The old installer was rather messy. The new wininstaller is much less messy but it is sadly not working for everyone. :| signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
[freenet-support] annoying problem
I have a weird and really annoying problem that goes as follows: I had .7 installed when the folder got deleted by accident. I then installed a new as darknet-- and all worked just fine, though two freenet entries now existed in the service listing (WinXP) Then a week or two ago it suddenly wouldn't connect. I then properly un-installed and went for a new install but then it wouldn't play along, saying freenet is already installed. The faulty listing got removed with "sc delete", yet the installer still complains. "to continue, you must first uinstall your current version using the previously created uninstaller" .. well, that doesn't exist anymore ~ folder deleted. Nothing Freenet exists anymore, so what the funk is it complaining about? How on earth am I to get Freenet back up and running? ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
