Installer Error

[Okmeque1]

Describe the bug
I have tried installing on Windows XP SP2 Supermium to my USB drive(D:\Supermium\SM118(x64)) and the installer refused to install, even when I deleted the folder, citing "Unspecified Error". The installer first deletes the folder then tries to install before throwing the error.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1 -> Attempt to install Supermium 122 to USB/Directory on USB

Expected behavior
I expected it to install properly with no errors.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows XP SP2(Dell)
• v122_xp32(Supermium version)

Additional context
Windows XP SP2 UNMODDED. Has all of the drivers properly installed.
Specs :
Dell Latitude X300
Pentium M CPU @1.40GHZ
631MB RAM to system
No video card(integrated)

Thanks,

Why not SP3?

Why not SP3?

Don't want to upgrade. I know it will work on SP2, because what I had to do is install to a random directory on the C: drive then copy the contents of that random directory into a proper folder on my USB, which the installer was unable to do. And I also have more SP2 systems that I don't want to upgrade. I ain't got time to upgrade these systems to SP3, and most XP programs works on SP2 with no issues.

We must have the source code to be able to debug such problems on source level.

It is not proper, that code for installer component not published.

You could debug it with IDA :)

Well, I can't install it to any directory on XP SP3 POS Ready. I get the same error. What's the workaround? This is my first time attempting to install this, and the directory doesn't already exist.

Edit: Workaround for me was to extract the 7zip contents to a folder, then run setup.exe manually.

Looks like you have "(" and ")" in path. Could it be a reason?

No, tried on a different directory(D:\recreatebug) and it still wanted it.

Not exactly, because instead of the installer completing properly the 2nd time for me it will never make it. Also I'm running XPSP2 so this is in fact not a duplicate of #319 , but more of a Related to.

As I say before, we just need to have the source code for this installer, (the code is small, simple, and has no "knowhow"). So if someone having troubles, (If they are developers, even beginner developers). They can recompile this installer, debug it, and find cause of the bug, and propose changes in the code.

The opensource projects intended exactly for that.

In same time, person having more experience, can implement more complex code planned for other components. I mean DXVA (Video Hardware Acceleration) support for XP and so on.

P.S I've tried the installer on Windows 10 and it returned this :

EDIT : I've read here that this is a "file not found", which does correspond to error code 2, but what file is it unable to find? Shouldn't have to find a file, right?

I have made a slight revision to the installer which should make it workable across multiple volumes (as just tested) and include an option that may be relevant to this method of operation, which is to not write to the registry on the system of installation.

MoveFileExW with MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED does not work as intended with directories. I switched to SHFileOperation which seems to work the best out of all the options available.

Please retest your ticket @Okmeque1 with
Supermium 122.0.6261.85 Hotfix (R2)
it should be fixed now. Close your ticket in case it is fixed.
