Hm, a few months back I had trouble installing upgrades for BreezeBrowserPro (the Ghost installer got into a loop trying to open itself over and over). With the change to a new computer - and a completely clean install of everything - this problem seemed to have been gone.

It's back, now for [b]DownloaderPro[/i]:

Downloaded DP 1.7, double-clicked the installer (which, of course, was in my DP directory). It asked me if I want to Uninstall or Repair/Upgrade. Naturally I chose the second option. And, poof, the Ghost installer's start screen came up, and again, and again, and again - looped.

A look into the Windows Task Manager showed that one copy was open and a second getting opened then closed again. It also showed that the installer called wasn't DLPRO170.EXE, which I had double-clicked, but the older 170BETA.

After some hassle to get the loop broken I removed the older EXE, tried it again, was asked for the BETA.EXE.

Finally I did what I did before, uninstall first, then install afresh.

Perhaps we could try to investigate this a bit more, it cannot be just my vibes ...

I'm sorry but I don't know what to suggest other than to uninstall each time before reinstalling. I can't reproduce the problem on my system and I haven't received any other reports of this problem.

It appears there has been an update to the installer app and I will use this for future releases. Hopefully it will fix the problems installing on your system.

Interestingly it is on two quite different systems, both using Windows XP granted.

What gets me is that the newer versions (of your installers) call the older version. The loop then generated is easier to explain (whenever the installer gets called it again calls itself), but why does 170 call 170beta?

The first system (my notebook) had a heavily maintained registry, the second (my new desktop) has a fairly typical registry, which I haven't touched yet.
