I should have mentioned that it doesn't over-write anything, and that it
needs to be unpacked into the 'tuxpaint' parent directory, or somewhere
else and the files moved in manually.

Thanks for testing it bill!

That's the message we get with the latest builds, which is interesting,
but just muddies the water further :-(

Is that with the final release version of Tux Paint 0.9.16 installed ?

There could be something nasty going on in one of the four new DLLs
(0.9.16 seems to work fine with the new MinGW/MSYS) but that wouldn't
explain the problem with 'fluid'.

I've checked, and it's crashing before it gets into main(), hence that
unusual error-box.

It works fine on all my machines: 2xWin98 boxes, Win2K and WinXP Pro
SP2,
