Jim
Thanks Jim. I'm downloading it now.
I wish they included release notes with these updates.
Wish they'd drop Registered Owner a Msg about New Version
(or if this has been covered, Point me at it :-) )
Thanks for the Heads up Guys - Tom
oh there is?
cool thanks.
and i just found it by accident - grmpf.
shouldn't there at least be a sticky note with a short change log?
bb,
FLy
I downloaded the "latest"?? version (2.0d??) from my Xara store, installed it and ended back with version 2.0c
odd.........
Same here - the link from my account doesn't seem to have been updated and gave me the previous download version, but following the main "download trial" route from the Xara site gets you the latest version.
Jon
Aaah, righty ho, I'll give that a try then, thanks. :-)
Think I'll just have to wait for the cd, - tried that and that version only got as far as installation directory and then disappeared altogether (and that was after a bad uninstall on original - ah well, back to ver 2.0c .......
in the meantime here's a splashscreen i made whilst ruminating....
I have tried over the last eight hours to download a trial version of XaraXtreme.
Are the staff to busy pressing CDs to correct the failures of the download site, and the redirect site?
Harry W.
PS. Now that the GMT time has, belatedly, been corrected on the forum , may be the download site will now get the same treatment!
Hi all,
just upgraded from 2.0c to 2.0d. The whole process (downloading the 21.MB file from xara.com and downloading / installing XML4 plus GDI+) took me just 10 minutes!
Great work!

Lucky you!
Did you download from the "Download Trial" page or from "Your Account Page"?
Harry W.
I, too, am unable to download the latest version of XaraXtreme 2.0d DL.
I downloaded from the online account page (downloads xara.com) to find that that the version was the same that I had already on my system, version 2.0c DL – October 24 2005.
Trying from the Trial Page, (the download from Xara’s sister company, cconcepts.co.uk) either does not start to load or hangs at downloading page 1.
The alternative option “redirect.exe” (from stats.xaraonline.com) does not even load.
For Harry W.:
Directly from http://www.xara.com/downloads/xtreme/
"For Harry W.:

That is the "Download Trial Page".
I have just tried that again but with the same failure.
I am giving up trying and will have to forget this software.
Thanks anyway.
Harry W.
Strange, I downloaded and installed 2.0d without problems from trial page.
kindly,
ivan
I am glad to report that I got the newer version from the Trial page too...

Bill and Harry, what web browser are you using?
Bill mentioned that it hangs at downloading page 1, which is very strange for a binary download. The reference to page 1 seems to indicate that an ascii mode download is being attempted and that will stop prematurely at the first binary zero byte it receives.
Have either of you tried using Internet Explorer to download the installer?
I know many people "hate" Microsoft and their web browser, but if that is what it takes to get the download why not give it a try.
Having worked on the very early ARPANET segments, the things that many people take foregranted with the internet are still miraculous that they even work. There are billions and billions of things that can happen to a single packet in transit from origin to destination.
"Soquili
Bill and Harry, what web browser are you using?"
Internet Explorer 6.
After clicking the “Download” Button after inserting my e-mail address and country, I get a blank page with an url http://www.cconcepts.co.uk/downloads/XaraXtremeDL.exe shown in the browser address.
Nothing further happens.
Occassionally I get to the next page which states
"Your download should start automatically in a few seconds, but if it does not, you can download Xara Xtreme here. "
It does not start to download nor does it do so after clicking the "here" button.
I have tried the Netscape and Firefox browsers also but with no success.
Does Xara use different download sites for different parts of the world?
Harry W.
Not only did I not have a problem, but clicking the link in the above post starts a download.

Thanks for that.
I tried also clicking that link direct from my earlier post but all I get is a message "Done" in the task bar with a small square at the top left of the browser page. Nothing further develops.
I am not using a download manager.
Harry W.
How about right clicking the link and choosing "save target as"?
"jwhitham

I have tried that as well.
I have just tried it again ; clicking the "here" button link starts a download which stops after 1 sec with a download of a XaraXtreme DL.exe file of 374kb.
Harry W.
Which browser are you using ? Perhaps is that the problem. I use Mozilla 1.7.12 and all works fine for me.
kindly,
ivan
He posted earlier that he is using IE6, and so am I so, whilst it may be a browser setting, it's not the browser per se.Quote:

I cannot even guess why I am unable to obtain a download with my I/Explore 6; I have even restored the default settings in case something had been inadvertently set that prevented a download.
I have used I/Explorer to download other files just before, in between, and after, my many unsuccessful attempts to download XaraXtreme over the past two days.
Thanks to all for their help.
Harry W.
Harry, I'm glad you were able to get the download.
It is very strange that Opera was the only browser that worked. I'm beginning to think that it may be the settings on the server. In the past there were some problems downloading and if memory serves me it was due to throtteling on the server. Perhaps Antony will pop in and let us know for sure.
I downloaded the latest version with no problems. Disappointed to see it still doesn't remember the size of docked galleries except the layer gallery. I'd love to be able to have layer / font and fill galleries docked and at a sensible width when the application was opened. I thought this was fixed? I was also hoping that CMYK preview would be reinstated but that may be gone forever meaning that X1 remains the version of choice.

Downloaded latest dl version and can place bars and gallerys anywhere across two monters, anywhere on the page, around the edges, anywhere you like, shut down and open, all there where they were put.
Early downloads had this problem and I posted to the same and they (Xara team) seem to have fixed it.
Try another download, only a thought.
