Hi,

I use Audacity on Windows XP. I was attempting to install 1.3.10 over 1.3.9 and got some odd error messages

In the directory ... Audacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode)helpmanualskinscommon (and also ... monobook) the installer tried to convert the the pre-exisiting files commonprint.css and iefixes.js to directories and create files called (respectively) 207.css and 207 in those directories, with the file contents being apparently what was in the files that it wanted to convert to directories.

I have just ignored the error messages and left the old versions of the files unchanged.

Find the folder C:Program FilesAudacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode)help and delete it (the "help" folder). Then install Audacity 1.3.10 again.
The developers are aware of this issue (I reported it this morning).
