Hello,

Just downloaded the package manager tonight and I too have problems, also I am running vista 64. The error message I get when trying to install a new package is the usual 3 lines pls "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Have tried to install 2 packages same error each time. Any ideas

Did you have the old one installed beforehand ? have you tried doing it manually and making sure you are using the mk2 version ?

This only happens when it is installing from Setup.exe if you run the rpk file directly this fixes that particular problem. :wink:
I always install from the rpk, and if it is from a developer like GR i always go into the relevant folder afterwards and run the rpk file from there, works every time. Oh yes and i am running 64 bit Vista schmista too.
