Hi Glenn, Self flagellation is pretty much how I feel about using windows. If you can't install in windows 7/vista then I suggest you try as Ian said. Right click with shift on the installer and select to run as administrator. If ubuntu is the problem then just unzip the zip-file somewhere and run javapskmail.jar. You can also do that in windows if you have the usual windows issues, bluescreen errors and other common windows problems ;-). 73 de Per, sm0rwo lör 2012-06-23 klockan 10:37 -0400 skrev Glenn Roeser: > Hello Per, > I have both operating systems (Windows and Ubuntu) installed on each > computer.
