Installation problem "SmallInteger does not understand #isEmpty"

Hi all,

I just downloaded a Dolphin 5.1 trial and tried to install. When starting
the application with the "Fresh Install" shortcut (the other doesn't work)
and entering the serial number I get the following error:

MessageNotUnderstood: SmallInteger does not understand #isEmpty.

When clicking on OK, the application just quits. Tried with Standard and
Professional Edition, running on Win2000. Am I doing something wrong?

This is what is written to the file "Standard Edition (Fresh
Install).errors":

 From this walkback trace it seems that the system is having problems
accessing the system registry where it stores the Dolphin serial number (so
it can automatically retrieve it during subsequent fresh installs). I
suspect that the error being reported is incorrect (due to bug #1271 that
has recently been fixed in 5.1.1). What is most likely the problem is that
you are trying to run Dolphin while being logged on to Win2K as a user with
insufficient rights to modify the registry. Can you try boosting your user
rights to Power User or Administrator until you have completed the Fresh
Install process? After that point you should be able to run Dolphin while
logged on as any user.

It seems somewhat inconvenient that the Fresh Install can't be run without
enhanced rights so I've entered a bug report (#1292)  and we'll try and
address this issue in a future release.

Hi Andy,

Thank for your advice, I had to change rights in the registry directly to
get it running, all entries under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Object Arts"
had no rights for any user. I think I first tried installing with Standard
Edition Full install (DSESetup51.exe), but it failed somewhere while
installing files, aborting the installation process. Then I downloaded the
msi-installer and installed this way. Maybe the first file I downloaded was
corrupted in some way.

Regards,
Patrick
