Hi uli, no objections if a patch runs a complete CRC-check first, before altering/installing anything else. ;) My Suggestion: would it be possible to enhance future SR-EXE installation-dialogs with a button/option to "check-file-only-w/o-installation"?? Just to launch+check it after a download or file-transfer/burn. This would be much appreciated!! As many others I usually download then burn/archive, but install only much later, mostly on a different PC. Thus I dislike to notice inconsistent, download-cropped or CRC-challenged EXE-files (esp on my archive-CDs) only during their installation. Then often having only slow/no Web-access or slow download-servers, just when I would need such a quite huge file asap again. You understand? Unfortunately, WinZIP8 cant open/check any Poser5 SR-EXE-files (I tried) and SR3-EXE does cancel itself with a complaint if Poser5 isnt installed (it isnt on my download-machine!). Sorry, cant add a result to this poll, just now. Cheers, Hubert
