[izpack-devel] Running IzPack with VM 1.5 without SigSegV

[Elmar Grom]

Hi folks,

it's strange to hear all this stuff with Problems about 1.5. Somehow I can't
relate to that. Neither do I have any Problems on my machines (Windows 2000
and XP) nor do my customers report any.

So I start wondering if it might be something else. One thing that is
different in my case is that I use quite an old version of IzPack. So
perhaps the causes are not with the shell link. As far as I know this has
not changed since it was first implemented.

It sounds awfully tedious but it might be worthwhile to start going back in
time in an effort to identify the first version of IzPack that does exhibit
the problems you observe. That might give us a narrower view on the things
that may cause the problem.

One problem I do have is that I never could get newer versions of IzPack to
run in my environment. That is why I still stick with the old one (Julien
might remember a conversation on this topic quite a while ago). Right now I
am at a point where I have to give my build environment a work-over to build
a parallel version of my application. Therefore this might be a good
opportunity for me to invest a day or two in order to get this working. At
the same time, there might be an opportunity for IzPack in general to
benefit....

Does it make a difference that I was running it as Administrator?

It'll be a while.  I'm still trying to figure out ANY versioning system
so I can import those changes without losing the SimpleConfig stuff Fab
and I still have to publish here.
