I've tried to download rw1090.exe 3 times and rw1081.exe once onto a Windows XP from the UK mirrors (I've tried both of them). When the download is complete and I double-click on the icon I get an error message telling me the set-up files are corrupted and to obtain a new copy of the program. I have spent quite a lot of time checking the message archives but I can't find a solution. If anyone else has one I would really appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you.

If anyone else has one I would really appreciate it if you could let me know.I'd get rw1091.exe instead, and probably try a different mirror, or a different machine to do the downloads. Those are both old releases, and we'd have heard long ago if all of the mirrors had corrupted copies: so there's something wrong with the exact procedure you're using. For instance, there may be issues in the way the UK mirror communicates with your particular machine. Trying a different mirror or a different machine could solve either of these. Or there may be problems with a proxy server running at your site. Trying a different mirror might help with this. Or there may be a bug in whatever version of the web browser you're using. Trying a different machine might get you a different browser. I can't think of anything else to try. Duncan Murdoch
