It would be a simple thing to include it in a windows build. (or at least it seemed simple enough for tinman to make a mac version)   I would do it myself if i knew anything about coding.

No new features.

Anyone else seeing an installation completion freeze? Have you tried exercising extreme patience? (a very dangerous card game)

yeah, maybe there is a freezing installer after all. Not on my PC but I just read a message from one on the WCS team members about a not-working TBP installer. I am trying to get confirmation, hang on.

Well no point me being grumpy about it. Let's see if we can get confirmation of a problem. At which point the ball is back in Hip's park again.

Well, if the issue hit more people, then yes, maybe a problem with the installer, but since no one else seems to be having the issue, then no it's not the installer, maybe someone got a corrupted download or something. And please remember that the progess bar moves only when a file is extracted not as each megabyte is extracted, when a large file is extracting, the progress SEEMS to freeze, but is not actually frozen (we have been over this before actually). Even if I did re-build the installer, this person would most likely have exactly the same issue. So no, I will NOT rebuild the installer over one guy saying his installer freezes, either the download is corrupt or he is not waiting long enough. Try re-downloading or waiting longer.

Note that the DVD installer is different, the progress bar will give you an megabyte to megabyte progression rather that a by file progression, so people may want to grab the DVD (when released) if they don't like the web installer for whatever reasons.

Actually you can get off your high horse because I agree with you completely. :P

I want confirmation there is a problem before a rebuild. That means a considerable percentage of the people using the installer reporting a problem. Oh and in order to establish a percentage people have to report when the installer works!.

We could seriously do with some more feedback in this thread. I may post a thread about this later.

I've done about 8 installs now of the latest version on 5 different computers and 2 of the latest DVD installer with no problems.  Last problem was the corrupted DVD file but that has been fixed.  You know that if I ran into a problem you would have heard from me in about 10 seconds.

TBP split along modding and FREDding lines a while back. Personally I think it was a very good idea. The modding team have now pretty much finished and called it a day. Anyone who wants to FRED now has everything (official) that they're going to get. :)

Installer worked great, no probs at all.

And so far, the game itself works like a charm (though I haven't played a lot yet..)

Awesome work, btw :nod::yes:
