Of the feedback we get, one of the most often asked questions is what to do with a “corrupt archive” error. The generic answer to this would be: download the file again and retry. However, I have the suspicion that 7-Zip might create ZIP files which appear as corrupt to older unpackers. In this case downloading the file again won’t change anything …
For users having this particular problem I recommend you download our installer. Should, for some strange reason, this installer be downloaded and report a corruption, this really means a download error occurred. In this case downloading it again should really solve the problem. An alternative of downloading the installer would be to download an update of your packer/unpacker software from the vendor or use a free program such as 7-Zip.

Today I got a question from one of our users. As you might know it is often hard to imagine such questions for someone developing software, since developing naturally means you are very familiar with the system for which you write the software.
Therefore I am grateful for any hints what may be wrong with our software or where to add a hint how to use this or that. Here is the question:
This is on a Windows 98 […].
When I would try to open the program I would get a message that the file was too large for Notepad and would I like to open it with Wordpad. Responding YES I get pages of what looks like programing language.

Just wanted to collect some of the links to WinDirStat from bloggers (or similar sites) to send trackbacks to them and notify them of the existence of this blog 
Where there was an article, not just the link to us, I included it in the following list Continue reading ‘Links to WinDirStat … and back ;)’
In this blog the WinDirStat team is going to make announcements concerning WinDirStat releases (beta and non-beta) as well as raising issues and discussing with the WinDirStat user community.
If you want to be notified of new releases please subscribe to this mailing list. This mailing list has not seen any posts yet and will be very low-traffic.
Very likely I will soon create and announce another mailing list intended for beta testers. There will also be a beta tester website in future where the beta testers will find informations and downloads and can issue bug reports and so on.
