Hi Bartosz, I've installed WinHugs many times on many computers with complete success. I'd check for two things: 1) Redownload the file, in case it got cut off half way through. 2) Check you have sufficient disk space. If its still broken after that, let me know.

I have redownloaded the file using a different browser, to make sure it wasn't cached. I have plenty of disk space. I think the problem might be that I'm using Vista 64-bit. Has the installation program been tested on that platform? Bartosz

No, it hasn't - and that is likely to be the cause of the problem. I recommend renaming the .exe as .zip, then using a program such a WinZip to extract the files. You won't get shortcuts generated, but it should install just fine. Thanks Neil

I get this problem on windows 7 and yes, it's a privilege problem. With this OS the solution is to install the program as administrator (right click on the icon and run as admin)

The error message contains a full path to the missing file: c:\Program Files (x86)\WinHugs\docs\hugs98.chm . I don't even see the directory WinHugs there. It could be a problem of the installer not having enough privileges on Vista. I don't have problems installing other programs though.
