the little loading gui pops up and gets to 'downloading patch.xml' then dies with the error.
i've tried re-installing obviously, and i don't think there's anything wrong with my .net install as i'm using .net fine for development.
anyone have any suggestions?
i can't see any obvious cause.
system is fully patched winxp sp1, no firewall, sophos av, no other restrictive software running.
