Firek: So if you're still using the old one, <span class="bold">get the newest version here</span>.

KoolZoid: I'm definately using an old version (0.9.30 I think?). Why? Because the current version doesn't work for me at all.

And I don't mean that downloads hang, or even that it has problems connecting to my account. The program itself fails to run. I think it's been this way ever since the version switched to 3.xx - I download the new version, install it, run it, and I get the 'Gog.com Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close' error message.

Every. Time.

Every. Version.

So, since 0.9.30 works for me, I'd like to be able to stick with it. Well, ok, I'd *LIKE* to be able to figure out why the new version doesn't work for me at all.

For reference, in case anyone has any ideas that might help, I'm running WinXP SP3.
Please try uninstalling and reinstalling .NET Framework 3.5. Using the .NET Framework Cleanup Utility might help as well.

I have just uninstalled 3.5, reinstalled it, reapplied the updates from Microsoft, and....

Same thing happens. GOG Downloader fails to run.

If the Downloader created a logger.log file, please send it to me (I'll drop you my e-mail address in a PM). It can be found here:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\GOG.com
or
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\GOG.com
