Everytime i try to install kbg archiver, i get the following message::

There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete cannot be run. I installed .net framework4.0 but it also didnt solved my problem.

i have successfully installed this program in my PC(windows xp sp3), but it is not installing in my laptop(windows vista).

please provide me with detailed information.

Best to keep .NET 4.0 installed, some programs use it.

:ohwell:

It goes without saying that you should install SP2 and all of the subsequent updates. It's available by using the built-in Windows Update function.

Note that this will take a lot of bandwidth, which might matter depending on your ISP tarriff. Regardless, you need to get those updates on there for your programs to work properly and to close security holes (it's got lots the way it is now). Also, be sure to install all the latest .NET updates too.

I'll bet money that after you do this, you can install the KGB spy software on your PC without any problems.

Yeah, install the updates first. Doing anything else is a waste of time.

hey... i found while decompressing a file of 64kb(originally 640mb) that it requires 16 hours to decompress... i have 2gb ram installed on my processor "genuine inter(R) CPU T2300@1.66GHz 1.67GHz". is it usually take such a long time?

Nothing (except for maybe all zeros,) can be compressed that much.
