Ok, I had VDM installed on my comp for a while now and I went to reinstall it using AMVapp 3.0 and it gave me an error. I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it using 3.0 and 2.1, both gave me the same error. It says something about being unable to open the install file to install.

Im ready to kill my comp unless I get some help on this.

you could always get the .exe and use it as a standalone program
yeah, that link is the .zip...but it has the .exe in it

Doesnt work that way either. Gives me that it encountered a problem and cant open.

does anything for vdubmod show up on your add/remove programs list?
have you tried cleaning your registry since you uninstalled?

I can't really think of much else that would prevent installation
all other programs are closed right?
maybe try restarting too...

Frankly speaking, VDub (and it's forks) don't need installing - the AMVapp does, but VDubMod doesn't. All it does is copy the right files to the intended directory that was set up.

Taking the all inclusive package from VDubMod's Sourceforge page and unpacking it to its own directory should work just fine. If you want to replace the main exe in that package with the bugfix (if the bugfix isn't now included instead, that is), then that's fine, but VDubMod isn't an installer-type program, just an unpack-and-run type.

For an unknown reason VDM requires to be run with administrator rights to work correctly.
