Unfortunately I can't replicate the problem here, what I would suggest is that you have a try of one of the earlier versions which are 32 bit (1.5.0) or even a much earlier .net version (1.4.5) from here: http://mirror.viperfang.net/silentdevelopments/Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064894451633576098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19430664.post-4938394270731446432011-03-09T03:30:26.502+00:002011-03-09T03:30:26.502+00:00I have installed the 64 bit version on a notebook ...I have installed the 64 bit version on a notebook running Server 2008 R2 x64 and it crashes after reporting that Aeroglass is disabled.

If it is a problem with that profile it could be in displaying the name and one way to find out would be to rename the profile if you have a few minutes?<br /><br />BenjaminBenjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064894451633576098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19430664.post-38375367029963320502010-12-16T03:09:02.263+00:002010-12-16T03:09:02.263+00:00One thing I've found. . .

All I can work out is that it's something to do with NSIS (i.e. a bug in the installer creator software itself to do with the installer name conflicting with the Aerofoil.exe file name inside the installer). Next time I do an update* for Aerofoil I'll use an updated version of NSIS Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064894451633576098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19430664.post-32826152238786517402010-12-01T20:32:22.828+00:002010-12-01T20:32:22.828+00:00I found a bug on the installer.
