[Ldraw-content] Fwd: Re: [HelpDesk] Installation problem with LDaw Installer

[LDraw]

ahui,

though dan sad "The fact that it's an .exe vs a .zip is irrelevant." I 
zipped (with no relative or absolute paths) the version I downloaded in 
march (works fine) and uploaded it to the server. it can be found at:

http://www.ldraw.org/files/ldraw_setup_2006q1_full_i.zip

give it a try anyway. dan, if you feel that this is unnecessary 'cos the 
error is ahead in the installer itself please delete the file.
