I have run check-cd.cmd from the cd. It dies with exception code 0005
just after SNAP\VERSION.TXT. SNAP is the last subdirectory on the CD
with two files after it: STARTUP.CMD and WHATSNEW.TXT
This has happened with two different CDs in 3 different drives on 2
systems.

Is there a better way to do this? will a MD5 sum of the burnt CD work?
