- I know that this is not the most appropriate place to ask this question, but
- Borland doesn't provide an email address for installation problems and their
- "free" hotline is very long distance for me. Can anyone help me out with the
- following problem:
-
- When I install Borland C++ 5.0, the files are copied to my hard drive, the
- Start Menu items are created, and everything is fine until the point at which
- the "Configuring IDAPI" message is displayed. Then the installation crashes
- and I am told by Win95 that "This program has performed an illegal operation
- and will be shut down." This happens about 5 times consecutively before the
- program actually *is* shut down. The details box displays the following
- message:
-
- INSTRUN caused an invalid page fault in
- module IDAPINST.DLL at 0137:00f17b6d.
- Registers:

- The compiler runs fine after this, so apparently Setup was somewhat successful.
- However, the uninstall option does not work. When I try to uninstall BC++ 5.0,
- I am told that an error has occurred and that uninstallation has been
- cancelled.
-
- Does anyone here have any idea why this behavior would occur? No, I did not
- try to install over a previous version of Borland C++. 5.0 is mt first.
-
- Please help me out if you can. Thanks!
