I've just attempted to install the latest greatest software update from this same company.
It was downloaded as an iso image and burned to CD (never mind that it would've been quicker to drive/take a train to their offices, pick up a CD, and get back here than downloading the 400Mb+ of this release - and we're not talking about a company based in London or even the home counties here).
First I updated the client software. No problem. It complained it didn't like the server: no problem, that's next to be updated!
Except the server bit is screwed to high heaven with corrupt files all over the shop. Attempting to copy the whole lot to my local drive only highlighted even more corrupt files that my PC don't think are there. So now I have a client that won't talk to the server any more so there goes the rest of the day's planned development work.
(Never mind the reservations and gripes I have with this particular bit of software as a whole. I don't have a choice in the matter, we have clients who want us to interface with it so I have to work with it.)
(Sorry about the rant. I've spent the last few days banging my head against various people here with respect to this product and I'm getting very, very, annoyed.)
