If you click the link and the download opens in WinZip,WinRar, Stuffit or similar, this is not correct.  This has been caused by a security feature of XP SP2.  Use another browser, such as Firefox or save the download to disk.  The download will be incorrectly named ExtraInstall.jar.zip.  Rename this back to ExtraInstall.jar and then double click on it.  You can not install this package using WinZip, etc.

If you click the link and get a screen of random characters instead of the download, Netscape needs to be updated.  Firefox and IE both work correctly.

Several people have contacted me regarding using these tools with non English versions of Elements 2. It appears that the major difference between these versions and the English version of Elements 2 is that Adobe have translated the names of their directories. My package will install into the correct directories for Swedish, French and German. Unfortunately as I only speak English all of the actual text is in English. If anyone would like to provide a translated version of these tools, I would be happy to assist with the technical details.

No other version of Elements has this problem as they use the English directory names.


Thanks to Claude Vié http://cvie.free.fr for assistance with the French version

Thanks to Hans-Dieter Stich http://www.bluerock.de/download, Markus Baeumler and Max Gordon for their assistance with the German version.

Thanks to Max Zomborszki for assistance with the Swedish version.
