Try to download from start page. I can download 404 error only, not Opera.

Question: Are these fixes included in the latest 9.5 alpha build?

"Fixed an issue where external news readers and e-mail clients could be used to execute arbitrary code"

Why would I use one of those

Thanks!

@Jesus: kestrel is an alpha release (just for testers), meanwhile 9.24 is an estable one

If you use Opera every day, it's recommended to use the 9.24

Turin # Thursday, October 18, 2007 6:03:39 AM

@Sushubh

I would highly recommended against installing that way.

john.perkins # Thursday, October 18, 2007 2:38:04 PM

Version 9.24 appears to handle the demands of

http//arsmc.org/documents/gatewayentry.xml

for XML, XSLT, header links, rendering time, etc better than any version of Opera so far.

Jesús # Friday, October 19, 2007 3:19:21 AM

@ suribe: Thanks for your coments

, really I dunno many bout "programing", but, I want to learn

, but, I´m not ready as tester right now. Ok, I will do the change to 9.24, and yip, I only use IE7 for my Messenger account, but if Opera have an option like to open the e-mail of MSN, sure I will use Opera 100 %.

TNX: Suribe.

Well, I still can't install it. :-( Anyone can help me?

I got Windows XP now. I got Opera since 8.x or even 7.x installed on virtual drive O: (O:\Opera\). The drive is result of SUBST instruction, that links C:\Programy\ with it. And (almost – see below) never got any problems coresponding to that virtual (SUBST-ed) drive. But the installer of THIS Opera version, says:

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/1156/operantfsfe0.png

…but I got admin privileges, and I am owner of this directory. Well, I see this second time; some Opera's builds ago, there was the same bug. If I remember correctly, I soluted it, by moving Opera to a directory on FAT-32 drive, and links SUBST drive O: to that one. No way here:

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/7950/operafat32xv0.png

What is going on…? What rights? On a FAT-32 drive?! For folder, that the installer creates itself? Paranoia…

I'm out of ideas. Why the other people got no errors? Hey folks, are You making a clean install every time? Or what… :-|

Oh, and by the way: the installer ending message is a bullshit, when installation fails like this. First paragraph says, the installation failed, but the last one, the installation ends with success ane let user press a button to quit installer.
________

EDIT:
OK, the Classic Installer did the trick. So, I don't need *help* anymore, but I leave question about MSI open.

The Mac version is crashing left and right here. I've sent a bunch of crash reports with Smart Crash Reporter. I think it's somehow related to Flash, but I may be misreading the logs here.

Gonzalo Arrechegrilix # Monday, October 22, 2007 8:31:00 PM

Plz update that: http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/next/ , it still say: "For your everyday browsing, please continue to use 9.23, the latest version of Opera's free and award-winning browser."

Good job, i love opera

Turin # Monday, October 22, 2007 9:54:19 PM

@boxhead

Start a thread in the Macintosh forum. It would receive more attention there than here

Hello
I have been very pleased with OperaMail until this version. This is the second time to of my mailboxes go crazy. They ask for the password all the time, but don't accept it. It is the correct one of course, but Opera is still going on and asking for password, and don't connect to the mailserver. I have to jump to 9.5 beta and hopefully it,s better...

SuezanneC Baskervillesuezanne # Friday, December 14, 2007 8:30:17 AM

I am starting to be able to remember the version number of Opera I'm using, like 9681, for example. I must be a bit of an Opera fan.
