Cringer Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Ever since you have included the Ask in the installer, if the system or any firewall blocks the application "AskInstallChecker-x.x.x.x.exe" from accessing the internet when a computer is connected to the internet, the installation will hang. The only way around this is to terminate the installer, then disconnect the machine from the internet; for DSL or cable you have to turn off or unplug the modem from the machine. After that you can install the program without any problems. What I can't understand is why the AskInstallChecker is even being executed before the user is even asked to install it on the Ask options page. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Because the checker detects if the toolbar should be offered in the first place. It does exactly what it says on the tin, 'check' stuff.
dbminter Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Plus, I've denied the installer check before in ZoneAlarm and the installer runs just fine.
