Windows 7 (64-bit)
Rexx v5.0.0.11860 (32-bit)
ooRexx-5.0.0-11860.windows.x86_32.exe

rexx.dll locked - error popup during install.
This is a fresh W7 PC. The first thing I do after completing W7 install is the oRexx install so no previous Rexx exists.
Note that the oRexx installer exe is on a READONLY LAN share.
When I copy the installer to the local harddisk all goes well.

    Here are my steps to reproduce this.

    Pre-req:
    - a clean WIN7 install (so no previous oRexx install ever)
    I can reproduce on both a real PC (WIN7 64-bit) and in VirtualBox VM (WIN7 32-bit)
    - installer file c:\ooRexx-5.0.0-11860.windows.x86_32.exe (any location will be fine)
    - a read-only directory from which you can run the installer (this one is critical)

    Steps to reproduce:
    - open command prompt (mine is an elevated one, not sure if that is relevant)
    - change to the read-only directory (mine is read-only LAN share W:)
    - start installer:
    w:>c:\ooRexx-5.0.0-11860.windows.x86_32.exe

    You see the popup 'Welcome to the Setup Wizard'
    - press 'Next'

    You see the popup 'License Agreement'
    - press 'I Agree'

    Usually I get the rexx.dll locked message at this point.
    But if you do not, you will now see the popup 'Choose Components'
    In that case, press Back twice to go back to the 'Welcome' popup and retry ('Next' and 'I Agree')

    I found that going back and forward a few times always triggers the rexx.dll locked message at some point.

    One other thing:
    Once you get the rexx.dll locked message, one choice is to press Cancel to quit the install.
    However, Cancel does not Quit but instead continues and eventually completes the install.

    FWIW, also on r11984 the above steps reproduce this error.
    Installer used: ooRexx-5.0.0-11984.windows.x86_32.exe

    rexx.dll locked error message, still there:
    - ooRexx-5.0.0-12558.windows.x86_32
    - on a clean WIN10 system that has no previous ooRexx installation

    It is not the error itself that concerns me (I know the solution), it is the misleading error message:
    .. this indicates that not all Rexx programs have been halted.
