Installation Problems with 520

Post by Andy K »

Hey all, big fan of TextPad for years now, a lot of us use it at work.

OK, so my issue: I recently reimaged my laptop, and for some reason I can't install a new copy of 5.20. I downloaded each and every version of txpeng520.exe individually, but when I double-click, I get:

"Installshield: An error occurred while downloading the file /WindowsInstaller-KBB93803-x86.exe. What would you like to do?" (Retry/Cancel). Retrying does nothing.

I've got a standard WinXP system. I tried downloading the 4.73 version ot Textpad, and it can install with no problem it seems. Was the 5.20 exe recently changed perhaps? I can't figure out why 4.73 has no problems, while the 5.20 seems to be looking for another extractable exe file...

When I hit cancel, I get an InstallShield box:
1155: File C:\Docu(path to the location of the file)\instmsi30.exe not found. Of course, this is not the name of the file available for download.

Thanks!

Ahh, I think I found the issue after an extended Google search on the second part of the error:

Downloading and installing fix now. At least this might help the next person, anyway.
