Unable to install Direct FTP v 6.5 -...

I get an error message - unable to create directory.
I had installed the beta version and that worked fine.
I d/led the current version and have the above problem.
Unfortunately, the installer did manage to remove the beta version before halting, so I don't have the use of that either.
At least I still have v 6.2

Could you please provide a bit more info, such as:
Which OS are you running?
Admin rights or not?
Did you try to install DFTP to its default location or not?
When it halted, what exactly happened?
The DFTP installs into a folder named DirectFTP-6.5.4 (possibly not the last 4) inside the CoffeeCup Software folder, which again is inside Program Files. Have you got the DirectFTP folder already from the Beta version? If not, have you tried creating it manually?

Thanks Inger - sorted!
It was a directory problem - I found I had 2 (empty)dftp folders - 6.5.2 & 6.5.3
I don't know how they were generated, unless with the beta version, but I deleted them both & the prog installed without any problems

Good that it wasn't anything worse than that. :) Those folders were probably created by earlier betas, yes.
