Web Designer 7.1 update

**webmaster** · 20 September 2011, 09:29 AM

We’ve released a 7.1 update for Xara Web Designer 7 and Xara Web Designer 7 Premium. Version 7.1.2.18332.

Updating Web Designer 7 / Web Designer 7 Premium

To update your installation, use the "Update program" facility in the program Help menu. You need to have unlocked AND registered your program for this option work. If you haven’t, when you invoke the update option you’ll be shown the unlock/register dialog again. Make sure you register using the same email address that you used to purchase the program, because each serial number can only be registered to one email address.

The 7.1 update includes the following changes compared to 7.0.4:

Many snapping improvements, including snapping with Selector Tool scaling.
Now 'Paste size' resizes each individual selected object to the target size, rather than making the whole selection the target size.
Updated AVI export options dialog with transparent background option (Premium only).
Cut/copy/paste of whole pages.
New movie player, which includes full screen option.
Option to choose whether an inserted movie starts automatically or not.
Various program bug-fixes.
Design Gallery template fixes.
Help updates.

Many thanks

Xara Team

Having problems updating version 7.1.0.17125 DL. I get the message that "7.1.1.17261 (0 MBytes)" is available followed by an alert box from MXUpdater.exe that "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running". I'm using W7 Pro 64 bit.

Does the update include the latest tweakset or do we need to reinstall it?

I am getting the same message as gpholman on trying to download the up-date for WD7. The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows your running.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. Do I have to pay for an up-grade in Windows 7 to get up-dates for the WD7P?

No ... honest ... I didn't. I suspect the reason for that message is a corrupted download. You should remove it and start again, disabling temporarily anti-virus and firewall during download and installation

Mike I think you have confused Designer Pro 7 with Web Designer Premium 7.

No up date for the Pro version.

Sorry I'm having a problem since my update to 7.1. When updating my sites I get "failed to change directory". Looks like it has an issue with "index_html_files". When uploading manually with an ftp agent, i have no problems. Seems like a bug in the update. Oh, I've tried the suggestion with adapting the registery but I didn't help a bit. Hope the technos can get this straithend out asap.
