Hi all,
My application preallocates a bunch of disk space to use as (among other
things) a storage arena for cached files fetched over the network. The user
can select the amount of disk space to reserve in megabytes at install
time. Right now they just get an obscure error in their event log if

Ahhh, the joys of SelfReg (and fixing someone else's code).

Far from a scientific measurement, but ignoring the ICE checks I'd say

I'm tempted to disable the ICE checks completely; the following

Yes, all of the Exit macros should log. That's why verbose log files are so

Can you run with -v and see which parts are the slowest. I often run with

I would be interested in finding out how anyone else does this.
Most Microsoft applications seem to be shipped on one language per
install, I would prefer not to do that as it seems unnecessary and the
sales guys hate the idea of creating lots of different product CDs.

Torch has been written by guys that think mostly in terms of patching.
Changing a ProductCode in a patch would be bad, I think they forgot about the
