[QUOTE="Luke, post: 1347711, member: 602"] I know exactly how it works, and I haven't made any further replies to your last e-mail, because I'm currently unable to make any further suggestions, based on what you've told me. The notes that you can't find are within 5 lines of where you downloaded the full install, and on the same line as where one gets the "update only". They read: Your reported error is one where you have a problem starting up, and the message is that a function in a DLL (which I create) cannot be found. Technically, I can tell you that I create that DLL, and I use the DLL. Hence the only way to get a mismatch as you reported is to apply an "update only" which gets the latest executable, but ends up trying to use a very different, old version of the troublesome DLL. Hence, my pointing you to the notes above. I realize that you claimed to have done the full install, and never applied the update smaller update. For that reason, I double and triple checked that nothing "old" had somehow crept into the full install. I tested by downloadeding the full install, from the website, onto different computers that had never had RPM installed before. It all worked. Not only that, but it seems to have worked for very many hundreds of people who have recently downloaded. Yes there were a handful that reported a similar problem, and it seems that all of them, hadn't noticed the instruction at the download area, regarding versions older than v4.2.0. To my knowledge, everyone, except for you, has fixed the problem by following the instructions for a full download. Given your difficulty in finding notes exactly at the place that you made the download, and that you've reorted an error that seems impossible given your claims about not applying an update, I'm currently stuck as to how to progress this issue. Seems like its just you. I don't wish to denigrate you (as you denigrated RPM and my understanding of my own program), but when you make a public comment creating the impression that you did, I think that it needs to be explained a bit better, publicly. Apologies to anyone reading for the public uselessness of this. I felt that Noretoc's aggressive and denigrating post required some explanation. I won't respond further to this issue publicly.
