[cosmic-users] Broken MSI package for CoSMIC 0.5.7 beta download?

[Sumant Tambe]

Hi Friedhelm,

I would rather suggest you to use the CoSMIC 0.5.7 beta version as it 
has many more enhanced features than 0.4.8 version. People have 
installed it successfully in the past. I would be interested in knowing:

* Windows version including service pack
* version of GME, and
* whether you have administrator rights on your machine

I would take a look at how we can add a md5 checksum of the installer on 
the webpage.

Thanks,

Sumant.
