Error when trying to install DVDshrink....

[rubberman]

I downloaded DVDshrink3.0 beta5 and unzipped it. When i click on the icon i get the following error message window:

"DVDshriink 3 has caused an error in <unknown> DVDshrink will now close."

I have recieved this error when i downloaded a while back. how can i fix this problem? thanks

Is that a DVD Shrink error message or a Windows error message?

In either case, I know that people don't like expensive solutions, but you should consider trying Windows XP instead of ME and, better yet, a newer computer.

Hi there!

Sounds like a crappy download....
Maybe you should download DVDShrink (from a reliable source) again and give it another shot.

Good Luck!

this is the 2nd download. but i guess i will try again.

Also try using the free program End It All 2 to close down all unnecessary processes then run the DVD Shrink Installer.

i downloaded dvdshrink 2.3 and get the same exact error messgae. I currently have dvdshrink 1.03 installed from whenever that came out and works fine.

Use DVDShrink 3.0 b5,they fixed the Win9x/Me problems.Delete all other versions first and go to Explorer->Windows->Application Data and delete DVDShrink folder,then go to Registry and search for DVDShrink and delete.

i deleted all dvdshrink files. Downloaded dvdshrink 3 B5 and still get the same error.

Do you get the same error if you run End It All 2? How about just starting your computer in safe mode and installing DVD shrink?
