VERSION 2.506 download error

[joe's jams]

I've been trying to download microstudio version 2.506 and since the computer that has it installed is not connected to the internet, I followed all the instructions for using a floppy (yes, I clicked on FINISH before removing the disc) and I got this error message-

RUNME.EXE-Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (OxcOOOOOO6)
Click on OK to terminite the application.

I then deleted the older version thinking the newer version wouldn't write over it. I tried differant floppy discs also, just in case I had a bad disc.

After going through this process a few times. (1) Installing from a CD. (2) Writing to a floppy and clicking on FINISH. (3) Putting the floppy into a computer connected to the internet. (4) Clicking on RUN ME. (5) Waiting about 4 to 5 minutes while it downloads.
Now I'm getting this error message-

The application has failed to start because WINHTTP.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I have no idea what to try next.

What version of Windows are you trying to run this program under? All of our software must have Windows 98 Second Edition, ME, 2000 or XP.

The software will not run under 98 First Edition or Windows 95.

Please make sure that your system is not one of these 2 operating systems, if so this is the reason for the problem.

Joe,

This error can also happens with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Please post back your Operating System with all current updates and service packs.

This is a common error caused by different configurations, especially with openGL applications.

Regards,

Jon

I am running Windows XP Home Version. As far as updates and service packs go, I don't know what they are. Please explain.

Joes Jams,
This is the problem, that the computer doesn't have all of the updates.

What you need to do is connect to the Internet, Click the Start Menu, Windows Updates. Once this page comes up, click the Scan for Updates link to the right hand side. Make sure to do all of the Updates as there are probably many if you have never done this before, and alot of them are critical ones for Security of your system.

Once you have finished all of these, please Retry the Installation.
