A repeatable; but transient installation issue was noted this evening with the windows installer.
It would appear that the .jar files posted to the freenetproject website were broken for some duration; possibly due to the nightly rebuild. This resulting in an error similar to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=421228&group_id=978 &atid=100978 (which is out of date and should be closed if anyone is able -- suggest closing with something along the lines of installation has significatly changed from a year ago) In the time taken to pull the CVS source for the windows install and do some poking around; and then deciding to re-run the install program to copy down the exact error --- the error was magically resolved and became non repeatable (was repeatable 3 times in a row; then suddenly not..) Suggest three things: 1) Close the bug in sourceforge; avoid people thinking that it is an unresolved bug from a year ago.. 2) Post on the website / in the install program that if the installation fails to try again in a few hrs.. 3) Look at the .jar build / post routines .. is there something that can be done to avoid having broken jar(s) posted while they are rebuilt? My analysis could be totally off .. as I didn't think things would suddenly change on me; so I didn't keep proper notes!! For the original person noting the issue; the windows installer is still 'broken' ; but he also notes that he cannot de-jar the freenet.jar file with jar xf freenet.jar (gets a message java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry size (expected 2638 but got 530 bytes) ) -- I am guessing a caching proxy between the person and the web ; although that cannot be conclusively verified..
