Great! What about the problems you mentioned in your previous mail? (I just replied to those in another message) > > The bad: > Wrapper.conf seems to not get an update from wizard mode.

A reboot after > the wizard install does not. We already have a couple of bugs reported in that area. You probably hit one of them: https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=2500 https://bugs.freenetproject.org/view.php?id=2573 > > The unfortunate: > The installer does not see existing 64 bit java installs under the > Vista OS.

As previously mentioned: Does anyone know how to handle this 32-bit vs. 64-bit stuff? What to do?
