It's easier to convert a path to short filenames than it is to see if the path contains any spaces or path components with longer than 8.3 characters and conditionally wrap it in quotes. I could always wrap it in quotes, of course, but from my experience with other installer-builders (most notably Wise) converting to short filenames is the most bullet proof. > What do you do if someone installs the file to an UNC path in the > network?

This suggests the installer isn't running NodeConfig.exe after installation. It ought to do this, it may be that I missed that part out when I ported to the modern ui. I'll have a look and put it in if it's missing. > when opening the config tool (to get seed nodes) i noticed you could > hide the java window there as well (or use javaw.)

However, one > without clicks would be nice.) The UpdateSnapshot link points to the local copy of freenet-webinstall.exe. They are one and the same, and they should be, too. An 'automatic download' installation mode and a corresponding command-line switch to freenet-webinstall.exe would make things smoother I think. NB - I seem to be having problems with freenetproject.org/snapshots. Anyone have any ideas? If I use WinSCP to transfer the file, and then transfer it back, I get back the same file I uploaded, however the file I get from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet.exe doesn't match. freenet-webinstall.exe doesn't seem to be affected, only freenet.exe. Could it be a problem with the web server, or am I missing some flag for the files I upload? Perhaps files are being uploaded as ASCII rather than binary? d _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
