With no freenet installed, I redownloaded the webinstaller & installation was nice and smooth. With freenet installed, I reran the webinstaller and it worked just fine, updated the jars from the net like it should. I reran the install one more time just to check what would happen, and this time it failed when I answered yes to the 'keep freenet.ini' dialog. I reran the install again, answered no to the 'keep freenet.ini' dialog, and the download failed. Reran twice more and it worked fine. I was going to suggest that the installer fails when it detects the exact same version of freenet, but that seems not to be the case. I've always hated the windows tcp/ip stack, it's always been like old chocolate - flaky but just at the edge of where you can sense it. But it's never failed when I install on a fresh system, so maybe if the worst comes to it you can include a retry/reinitialise loop to try 3 times or somesuch.
