An installation issue

I downloaded a few moments ago (twice - to be sure) the FTN95 PE, 8.61 from

https://silverfrost.com/32/ftn95/ftn95_personal_edition.aspx

and tried to install it. Installation was not possible, since I got immediately the error message:

ShellExecuteEx failed; code 67. The network name cannot be found.

Does the problem belongs to my PC or something is not correct with the installer ftn95_personal.exe?

I am not sure, I downloaded several other software packages, made several updates to them (including Windows 10 updates) - all problem free. Even, I have a download from Silverfrost (FTN v8.61 PE) from March 2020, I can install it problem free!

A few days ago I manually updated some DLL´s and PLATO as published by Paul and after these updates I downloaded and tried to install this new FTN95 download (over the top of the existing one from March 2020). I suspect - it could be a problem.

So - the question is: Should I un-install the March 2020 installation first and then try to install the yesterday´s download? Is in the yesterday´s download of FTN95 ALL updates included (including PLATO v5.3.0) as were published in the UPDATES by Paul, or - when I install this new (yesterday´s download) pack, should I manually update the DLLs and PLATO v5.3.0 again?

John,

I solved this issue. It was (more or less) as I suspected. I un-installed the FTN95/Plato v8.61 from March 2020 and then re-installed yesterday´s download (problem free) and then I copied the new DLLs and PLATO v5.3.0.

I did it (yesterday´s download) because I thought that there will be contained the new PLATO (v5.3.0) and maybe FTNv8.62.

The reason for it was that when I updated from PLATO v5.2.0 to v5.3.0, PLATO v5.3.0 repeatedly says me the following: cannot find definition for MODULE MSWIN (I use the command USE MSWIN). I believe it is because of v8.61 and PLATO 5.3.0 should use v8.62.

Apart from this message, I can compile, link and run the executable problem free.

Thanks!

Martin
