Description:   Opened: 2000-08-15 16:18 
I was going to replace my existing copy of AbiWord by installing a newer
version
into the same directory, thus overwriting the old one. What I didn't realize
was
that my older version of AbiWord was running at the time. Half way through the
installation, the installer brought up an error message stating something like
"Attempt to write file '...\AbiWord.exe' failed." After I pressed Okay, the
installer continued. When it was finished it said "The software has been
successfully installed on your computer."

What it comes down to is that AbiWord didn't install successfully, but it told
me it did. I'm not sure if there are other ways to reproduce this bug.

The new installer does not handle this particularly gracefully 
but it handles it nonetheless
it give a write failure warning and you can then cancel the install.
