Hello.
I've created an installer that works great, however it sometimes fails to copy correctly all the files. As there are a lot of them (10's of thousands), it's rather hard to check them all.
I would have like to know if there was some way to check it automatically, a bit like a hash checksum, but with location included.
Thanks in advance.

I would assume file size of the folder would be a hint. I would find it rather difficult for the corrupted files to somehow remain exact size even though modified. You could store a list of files and its CRC32 checksums (much faster than MD5) and it should not take an extensive amount of time, it is more reliable. Adler-32 is an even faster option, however may be less widely implemented.
