- This isn't true. I installed 5.0 last night and got this exact same error.
- I didn't install 4.52 at all. I ran the system monitor and it looks like
- it's running out of memory at the point where it loads the RWADDON.DLL.
- I have 95% resources free with 16 Meg of RAM. But the monitor shows the
- Kernel % climbing to 100, and then I get a page fault, followed by a dialog
- saying either I'm out of memory or the file's corrupt. I tried manually
- copying it back from the CD, among other things, and it still gets the error.
- I think it's just a bug. I'm going to check out Borland's Web site. If I find
- anything out, I'll post it here.
