that's what happens if you don't have the ms .net framework installed (it could give a more informative error, couldn't it?)... i just installed it, plus patch, and it's not that bad - nothing got messed up, nothing extra runs on startup or at random intervals. it seems to have done less damage than the sun java environment that i had to install to run limewire did...

overnet, however, i'm not so impressed with (but then i suppose i never liked edonkey2000, so i'm biased). the network itself is almost as good as fasttrack (even at this early stage) with the added bonus of the hash links allowing sites like sharereactor.

but the ui is horrible as ever.

incidentally, to block ads in overnet -

- go to its folder
- open the 1.html, 2.html and 3.html files in notepad
- delete everything from all three
- save
- set their file attributes to read-only in explorer

and that's that.

hashing times seem better than with edonkey. it hasn't crashed yet. i really want to like it.. but.. ick. maybe if someone does a decent skin i'll consider running overnet more.
