    try running it as administrator, and make sure you have the microsoft .net framework installed.

    no, it is a set of libraries used by programmers to make their lives easier (i.e instead of having to write code to do common tasks, they can just make a call to a library in the framework, where the code to do that task already exists).

    I have exactly the same problem as gohanssj2a99. The premium downloader just won't start. I tried all the steps as described above, but unfortunately I cannot get it to work.

    Could it be because I have Vista Home Premium SP1?

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Re: Premium downloader HELP!!! SOLVED!!

    I finally looked at the NDSDNR.settings file and saw that it had messed up my user name. On the settings page you cant see the first character, so I input it again...
    the settings file shows a double letter. Fixing it here and in the program did NOT work, so I dumped everything and downloaded the program again. This time I only
    input the correct user name and password (it doesn't show the first letter of the user name) but it WORKS!
    I still doesn't take the changes I made to where to put them, but I can live with that)

    That's slightly weird, I haven't managed to reproduce that and my name even starts with an S as well. Try to delete the settings file and have it regenerated again, that might fix all the errors.

    Erased it, then opened the app. had to input all again, still can't see the first letter of the user name, but it works as before.
    It downloads to the downloader folder - indicated that it has extracted it (but doesn't) says finished.

    But really this is better than the manual way I caught up while the downloader wasn't working at all. It took hours to catch up with the #'s
