| how bizarre...
|
| having just posted my previous message... I thought I'd
| try the process just once more... i.e. searching for
| gcuncompress.dll, etc etc... and now appear to have
| gcuncompress.dll in my system32 folder (and I am CERTAIN
| it wasn't there before and I've run the repair function
| at least four times)... but it's presence doesn't seem to
| have had the hoped-for effect i.e. the update process
| still tries to move it from version 5725 to 5737
|
| God... this is even more strange... I've just tried
| updating once again, having renamed gcuncompress.dll, and
| repaired the installation... and I swear it didn't do it
| last time... but it does seem to think it's the latest
| build...
|
| I hate flakey software.
