Hi Nath, Firstly I would like to welcome you here among other Rebolers! (I didn't thought you will geve even a try to download and install Rebol after my long email full of nice words about Rebol:-)) Anyway, your problems are very strange. I have installed Rebol/View on many Systems without problems. Please try to download the ltest experimental version(View 1.2.8) from here:
http://www.sweb.cz/fractalus/view1208031.zip Maybe few hints come to my mind: -don't use same directory for install as the dir from you are running the rebol.exe file as the installer just copy the same exe file so there could be a problem with overwriting the file(installer) you are running -try to install it to the default path offered by installer (this should work for 100% IMO) regards, Cyphre ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nath" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 29, 2003 4:46 PM Subject: [REBOL] Re: Installation Help > > Thanks for the replies thus far. > > For starters, I am on the admin account, so I shouldn't be locked out of > installing files. > > Secondly, I downloaded the view-pro031.zip file and am using that to install > it.
