 Windows Script 5.5 Beta 1 ships!

Check it out now - the Funk Soul Script Engines:

(You may need to refresh your browser).



Unfortunately, documentation is lacking at this stage, but it should be up
soon. I'll be paying special attention to the news groups over the next few
weeks to try and answer any questions.

If you are currently running Windows 2000, you will probably not be able to
install the files, but you can simply extract them to a new directory and
register them with regsvr32.exe. A Windows 2000-enabled setup should be
available soon.

Thanks, and enjoy!

Peter

Hi,

Windows 2000 has a new feature called "System File Protection", which means
that it won't let you install copies of the core OS files (such as Internet
Explorer and the Script Engines). This is to help improve stability - a lot
of problems with Windows applications are caused because application ABC
overwrites a system DLL needed by application XYZ with an older (or even
newer) version, and XYZ no longer works.

We have to get a special setup package enabled that is signed with the
Windows 2000 Digital Signature in order to install onto Windows 2000. Note
that this only affects system files - files shipped on the Windows 2000
CD-ROM - and not to third party applications in general.

You can always extract the two files to another directory and manually
register them with regsvr32.exe

Why would you want to install IE 5.01 on Windows 2000 - that is the version
that ships with Windows 2000! :-)

Please can someone briefly describe me what is problem with installing
certain products (as IE 5.01 and this beta) on Windows 2000?

I would like to install RC2 on my new machine used for software development
(Visual Studio, MSDN and Office 97)

Do you think we visit that often...  now that's hopeful.

This is a standard windows complaint, but can you not sign these programs so
we don't get the do you want to install xxx, the publisher could not be
determined message security warning, it'd only take a couple of minutes
surely.

Well... you never know. 5.1 was released a couple of days ago!

Hmmm.... that package has not been signed at all. I never got that message,
and none of the testers mentioned it.

I'll check it out and see.
