1. Euphoria Installer want to be.

Hello all,
Friday Night I submitted a GUI for a possible Euphoria installation Utility.
Rob made mention that if there was to be an installer written in Euphoria
that it would have to be well tested on all Windows Platforms and equipment.
I need you all to try a GUI out and get back to me with any info you might
want to share.
Basically I just need the O/S info, maybe processor speed/type or whatever.
"what you think"
The whole process I think will be interesting because I want this GUI to share
the same File I/O routines that make up the old Euphoria installer because its
already been tested to work well. This left a Win GUI to be done and I think
Ive came up with something thats easy to understand and follow. The good
news is the program will (when finished) automatically look at a system to
determine if this is going to be a Windows or Dos installation or if the users
Windows version has an incompatability it will drop the install to DOS.
I have thought about this very hard but I need your help right now with the GUI.
I would like for you to comment on what you see, the program flow
(not the code flow, the visual flow). The graphics used and mouse/keyboard
functionality. I know this is alot to ask and I will very much appreciate your
effort
in testing.

I shoudlve mentioned this....
I wrote it at the top of EuSup.exw
--Default Install and Continue buttons (only)
--are disabled because there isnt any formal I/O material in this *YET.
All of the other buttons should function to navigate around
When Default Install or Continue are clicked on, this will fire up the File I/O
that doesnt exist just yet..

Hey again,
Please read the comments I left at the top of EuSup.exw
here is another topic from EuSup.exw
--USAGE:
--The tab key shifts control focus within the tabitems
--and F-keys shift the tabitems F5 - F8
--otherwise the mouse should work real well.
Also, you can click and drag the whole program window aorund the screen
and it should not flicker very much if any (that is if your not inside a child
control)
Clicking on the tabitems changes tabs aswell as the icons on the right do.
and ofcourse, the door icon EXITS the program.
You should not be able start multiple instances of the program because of
a Thread Mutex.
Also, if you have a comctl32.dll version that is older than 4.70 then you should
recieve
a message box stating that an incompatible .dll has been found.
I think that about covers it.
