Re: 0.94 WinXP Install Problem

[Bram Mertens <bram mertens sofico be>]

Hi

Did yo download the win32 installer
from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=16768&package_id=12881&release_id=262249
? The Download
dia-setup-0.94.zip  worked
without problems for me

The platform independent file you downloaded
contains the source code for the application which you'll have to compile
yourself.  I have no idea how this can be done on Windows.  the
INSTALL file you mentioned is simply a text file, if you'll open it with
notepad or some other text editor you'll see the compilation instructions.

I suspect the file you downloaded got
corrupt can you try to download the win32 installer again?

HTH

p.s. Fauti, Joel I'm CC'ing you because
this might apply to you as well.
