You have an older sherpa.exe file (from beta1 or earlier) but this made me realize I had forgottten to uplaod a new version of it on yesterday evening! In order to test this verion which doesn't rely on mklink.exe, here are _all_ the steps you need to do: 1) follow the instruictions on http://win-builds.org/stable/ 2) download these two files http://notk.org/~adrien/sherpa-no-external-mklink.exe http://notk.org/~adrien/yypkg-no-external-mklink.exe 3) rename them and overwrite the "sherpa.exe" and "yypkg.exe" files which are in "win-builds-bundle-1.3-beta3.zip". Also, the specific error you get is because I've changed the metadata file format in an incompatible way before beta2. I wouldn't usually do that while in beta-stage but before beta2 to not have to change it for later releases. PS: the sherpa.exe and yypkg.exe will be emrged for the next release; if you compare the filesizes, you can already see they're mostly the same. -- Adrien Nader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
