  Try deleting your Opera folder. This helped for me.

  I have retested the MSI for Windows 7, Vista, and XP. They all installed fine. I am not normally a Windows tester, so I am not sure what to suggest. Please use the Classic installer instead, if you experience problems with the MSI.

• Muhammad Ubaid raza30. August 2010, 19:40

  Yes... Classic installer works fine...

• Kyle Baker30. August 2010, 19:40

  CORE-30829 (Overlayed dialogs can be covered by plug-ins)

  
  I only recently noticed this one. Glad to see its fixed already!

  Confirmed... Problem is since last 2 builds...

  Sorry Daniel, I skip this one, because the classic installer is English only W7x64

  Please be more specific when reporting problems. For example, describe the exact nature of the problem, how it's different from what you would expect, and the specific steps needed to recreate the problem.

  yup this is true as well. On win 7 64 bit just after pressing Install, this window is shown http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/9152/msibroken.jpg

• Martin30. August 2010, 20:02

  MSI installer IS broken on Win7 x64. and Also confirme weird file save dialog on win7, looks old, really old.
  
  MSI installer starts, and stops almost instantly saying that nothing was modified.

• asfaltas30. August 2010, 20:02

  Win7x64.

• Dustin Wilson30. August 2010, 20:04

  Nice set of changes for the Mac. Thanks, guys. A fix on DSK-309866 is especially appreciated.
  
  I'm having difficulty selecting text on this page. It seems to be specific to here. I can't click and drag to select text, but I can double-click to select blocks of text and use the Command-A shortcut to select all of it. Mac OS X 10.6 Opera 10.70 b9036.

• Dierk Haasis30. August 2010, 20:05

  It suffices to delete the old EXE; I guess there's some mismatch between build numbers, like, the new one reporting an older one than the installed one.
  
  PS: the developers should also take a look at the MSI start screen, there's some misplaced text [PLACEHOLDER still standing].

• Jimmy Tsatsos30. August 2010, 20:06

  The MSI installer is broken for me too. (Installation was done over snapshot 9034, after selecting the language the InstallShield Wizard is shown normally but after clicking on Next and I Agree it shows that the installation completed successfully, but Opera wasn't installed at all)
  
  Windows 7 x64

• BecDeXorbin30. August 2010, 20:17

  Clicking middle mouse button once and then scrolling, scrolling stops after a while, usually almost immediately. I remeber this bug from few years ago, so this is a regression.

  Where I also can not be obtained, even though I left an enthusiastic greeting, my joy was short.
  
  Windows 7,CPU Intel 2000GHz Core 2 Duo (Sony VGN-C190P), RAM-1.5GB
  
  Will test the classic installer, and will share his opinion.

• c.walker30. August 2010, 20:21

  MSI installer worked for me on XP, but I did install over 3488.
  
  Also, just noticed that I can't highlight text in the comment box.

• Kyle Baker30. August 2010, 20:23

  Deb x86_64 packages appear to be corrupt..
  

  dpkg: unable to read filedescriptor flags for <package status and progress file descriptor>: Bad file descriptor

• Kertesz Laszlo30. August 2010, 20:24

  The mail account select crash is still present (at least in the Linux builds).

• 13.beta230. August 2010, 20:24

  No fixes in win-build at all
  
  middle-click scrolling - not working
  https + user js - not working
  blank start-bar - not fixed
  wrong fonts on <H*> elements - not fixed
  no line endings after js copy-paste
  
  I don't even tell about bugs introduced many years ago. Im very sad

• koimark30. August 2010, 20:27

  I can confirm problem with MSI-installer (Win 7 x64) - and also that problem is with opera.exe. Renaming opera.exe to operaold.exe solved problem and installation was successful.

• Diamond0074430. August 2010, 20:28

  This version of Opera MSI installer with error(s). Windows Classic installer is normal.
  
  Sorry for bad english

  The text above the comment box is CSS generated content, so you are not supposed to be able to select it.

