Never heard of the wrapper error before, but nevertheless out of my hands. He really should try the beta though, as both errors might be related to the custom user we create atm. The beta is generally much more sane in terms of system permissions. The main issue blocking a release is policy of updating current installations. I could use your comments on that thread. Atm. I lean towards porting update.cmd to real code (Juiceman suggested that he might learn AHK (in which case I can give a hand of course)). (I've just moved halfway across the country, so I will be busy moving in for the next week or so and not have any time for Freenet. I'll keep participating in the discussions on this list though.) - Zero3
