NT4 SP5
PD 4.31/4.34
I'm currently running PD 4.31 which originally installed fine. Trying to update to 4.34 by just running setup (no uninstall first) gave error message "Please close all Windows and Dialog boxes" with just OK button. Using Task manager to check there are no other applications running and just the usual NT processes (rasman etc). No matter what processes I closed using TaskMan I can't get past this error. Had to use TaskMan to end task and abort install.
On next boot I got error saying cannot access MGACTRL.DLL - which no longer exists.
Tried re-installing 4.31 which now also gives me the "close all windows and dialog" message.
Any ideas please.
What files being open are causing this problem - what does the install look for ?
And as an aside - why Matrox, do you seem to delete MGACTRL.DLL before doing all the checks which may halt the install. You'd have thought that the 'close all windows' check would have been placed before any file deletes, especially when it leaves a state which may be un-recoverable by only having an OK response
Thanks.
