Hello everyone,

Based on all the great feedback and log files we received we were able to track down and publish a build we're hoping will solve some of the issues you were all seeing.

How to get the new build?

1. Launch Web PI and it will prompt you to upgrade, click yes and the new version will be installed.

2. If you were experiencing issues getting the xml file (you could tell this by the fact that Web PI would just sit on the first screen with the progress bar and not go further) then you should install the new MSIs from below:

Issues addressed:

Accesing the xml file (mentioned above). We have now *hopefullly* addressed a majority of the cases where people were unable to access the xml file due to proxy issues.
When a download is unavailable we were showing an error message about the MD5 hash being incorrect. We have fixed this error message so we will tell you more information about why a download failed.
We should no longer show applications on XP Home or Vista Home since IIS is not available there.

If you are experiencing an issue not fixed by this build, please continue to report them and we will see if there are either workarounds or can fix in our next major release. Thanks again for the great feedback and let us know how this new build works for you!
