    Webshots desktop will not install
    « on: January 15, 2009, 04:04:06 PM »
    I have tried to install webshots desktop on my new computer and cannot do it.
    I get the following screens:
     
    1. Please wait while webshots checks your system for previously installed componants.

    2. a short time after this begins to run an error comes up that says:
    An error has occurred and we must quit. Below that the message is
    "Installer must quit."
    No remedies can be found. As a free user, I cannot get any help from them.

    As webshots on my old computer is the heart and soul of my picture programs, I really need it on the new one.

    FYI: I have c-cleaner and reg-cure installed

      In what i have seen over the years Webshots is a poorly written program.

      I've been using Webshots for numbers of years, never had a problem. I'm using 3.0.0.7229 version, and I can see, it's at 3.1.3.7504 version now. However, over last couple of days I saw reports from 3 people already about some problems.
      If anyone interested, ver. 3.0.0.7243 can be downloaded from here: http://webshots-desktop.10001downloads.com/

        Used your link and tried to download and got a "Cannot access this webpage" message. I'm afraid these dowloads have been removed.

          I think I got the wrong link

          it opened a chrome window (odd, since I don't have chrome) and it said, "Transferring account contents to Broni..."

          and then, "Transfer Complete"

          then, it said, "pilfering account activity... "

          and lastly, "complete. have a nice (and cheap) day."
          I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

            Well, I got the Webshots 3.0.0.7231 to download to my machine. The next problem  is that nothing in my "webshots Data" folder will transfer into the program. I've opened the contents folder and tried to drag the pictures into the open desktop but it rejects them as not being the right file. Webshots instructions DO NOT WORK. any more ideas out there?

            You can't just drag them, you have to import them.

              That is what I've tried. There is a "collections" folder in my "my documents"
              that contains all my pictures. When I try to select it for import using your suggested method and select my documents, the folder "collections" does not appear. only the webshots data folder. I tried importing that and I get an error message and it closes.
