Re: TortoiseSVN crashes

Hi Stefan,

I'm very sorry for this inconvenience! This is very new problem to us
(version was released on Friday). In this build we included the initial
support for Windows Vista. That means XML manifest with the
"trustInfo" and "requestedPrivileges" section. Unfortunately it
looks there is some problem in Windows XP PE loader:

We are testing each build on W95, W98, NT4, W2K, XP, and now on Vista,
but we didn't see this. I'm working on solution right now.

Workaround:
Download http://www.altap.cz/upload/remove.rar (6KB)
unpack it to Servant Salamander 2.5 RC2\remove directory,
and run it. This is an old (working) version of the uninstaller.

Regading non-ascii characters: our file manager isn't unicode application.
The only solution is configure "Language for non-Unicode programs" in the
Windows XP. More information:
