Weird...

Attempted at a volume check perlscript that was to do the following:

- Run locate for folder, then check matching foldrs for prerequisite
- OR Check standard assumed standard location folders specifically for
prerequisite (in case not in locate db)
- OR run find on whole drive (skipping things like /net that slow
things down) looking for folders.

When it's found, write prereq location to /tmp/installinfo and return 0
Return 1 if it's not found and the file is not written

Preflight script set to consider 1 failure (because that's the right
way to do it)

Here's the thing...

It's running the preflight script and returning successful in almost
no time, but the file is not written.
If I remove the slow find option, it works as it should, and if the
file is not found it returns failed and thus displays the "sorry"
message.

Any ideas anyone? It almost seems like the installer is timing out the
script after a second and *assuming it was successful*
Which is really $%&í up.
