I’ve had various reports of problems with users of Windows XP with ASDL modems that WebbIE 3 doesn’t start up. Also, Google search is broken. I’ve seized the opportunity to tell people who’ve mailed me to use the new WebbIE 4<\/a> instead, and that’s confirmed to me (after a bit of bugfixing) that it’s working and pretty much there.<\/p>\n

I’ve therefore decided to push ahead with the official release of WebbIE 4, and with it the other new .Net-version programs – PDF Reader, BBC iPlayer Radio, and BBC Live Radio. I’ve removed all of these from the WebbIE MSI installer file that used to contain every program. I’ll continue to distribute this so the people can get the remaining programs, until I either convert then to .Net or build separate installers.<\/p>\n

The front page of WebbIE<\/a> therefore lists separate installers for the new .Net programs – WebbIE,<\/a> PDF Reader,<\/a> BBC iPlayer Radio<\/a> and BBC Live Radio<\/a> – and links to the updated MSI that still contains Podcatcher, Clock, Calendar, and RSS News Reader. I’ve also left the old WebbIE 3 installer still on the page.<\/p>\n

A reminder of the advantages of the new .Net programs:<\/p>\n
