Otto MacLin: Software Trouble Shooting
Tip #3 - I have installed these programs on dozens of
computers. Once I got the following error on a Win XP system when
trying to download a self-extracting file:

So like a good programmer, I just started emitting a bunch
of random behaviors.
- I tried to save the file to disk and received a similar error.
- I tried to open it from the Internet - still same problem.
- I tried saving it as a different name - and then running
it - still same problem.
- I tried to install it on another XP system (because I thought
there might be administration priv's issues) - It installed fine
on that machine.\
- Then I tried to install it again on the system that was giving
me problems and it work that time.
- I say this because sometimes you just need to try different
things (including lettingit set for spell).
