Whenever I download DROD Architect's edition and try to open the file, it tells me that the installer is corrupted... Help?

Are you downloading it from SourceForge or CaravelGames.com?

I downloaded it just now and ran the setup without problems. I would doublecheck the download. Get the file from here:

http://www.caravelgames.com/distfiles/cdrod1_6_6setup.exe

Choose "open" instead of "save as" to make sure you are installing with the file most recently downloaded.

Erm, while that's all fine and dandy, I would personally recommend going with the most recent file, which is the 1.6.7 version.

http://www.caravelgames.com/distfiles/CDROD1_6_7setup.exe

Same instructions apply as Erik's link, only mine is the most recent version.

Which reminds me, Erik. You still have 1.6.7 on DROD.net's download page, but 1.6.6 on CaravelGames' site. Consider this a friendly prod.

Well, you still do for a bit, which will hopefully be enough time for me to prod you to take care of all those site bugs that I pointed out a while ago.

Why? Simply because I don't want to be the one that has to fix my own bugs. I'm funny that way.

Yeah, yeah. I did change the contact page, because that one was a little critical. But this might be a good time to learn about FTP! Except you'll, er, never use it again. Hmm.

Aww...come on. You have the power for now. Think of it as a present to me. At least I *think* I deserve it...

And I think this dicussion has turned into "Wrong topic, wrong board, wrong time", so I'll move it to somewhere a bit more...private.

You'll note on the contact page I removed the bikini joke. Apparantly, Patrick didn't notice, because hoo boy I'm keeping this between me and me.

And now you have an obsession with pirate doubloons. I noticed, I looked the word up, and then I thought to myself "Jeepers, Matt must've got into the candy cabinet one night" and walked away.

Edit: And I'm sure you'll do something as amusing on your last update to the contact page.

I wasn't planning to, but good idea, Patrick!

I just wanted a more appropriate joke than bikini-clad women or bank account numbers. And I'll have you know it was the liquor cabinet.
