Xara Xtreme and Xara Xtreme Pro 5.1.2 update

[Soquili]

The MAGIX support site is not accessable with my Xara account username and password. However, it is accessable using my MAGIX account username and password.

Unless a person has purchased direct from MAGIX I doubt they would have access to the support site and the downloads.

Thanks Bill, it is as I surmised.

I have contacted Xara for further information regarding the differences between Xara and MAGIX in regards to the way updates are made available to their customers.
Stay tuned for an update (pun intended

very clever and smart of you but is it really necessary to show off?
Bad form.

Given that you have basically turned this forum into TalkSledger.com, I think that is a bit rich!

Daniel, I've participated in this forum a lot longer than sledger has. I have yet to see him show off. What I have seen is Steve's extensive volunteer efforts to support other users. I'm extremely grateful to him, to Bill, to Egg and to Gary for all their contributions to this community.

Around here, we're about community support. Showboating isn't part of the agenda.

(Meanwhile back at the ranch)

I'm having the same problem as Squeaky, I'm on Windows 7 and just get the same blank white box anyone found a fix?

Sorted!
Left it for 10 mins, hit esc key, the blank window then turned into a "please wait window", left that for 5 mins hit enter, it started to download the file, I then got a "path not found" error, clicked OK, it then started the download again and installed the file. Very odd, but working fine.

Guys, i just wanted you all to know that i finally got my update installed.

Here's what i had to do...

ONE: since the installer was telling me it couldn't complete/apply the update for me due to my "current language selection", i checked a couple things out.

ONE-a: i reInstalled XX5 to see if it gave me an option to select a language... it did not.
ONE-b: i checked my system language and it was set to ENGLISH (Canadian). On a whim, i changed this to ENGLISH (American).

Low and behold, the installer completed its task, finally.

This tells me then that the installer does not recognize the ENGLISH (Canadian) language setting in Win7. This may be something worth the developers of these installer apps looking into. It should only be looking for ENGLISH... not a select 'version' of English.

Hope this helps anyone else having this issue.

l8r folks.

Mark...

Thanks for the update Mark I have made reference to this post to Xara.

With reference to Soquili #31 and sledger #32 I have never bought software directly from Magix, and I started buying from Xara when they were still Computer Concepts and Xara was still Artworks for RISC OS. However Xara did send me a username and password for Magix in March 2007 which does allow direct access to the download for 5.1.2 update for the CD version only.

Luka, have you installed your Xtreme 5 from the CD?
You can only update the CD version.
