Empty message box.

[Betsey Monaco]

I have the same problem as this person describes. I use CopyFile many
times (in a loop) to put some files in place. On some systems, after a
few iterations of copying, I get the empty box with an OK button, and the
CopyFile function returns a -6 (Out of memory).
Another weird thing... it seems to only happen after the AskDestPath
function has been used. I wonder if this dialog hogs memory or something.

Has InstallShield made any kind of fix for this yet? I am using IS
5.5 MP3

Have you tried Delay(1) after each CopyFile call?

I don't think there will be further maintenance packs for IS5 (5.53 is the
latest). Current version is 6.20.
