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)

-- SvenDowideit - 15 Dec 2009

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" smile 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.

yup, thankyou alot - that helped indeed, I've uploaded 1.0.8-1 - it tests ok from my testing

cheers

Great: Foswiki-1.0.8-1-strawberry.exe runs again without problems, Thanks for your assistance!
