That's cool. You're getting my imagination going now.

I never get bored or tired of your orb wraps Lyle.

And thanks for the download link, and i think i found the setup problem.

[0BEC:01B0][2012-05-12T22:18:35]: Error 0x80070643: Failed to perform minor upgrade of MSI package.
[0BEC:01B0][2012-05-12T22:18:35]: Error 0x80070643: Failed to execute MSI package.
[0A54:00D0][2012-05-12T22:18:35]: Error 0x80070643: Failed to configure per-machine MSI package.
So i figured that the installer package needed to be updated.

So i downloaded the MSI file from thiis mirror locataion - Because of malware being found in SourceForge downloads, this link has been removed.

Installed it and i get the same error.

Weird.

Hey Rod; deleted my last dll zipped file since I went ahead and zipped the complete shebang directory. If you install the msi executable then copy everything over with this directory, maybe that will work (assuming installer registers the program and such so still have to install it).

edit: Weird that I can't open the zip file in explorer when I re-downloaded it from Ubuntuone; can open it in 7-zip though. Not sure how Ubuntuone changed the file which messes up the zip file in some sort of way. Strange. Just wanted to give you a heads up Rod. Hope you have 7-zip.

Sorry Lyle that didn't work either. I think my machine has decided to block it for some reason. :lol

Thanks for trying though.

It won't install for me for some reason. Shame, I'd love to get using it.

Instead of the msi, I did install the exe file in my XP VM and it did work. Did not include any dlls as I recall so I assumed it must have installed gtk for it to work (I've since deleted the VM since I do that quite often). Might try uninstalling the msi install then download and install the exe installer.

This is the error I'm getting.

Not sure how to answer your questions so passing David's (the creator of this software) email address (it's public record from Sourceforge so don't see an issue) and maybe he can help.

edit:

Changed my mind; don't like sharing email addresses at website; below's his Sourceforge profile where you can contact him easily.

Thanks Lyle, I'll get in contact.

Erisian that is the same error i got (with the exe setup) until i tried installing the MSI setup.Then it installed everything but didn't run.
Apparently that MSI needs to be updated on the creators end for it to work with new windows updates we have.
That's my guess anyways.
Also i would like to see the setup auto install into c:\program files\knot

The MSI installer requires all those DLL files that I mentioned earlier Rod. The EXE didn't (so assumed it must have installed gtk files necessary in the windows/system directory since they weren't in the main program files directory but again, I recovered my VM to an earlier point since all was lost and don't really want to install in in my XP VM again since it flickered my VM a lot and did finally crash it for whatever reason).
