Flare 5.0.1 update
Flare 5.0.1 update
Hi there,
I've just run Flare and been invited to update to 5.0.1. First of all, some praise for Madcap - awesome user experience, as the popup tells me the patch addresses an issue I had, and I was told about it automatically, and could seamlessly download from there. great!
My issue is that the download location is "http://madcap.vo.llnwd.net/o1/flare050- ... V5_SP1.exe" and as a result i'm a little nervous of running the .exe, because llnwd.net looks anything but official.
Can anyone official-ish please confirm that this is the correct download?
Thanks
Owen

llwnd.net is the hosting provider of MadCap. When you go to http://www.llnwd.net/ you can read more about them. All the MadCap downloads came from that place since I can remember.

Actually that link doesn't work for me - and there's nothing in the kb for 5.01 where you have the other release notes.NealPozner wrote:Release notes are available at http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/default_CSH.htm#GEN1024F

Re: Flare 5.0.1 update
Hmmm, works just fine for me and there I find a table of items plainly labeled Flare 5.0.1. Some time warp, perhaps?Dave Lee wrote:Actually that link doesn't work for me - and there's nothing in the kb for 5.01 where you have the other release notes.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Try the search (bottom left of the browser window) ... search for "5.0.1" ... voilà !Dave Lee wrote:Actually that link doesn't work for me - and there's nothing in the kb for 5.01 where you have the other release notes.NealPozner wrote:Release notes are available at http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/default_CSH.htm#GEN1024F

Something is definitely warped - that link doesn't work on my work PC (in any browser, with caches cleared), but it does on my home PC.Nita Beck wrote:Hmmm, works just fine for me and there I find a table of items plainly labeled Flare 5.0.1.

Older CSH links work fine, but not that one.

Didn't you have a problem like this last release too, Dave?

Last time the kb WebHelp didn't work at all for about 4 months, all I could see were blank white panes.
