Hi
I'm rebuilding my PC. I'm up to the point where I'm re-installing TextPad when I get this error.
An error occurred while downloading the file /WindowsInstaler-KB89380-x8.exe. What would you like to do? RETRY CANCEL
Pressing RETRY repeats the message. Pressing CANCEL gives me the following message.
InstallSheild: 1155: File D:\Install2008\TextPad\instmsi30.exe not found OK
I downloaded a fresh copy of txpeng520.exe and I get the same message.
I use Microsoft Windows XP Home SP2. I haven't installed an antivirus program yet. And I turned off the Windows Firewall on a guess. Same error.
Any ideas?

Re: Textpad won't install
One more thing I should add. On a hunch I tried to install Textpad 473 and that installed perfectly.Ryck wrote:Hi

I don't know what could be going on.
Please try to manually download and install the latest Windows Installer from Microsoft, and then install TextPad:

I hope this helps.

An instance of Textpad starts for no reason...
Thx,
after installing the updated installer, I could install Textpad, but with a difference....
Now every time, I log IN, an instance of Textpad starts (with a new/ empty document), for no reason.
1. A shortcut to textpad does not exist in the 'All Programs --> Startup'
2. There is no entry for Textpad, under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
any clues?

Re the three registry folders, RUN, etc. did you check both CURRENT_USER and LOCAL_MACHINE branches?
Also, try to do a full Search for TextPad in the registry and review all instances, not just the obvious ones you identified.
Also try free utility ProcessViewer ( www.prcview.com ), that has a View/AutoRun option that shows all StartUps, the executable command line, and the trigger source. I believe that the current version is 5.2.15.1 I. I have used this for years, highly recommend it for this and other purposes.
