When I try to install latest Opera thru Argo on a PC that has Opera installed alaready, it gives me an installation window that has:
1. Repair
2. Uninstall

So even tho I'm running opera installer thru Argo it still sees Opera installed in the system and thus won't allow me to install Opera on my pen drive. It would be great if anybody could have a look into this :)


P.S. Latest opera here: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it has to do with Opera using an .msi installer, and ceedo +argo not fully supporting .msi installers yet.

Good point, that's probably the reason. I mean, Opera indeed uses an msi.

In that case, dear dev's, please have a look at MSI support since many programs use msi.

You can download not-msi version from here: http://snapshot.opera.com/windows/o921w_8776.exe

Yeah, I got that one as soon as exire brought up the msi issue. But still, I really do think that msi files should work properly as well, since there are quite a few programs that are msi-only :)

Yeah, we really do... ;) I'm hoping I will finally be able to install iTunes now. Last time I tried I got a VB runtime 6.0 error :D

Hello all,
We are aware of the MSI issue and are hard at work here at Ceedo on msi support and msi and extended application support is planned for the near future.
