Hey... I was having a lot of trouble installing this on Windows 7 64 bit --- kept getting a ton of error messages and stuff. I'm pretty computer illeterate so I was about to ask for help here, but I'm glad to say I figured it out and now I actually got that big purple game grid on my screen! Woohoo!

I firest tried installing it in the Dink Smallwood folder and that didn't work. So I installed it in the "C Programs x86" area... the "x86" is where Windows 7 sticks all of the non-Microsoft programs. It then asked for permission to install and I clicked "Continue" and it installed.

I then created a file name for my test at map making and at first it couldn't find the skeleton thingy, so I just looked in C Programs x86 to get the exact address of the skeleton thing it wanted. Copy & pasted that address into the box and it seems to be working ok... I hope it can find the sprites ok and the other stuff....

Yeah, it stuck each item from the zip file (Windink, the skeleton one and the others) in a seperate folder under the C Programs x86. Is that OK?

Or should I try reinstalling it some other way? Please let me know.