  About CORE-30829 (Overlayed dialogs can be covered by plug-ins). I think it's related. Go to http://www.radiozet.pl/externals/online-player/kanal_rock.html
  
  This is how it looks:

• rseiler30. August 2010, 20:36

  With no specific mention of a fix for the "Mouse navigation buttons not working" regression, does that mean it wasn't fixed? On the one hand, I don't think you're in the habit of describing every single thing that was fixed, but on the other you did mention one of the other regressions as being fixed.

  Installer launches fine, does the normal extracting, etc... options all work fine... but when you click "I Agree" which would normally start the main install and begin backup/copying/replacing, it just flashes the dialog quickly, and continues to the "Completed" dialog.

  Confirmed as well (still using 9034)

  That is temporarily selectable till mouse-up, ie: behaves normally.
  
  However the text >here< that you type in, isn't selectable.
  

• Daniel Aleksandersen30. August 2010, 20:39

  The list of regressions in each blog post contains bugs that appeared in this build. It will be updated for some time until we release a new snapshot, and start the process over.

  Oh, in the textarea! I will look into that. Thank you for clarifying.
  
  Update: I introduced a work around in the blog’s stylesheet and reported the appropriate bug as CORE-32361. Thank you for letting us know about this bug.

  Confirmed also on a 3486 build. Anyway, I can select text using shift

• Jiří Hruška30. August 2010, 20:53

  Regarding the Win7 x64 installer bug -
  
  The action IsUpgradingOlderThan95() inside your custom DLL fails because of a hard crash here. It's caused by VerQueryValueA(..., "\\StringFileInfo\\040904E4\\ProductName", ...) not returning any value. When I looked at the installed Opera.exe from the previous build, it had StringFileInfo block for locale "040904B0" instead. After patching that during installation from "04E4" to "04B0", it ran fine.
  
  Finally, the version info resource in the newly installed snapshot is 040904B0, so this nonsense will happen again with the next build. Unless someone fixes it, that is :P

• Pastor David30. August 2010, 20:53

  Ok the installer works fine, as soon as you delete the Opera folder in Programs. But why bother, this is still not working:
  
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zvCUmeoHpw&html5=True
  
  So we can conclude that Opera no longer is supporting HTML5. What gives with this?

• elyon30. August 2010, 20:54

  Thanks for the new build!
  
  Unfortunately, it still crashes if you compose a new email, but change the sender to another one of your accounts

  Check you're gstreamer directory, it was missing in the build before.
  If so, just copy it from you're stable build

• Kertesz Laszlo30. August 2010, 21:02

  It works on Linux. And its multi-threaded...

• Tiago Joao Silva30. August 2010, 21:03

  Thank you for the fix for the "slow text bug" - I was waiting from some mention of a bug# on the changelog. I can't test today (at home I have 10.5 Leopard) but tomorrow I'll test it at work.

• Vredley30. August 2010, 21:08

  The "Select author mode > Select user mode" keyboard shortcut seems to have disappeared. 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.

• BottleField30. August 2010, 21:11

  This snapshot don't work in Win2k at all (don't run).

  That would be DSK-305751.

  Indeed. We cannot possibly fix every bug at once.

• set30. August 2010, 21:22

  I'm getting random crashes when either performing a search in the address field, by just typing "word" or "g word", selecting a previous search, and/or when clicking a first search result, on Google mostly.
  
  Same bug was present (and introduced) in the previous build, and this guy and this one had it too.
  
  Any more info on this?

  They enable/disable stylesheets. Selectable in the menu under OMenu > Page > Style

  In Opera 10.61, press Ctrl+F12 and go to Advanced > Shortcuts. Under 'Keyboard Setup', select 'Opera Standard', and click the 'Edit' button. Type 'user' in the search box. An entry reading 'Feature ExtendedShortcuts, g shift - Select author mode > Select user mode' will appear. This can be edited to toggle author/user mode with the keyboard shortcut of your choice. I could not find this option in the latest build.

  I have a lot of random crashes with this and previous build. It can occur when I have clicked some link in page and right after that doing something else. (It seems) After restart same procedure (clicking same link) works just fine. Weird.

  This was a default shortcut in the 9.2x compatible keyboard shortcuts.

  Thanks. In that case, Shift+G does work, still.
