Borland Applications May Appear to Hang When Installing (82377)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82377 SUMMARY
Sometimes Borland's Turbo C++ may appear to stop (hang) when you install
Turbo C++ from Microsoft Windows File Manager; however, Turbo C++ is not
hung. Resize the open windows so that the Turbo C++ Setup application icon
is visible. Setup continues normally.
This also may apply to other Borland products using similar install
engines.
MORE INFORMATION
Some third-party products have a Setup program that looks for actions, in
this case an unnecessary WM_PAINT (to repaint the icon), that tell Setup to
continue. Under Windows, WM_PAINT is not sent if the application's icon
does not need to be repainted, as when it is covered by other windows.
Make sure the icon (created by double-clicking the Setup program in File
Manager) is exposed. Move the icon, or resize any obscuring windows, and
Setup continues as expected.
The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of
Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these
products' performance or reliability.
