Thanks everybody, for your continuing feedback on TextPad.

Version 5.0.3 can be downloaded from here. Please see the release notes, for details of which issues have been addressed in this maintenance release.

As usual, there is no charge for existing customers to upgrade.

Hi Keith - at present only 5.0.2 is on the download page (checked and the file is 5.0.2 as well, rather than just the text)

Cheers,

Hi Keith,

On discovering 5.03 this morning I decided I'd better move up from 4.50, but I seem to have screwed up installing it. I thought I'd followed your instructions correctly
"Upgrading from TextPad 4.x:
Simply download and install it in its default folder."
even though I couldn't really see how that could work, given that the default offered is C:\Program Files\TextPad 5, yet my present version is in C:\Program Files\TextPad 4

Various messages came up, like
Error accessing 'C:\Documents and Settings\Terry Pinnell\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\5.0\CUSTOM.BND'
C:\Documents and Settings\Terry Pinnell\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\5.0\CUSTOM.BND was not found..

Error accessing 'C:\Program Files\TextPad 5\Samples\MACRO23.TPM'
C:\Program Files\TextPad 5\Samples\MACRO23.TPM was not found..
(and same for all my macros).
Ultimately I got an Unlicensed Copy displayed.

What's the cleanest way to undo any damage and install correctly please?

Best wishes,

More than four months later TextPad 5 is still only available in English. Are there plans to actually translate it?

Not sure what other chnages there were, but I wasn't keen on search results and command results appearing in a pane at the bottom - I much preferred them appearing among the rest of the documents - much easier for a quick scan through.

Did I miss the otpion for them to appear maximaised in the window?

Installing lost all my editing macro shortcuts - as it almost always seems to, despite my best attempts to follow the instructions!

I downlod the latest Textpad5.0.3 and getting the following error when i try install.

An error occured while downloading the file /WindowsInstaller-KB893803-x86.exe. What would you like to do?

I would appreciate if anybody help me to resolve this.

Please try to manually download and install the latest Windows Installer from Microsoft, and then install TextPad:

Thanks for quick help to resolve the installtion problems.
