00:49:10 <GordCaswell> JohnTHaller: Do you already have the blender update built?
00:49:15 <JohnTHaller> nope
00:49:36 <pa_1805> When I try to install a portable app like Skype UTorrent in the middle of downloading it give me an Error "The installer was unable to download skype" What do I do?
00:50:01 <JohnTHaller> Are you in a location where you are blocked from downloading from skype.com?
00:50:23 <pa_1805> Nope im a home.
00:50:32 <pa_1805> Im using a windows 7.
00:50:45 <JohnTHaller> Any software firewall install that could be blocking the installer from connecting to the net?
00:53:25 <pa_1805> No, i have disabled my windows firewal, but it did not help?
00:54:08 <JohnTHaller> What is the exact error message? It should be longer than what you quoted.
00:54:29 <JohnTHaller> Something like: The installer was unable to download Skype. The installation of the portable app will be incomplete without it. Please try installing again. (ERROR: $DOWNLOADRESULT)
00:54:37 <JohnTHaller> (the last bit is the important part)
00:55:42 <pa_1805> The last part only says (ERROR: SendRequest Error)
00:55:53 <JohnTHaller> Yeah, that means it was blocked.
00:56:46 <pa_1805> Any Ideas, im using a home network
00:56:58 <JohnTHaller> brb
00:59:51 <JohnTHaller> Can you download this? http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_5.9.0.114.msi

01:03:21 *** pa_1805 has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds)
01:04:30 <pa_2660> JohnTHaller: Yes it downloaded, but ii have skype allready installed, so, (stupid question) could that interfere with it?
01:05:27 <JohnTHaller> You can place that file in the same directory as the SkypePortable....paf.exe installer and it'll use it
01:05:54 <JohnTHaller> Having local Skype installed doesn't affect it. Something is blocking it from downloading. What antivirus do you have?
01:06:34 <pa_2660> Microsoft security essentails
01:07:04 <JohnTHaller> Yeah, I know that doesn't interfere with it. I use it.
01:07:42 <JohnTHaller> Can you fire up Internet Explorer and ensure you can download the Skype msi file through that too? IE uses the Windows network settings just like the PA.c Installer does.
01:10:46 <pa_2660> ohhhh, haha nope i cant
01:10:48 <pa_2660> BUT
01:11:49 <pa_2660> My internet settings were set for my proxy!
01:11:59 <pa_2660> that im not using right now
01:12:07 <JohnTHaller> Ah, that'll do it
01:12:24 <JohnTHaller> Just set it to direct connect and the PA.c installers should work fine.
01:13:11 <pa_2660> Yep, installed perfecly, THANKS!!!
01:13:18 <JohnTHaller> You're welcome :)

02:01:12 <pa_6574> help! with jportable launcher running in windows 7
02:01:38 <GordCaswell> pa_6574: what can we help with?
02:02:10 <pa_6574> keep getting "Failed to load Main-class manifest attribute from C:\whatever.jar"
02:02:24 <pa_6574> when i drag whatever,jar onto the launcher
02:02:48 <pa_6574> what am i doing wrong?
02:03:14 <GordCaswell> can you provide an example jar file?
02:04:19 <pa_6574> yeah, i tried this file http://www.michaelmorrison.com/content/henway
02:05:49 <pa_6574> the jportable launcher says "when it is run, it will prompt you to select a JAR file to run. It can also be run directly by dragging and dropping a JAR file onto the JavaPortableLauncher.exe file"
02:06:01 <GordCaswell> the only download that's there is an exe in the zip file...are you trying to drag that onto the launcher?
02:06:14 <pa_6574> i selected the henway.jar inside the zip file
02:06:42 <GordCaswell> there was no henway.jar in the download you linked to, just a .mid file and an exe
02:06:50 <pa_6574> it gave me the error above "Failed to load Main-class manifest attribute from C:\henway.jar"
02:08:24 <GordCaswell> that likely means that there is an error in the jar itself. See here: http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/31339-failed-load-main-class-manifest-attribute.html
02:09:09 <pa_6574> sorry, it is this one http://www.michaelmorrison.com/content/henway-mobile (mobile version)
02:10:55 <GordCaswell> yeah, it's missing the manifest information, my guess is that it's not need for a mobile platform, so isn't included by the publisher, since it's meant for running on a phone, not a computer
02:11:16 <pa_6574> oh. i see. thanks a bunch
02:11:25 <GordCaswell> you're welcome
