I don't know if that's a problem of the current installer exe file or of

your system - but you can easily install EAGLE without using the

installer itself. Simply rename the file to .zip and then unpack the

contents to your desired target directory. At least you can use it then,

even if the current installer maybe broken.

P.S. When posting screenshots, do not use JPEG format - instead use

PNG or GIF (eventually with reduced colors), the files are much smaller

and lack those compression artefacts.

I note that this is an Element14 post with an attachment. Looks as if

repairs are being made.

I downloaded and unziped into a folder Eagle on the Desktop.

I did not see any install or setup files or even an exe file.

Archive.pax.gz is the only  large file in the folder.  How do I open that in Windows XP?

Thanks

Is this the file you started with? or where did you get the file from?

It seems you may have downloaded a version for a different OS.

Yes, that is the file and it came from Cadsoft

Try downloading it again.

Maybe there have been å problem with the link the minute you downloaded it?

The extracted file looks like the Mac version.

If that doesnt work, please post the full download link you use.
