...) Great! I've also gotten a couple of positive responses via e-mail. So I'll go ahead and post the revised LDAO. Just as soon as I get a couple of niggling bugs worked out.... Steve (24 years ago, 21-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
