Release Notes
1. Occasionally, some shortcuts to batch files may not be removed when
uninstalling on Windows 95.
2. During a Unix self-extracting installation, when searching for VMs, the same
interpreter may display multiple times (typically if a directory in the PATH is
repeated).
3. Using forward slashes in a path to a shortcut prevents the shortcut from being
created.
4. InstallShield Installation Applet Issues:
- Installation may terminate with core dumps when run on Netscape Communicator.
- On Solaris, xterm must be in the PATH environment variable for the Virtual
Machine installation to work properly.
- In some cases, the applet installation fails silently with no indication, yet
the end user is presented with a message that the installation is complete. This may occur on Solaris systems when the jre/java interpreter dumps core if the font.properties file is present and the X server doesn't have the right set of fonts.
- Browse button for Netscape Communicator on any non-Windows platform is
disabled. This is because the currently available version of Communicator (4.04) does
not ship with a FileDialog java class on non-Windows platforms.
- During an applet-driven installation on the Unix platform, when searching for
VMs, the same interpreter may display multiple times (typically if a directory
in the PATH is repeated).
- Open file dialog may be minimized on the taskbar after clicking the Browse
button when installing through Netscape Communicator on the Windows platform.
- Open file dialog may open behind the browser when installing through Internet
Explorer 4.0 on the Windows platform.
- InstallShield Installation Applet web page user interface may appear distorted
when displayed in Internet Explorer 4.0 on the Windows platform.
- The Applet does not appear in Netscape Communicator on the Windows platform if
the applet Web page is opened from a network drive.
For example, if you use the File | Open Page menu command and browse to a page
hosting an applet that resides on a mapped network drive, the space where the
InstallShield applet Wizard should appear in the page is blank.
The Applet will appear in Netscape if it is opened from the hard drive, or by
using a fully qualified HTTP or FTP address.
- Two Open file dialogs may appear after selecting the Browse button during an
applet-driven installation on Internet Explorer 3.02. The second dialog may
appear after clicking OK on the first dialog.
