Hey Trev,
Perhaps because it is not the officially sanctioned or supported installation method ...
Hummm, never thought of it from that angle. Thanks, Trev, for giving me another perspective that I was lacking!!
... and has, from time to time, its own bugs, all of which makes determining what is going wrong when a user rocks up saying installation failed more difficult. In the past I have had the issue of making sense of failed MacPorts and FPCUpDeluxe installs which was not fun especially when users attempted multiple installs.
Yeap, I get it now. Thanks again, Trev, for a third person's view that I wasn't experienced with.
Since I've been using
fpcudeluxe I've had a few problems, of course, but they were never something I wasn't able to solve.
Well, if you consider the extreme case of deleting the folder and starting all over again a solution.
So, very wrongly, I've been assuming that my experience with it has been the same across the board, which I should know, by now, is a cognitive bias and I should avoid it. Yeah, thems are the worst to avoid
Nonetheless,
fpcupdeluxe is still a very good tool to have on your arsenal, even if it's a pain to help with around here, so I'll continue recommending it and I apologise for any future trouble shooting some of use will have to endure.
What you think Trev, is that okay with you?
Cheers,
Gus
