We're getting reports that the freewire IPTV client on Windows Vista is encouraging people to upgrade to the latest version (2.1.2.0) - and then failing to work with the following error message:
The problem seems to only affect some Windows Vista users.
We have found a (temporary) workaround. The "freewire lite" client doesn't seem to show the same problems, although it is missing some of the features of the full version of the client. So if there's something you desperately need to watch tonight, that may be an option.
You may like to contact the freewire helpdesk yourself. Contact information for the freewire helpdesk can be found on their website: http://freewiretv.com/helpdesk.html
We'll update this post as and when we get more information from freewire.
Update 4pm: Freewire confirm that they have seen other cases of this and their engineers are investigating. It seems to affect some but not all Vista users.
