Hmm, that's very strange. I haven't seen this reported before. This error comes from the installer .NSI script. The only things which should cause it are if the installer can't create the installation directory, or if it fails to copy one of the needed files (README, NodeConfig.exe,freenet-ext.jar, freenet-latest.jar or freenet.jar, Uninstall.exe) into it. Random ideas : check for any weird ACL's / permissions on the install dir, that you can manually create the dir and put stuff in it, if you're trying to install from an SMB share or suchlike do it from a local disk instead. It's possible to kludge around this error (copy all the "temporary" files manually to your desired install location, run NodeConfig.exe to generate a config, run freenet from the command line) but this is less than convenient and you would lose nice windows functionality like the system tray bunny :/ Bob
