During the initial run, the configurator uses the Function: 
GetDiskFreeSpace to determine the free disk space. Is it that what is 
popping up? In that case what version of Windows dou you exactly have? 
According to the development guide this function should work:

Windows NT/2000 or later: Requires Windows NT 3.1 or later.
Windows 95/98/Me: Requires Windows 95 or later.

Nevertheless Freenet should work fine without the configuration program 
as well. Modify settings by manually editing the file Freenet.ini

I haven't. *I* don't want to make any seeds public where the owners 
haven't explicitely stated their willingness to do so to me. BTW, it 
shouldn't be the goal to gather as many references as possible in one 
file. One valid seed should be enough to connect you to freenet. The 
main goal should rather be to provide as many different references to 
new users as possible.

Although thinking about it, it could be nice to mirror the evilseed on 
freenetproject.org through some automatic mechanism. I am not going to 
implement something like this though (no capablities, no time).

There is noe IE plugin, if oyu double click on the Freenet icon you 
simply open a web browser based gateway to Freenet. This will open 
whatever you have defined as std browser for "http://"; links. It can 
be changed in your windows configuration.

Install another browser as your default browser, then.

I could retrieve files using the 1110 snapshot, so it should be doing 
fine. Seeds may be a problem, the default file is created dayly from the 
seeds in CVS, if you are running a permanent node, feel free to mail me 
your seed file to have it added to the list of public seed files.

Put the extracted node reference (on Windows automatically created and

Go to the system controls->Software and uninstall "Freenet". Otherwise

Nope, Zonealarm works on a per-app basis rather than on a port basis.

Yep, I know. One issue which remains seems to be that spaces in the
JavaExec path don't work with the CLASSPATH approach. We might need to
wrap it in ""'s. But I already said this in a previous mail.

Absolutely pure CVS code, even build in the CVS directory :). But as
David McNab already tested, even the -2 installer didn't work, so
hopefully it works with your updated Freenet.exe

That is what I thought as well. If it's crashing (and we lost the
updated source), let's fall back to the Java config. Your Freenet.exe
does it automatically if config.dll doesn't exist, so it is the easiest
thing in the world to do, right?

Mmh, can't wait too long unfortunately. At least we have to fix up the
hang on no Java found, the reverting to the first found entry on search
done and the long expected improvement of the registry reading.

Mmh, we had this error already a couple of times connected to spaces in
folder names. Dave, I can think of a possible error source now: Do we
wrap the Classpath variable in " " if there are spaces in the path? I
think we might need to do that the classpath variable might not allow
spaces? What do you think of this? Do you change it and give it a try,
or should I (I have very little time at the moment and can't do it

Neither can I (Win 98 and ME) that is really weird. But as
-cp/-classpath option does not work for all Java's we have to try to fix
it via the CLASSPATH variable.

:-) You are suspecting me of not using the latest code? :-) Actually, I
think what we should do is the following:

1) I lost the updated source code of config.dll due to hd crash, so we
need to continue from what we have in CVS
   (Dave would you provide a updated and noncrashing config.dll to CVS
if you haven't done it already?)
2) Put out a new release on Friday, with what we have in CVS right now
(I changed e.g. some small things in cfgclient and yes, they are in CVS
:-).
3) I am sorry but there will be no pre-release testing this way, but it
can't get worse at the moment, so we should just push out something ASAP
and see if the number of complaints decreases.
4) After that release, the very next thing we do is fixing Javafind

Yes, this tricky hack was introduced as it was the only possibility
throughout all Windows versions to optionally prefix the 'start' command
to run the DOS BOX minimzed. As this is not longer necessary we can get

Dave Hooper, are you reading this? There seem to be a lot of complaints
of people using Suns's Java (which mostly used to work).
I haven't heard back from you a couple of days now, as for suggestions
of the "Freenet is having problems" and "main class not found" problem.
I'd really like to release a bug fix version ASAP. I'd appreciate any
comments from you (or anyone) on the C version of freenet.exe, otherwise
I am going to release a bug fix version using my old Asm-freenet.exe as
long as we haven't fixed this.

Wow, I must have been drunk or something. It actually was missing. You can just copy

frequest.exe and everything will be fine again.

I put up a new installer under the same location which contains frequest.exe (although

Did the "gateway page" turn up in the browser anyway? You might want to download the 
0.3.9.1 
version of Freenet, besides some bugfixes it contains a new implementation of the
