Installer problems

[Hamelin]

Would it be possible to get a stand-alone installer? I've tried installing the program five times now and the download has failed every time. It's a bit frustrating.

Thanks.

Hamelin,

I'm sorry it's not working for you. I'm using Microsoft's ClickOnce installer which seems to be causing problems for a number of people.

I'm working on releasing a version of Universe Sandbox with a more traditional installer in the next few days.

Thanks for your interest.

I've just posted a version of Universe Sandbox that uses a stand-alone installer.

Please let me know if you have any more problems.

I am having the same problem.  I download the setup.exe.  It tries to download the actual program but usually fails around 10-20%.  Highest I got it was 55%.

I did not see a link to a direct installation on that page.  Could you provide a direct link too it?

[Dan Dixon]

It's there... Please try refreshing the page.

I get the following error, using either installer:

The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)

That specific error message may mean that .NET is not installed. The ClickOnce installer should do this automatically, but it's worth testing.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

I installed .net and tried again. I no longer get the 0xc0000135 error but the program hangs while loading. I tried to send the error reports but when I hit 'send' they also hang. I don't know...there's a multitude of possible issues with my computer so it could be anything.

Could you send me your log files manually?
