When I lunch the installer the installer freezes, in the window "Setup - Great Cow BASIC" there is the message "preparing compile script" , the progress bar has reached the end.
This window is blocked, I cannot move it using mouse.
My PC is a Toshiba Satellite 2450-101, OS windowsXP home edition SP2 (language italian).
Someone can help me?
Thank You very much.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
When the installer says "Preparing compile script", it calls a program called mkcompil.exe, which creates a batch file that calls the compiler. It then installs gputils.
I don't know what would be causing this error or how it can be fixed, but as a work around you can create the compile script and install gputils yourself.
To do this, go into the GCBASIC install directory and create a new text file called "compile.bat". Then, paste this in:
@ECHO OFF
C:
cd \PROGRA~1\GCBASIC
copy %1 compiled.txt>nul
GCBASIC /NC /V compiled.txt
del compiled.txt
gputils\bin\gpasm -i -q -IC:\PROGRA~1\GCBASIC\gputils\header compiled.asm
If GCBASIC is installed to somewhere other than C:\Program Files, then you might need to change some lines.
You'll also need to download and install gputils seperately, if you don't already have it. Please visit http://gputils.sourceforge.net to download gputils.
Everything else should be okay - the installer should have finished copying all of the files before this message appears.
Incidentally, what is the "Program Files" folder called on the Italian Windows XP?

Thank you very much, for your help, I will try the script.
On the italian version of Windows XP "Program Files" folder is "Programmi". The translation in english of programmi is programs.

I've tried using the compile script creating program with C:\programmi on Windows 2000, and it crashes just as you have described.
I'm fixing this bug as I type, and a fixed installer should be up within a few hours.
Thank You very much, I tried first the script, and after the new version 0903, all it's ok!
