At the weekend, I tried to install the Balkans Theater and twice it failed despite saying that installation was complete, but when I opened BMS Falcon, it was not listed. I checked the theater.1st file and it was listed.
On those two attempts I had left the installer running whilst I did something else in the house. On the third attempt, I thought I would watch the installer carefully and see if I could spot something. Everything went fine, until the very end and very quickly a message popped up that fast I never got time to read it. But I managed to catch something on the lines of “Unable to install (Some file was refferred to)……insufficient space”. The instant the message vanished the message popped up “Installation Complete”, which it was not, it was unsuccessful again.
I cannot see why this was happening as I had plenty of free space on the hard drive and the installation program was also telling me how much space it would use and how much space I had etc. And after installation I still had space free.
Just for benefit of doubt, I uninstalled a theater I do not use and some other folders full of things I do not use and on the fourth attempt, installation was successful. On checking hard drive space, There was still plenty left and more than my earlier attempts so what was amiss I do not know and as to why the installer was telling me insufficient space.
Maybe if an installation log was made for the installer, there might be a better clue as to what was going wrong.
