Item2505: Strawberry Perl cab corrupted in FOSWIKI 1.0.8
Priority: Urgent
Current State: Closed
Released In:
Target Release: n/a
Applies To: Installer
Component:
Branches:
It seems that the delivered
strawberry-perl-5.10.1.0.msi in the actual download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/foswiki/files/foswiki/Foswiki-1.0.8-0-strawberry.exe is corrupted.
I downloaded the setup on 2 different computers and try installing: On strawberry install the statusbar roll back and the installation crashes.
When installing
C:\Programme\Foswiki\Installs\strawberry-perl-5.10.1.0.msi manually I get an error message:
_The cabinet file 'Perl.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a
network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package._

eeek.
I've removed the installer for now, but am a bit worried what this means. :/
on one virtual machine I have it works fine, on an older
WinXP on which I have not updated, it fails as you describe.
Ralf, can you please tell me about your system (in detail)

I try it on a VirtualBox-VM V3.1.0 with WinXP-Professional/SP3 (all patches) and on a VISTA Ultimate/SP2 (all patches) without any software-installations. Installation on both machines failed!
After the canceled installation I try to install
C:\Programme\Foswiki\Installs\strawberry-perl-5.10.1.0.msi manually and it also fails with the described error. Then I downloaded
http://strawberry-perl.googlecode.com/files/strawberry-perl-5.10.1.0.msi and this installation runs without any problems!
I make a compare between the "two fruits"
and there seems to be a little difference with big consequences:
C:\Programme\Foswiki\Installs>fc /B strawberry-perl-5.10.1.0.msi b:\strawberry-perl-5.10.1.0.msi
Vergleichen der Dateien strawberry-perl-5.10.1.0.msi und B:\STRAWBERRY-PERL-5.10.1.0.MSI

Hope that helps you, it seems that the strawberry as a element in the installer is corrupted.
