RE: rebase for setup (curl)


One more follow-up:

I'm not sure what I did, however I tried it while logged in as an
administrative user on my Win2K box (where all this started). It built
re-basable.

So, I tried again while logged in as a non-admin (same test as I ran
nearer the start of this thread). But this time, it builds re-basable!

Don't have any idea at all why it didn't work before but now it does.
Not sure if I care, unless it happens again. I will make every effort to
verify re-basability before releasing new versions, just in case this
crops up again...

Thanks for your help,
--Kevin

Well, I'm no closer to understanding why it didn't work on my Win2k box
at work. However, at home on my WinXP-pro box, it builds re-basable with
no difference in how I did it.

The only thing I can think of is that on my Win2k box, I don't usually
log in as an administrator; on my WinXP box, I also don't, but I did
while I ran this test...

I'll give it a try as an administrative account on Win2k and see if that
makes any difference - if so I'll let you all know.

Of course, you can expect my next curl package update to be built on my
WinXP box ;-) They're testing a new release now, so it should be within
a couple weeks.
