As I said in my original reply to the question, the WinBoard installer uses an old version of InstallShield that has some 16-bit components. (It does not use the Microsoft installer framework.) WinBoard itself, after it is installed, is indeed a 32-bit program, but that's not relevant to problems with the installer. If you look at the screenshot in the original question, it shows the WinBoard installer self-extracting and starting to run, along with the exact error message shown in the Microsoft article I referenced. -- Tim Mann [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tim-mann.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-XBoard mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-xboard
