[Mesquitelist] Mesquite installation problem

[Jay Fitzsimmons]

Dear Mesquite users,

I am having trouble with installations in Mesquite.  I just downloaded
version 2.75 (build 564) for Windows from the Mesquite website.  I had
previously been using version 2.74, whose folder I renamed to allow
2.75 installation.  The installation worked fine, but when I click
File > "Check now for notices/installs", and enter the Mesquite url, a
message pops up asking me to update to 2.75 build 566.  I guess the
latest build isn't the version in the Windows installer available on
the website.  So I click "Install" only to receive the error:

"Installation was UNSUCCESSFUL; Mesquite will attempt to restore any
previous versions"

This same error message pops up when I try to install the latest
version of PDAP.  I don't know why the installations are unsuccessful.
 I tried turning off my firewall control in case that was the problem,
but the error persisted.  Thank you in advance to anyone who has
advice on how I can successfully install the latest Mesquite build and
PDAP.

Operating system: Windows Vista 64-bit
Java version: 1.6.0_18

All the best,
Jay
