[TEMP USER]

hi,

ever since google bought instantiations , i can't update/install window builder . i always get installation errors . i've even tried to totally remove the eclipse folder and the workspace folder . nothing helped . i've also tried the "eclipse -clean" command.
here's what i get:


what should i do?
i've using eclipse helios (version 3.6.1.r361_v20100909) +windows xp sp3 home edition 32bit , and i always get the same error.

what should i do?

The screen shot you provided shows a pretty common Eclipse update manager failure indicating eiher a comm problem on your end or a corrupt p2 cache.

DId you try rebooting Eclipse to see if that made the problem go away (that is often the easiest solution)?

If that does not help, have you tried it with a new, clean Eclipse environment (like the standard Eclipse SDK release)?

You might also try disabling any proxies or firewall you have in place on the chance that your system doesn't like the new Google servers that these bits are being served from.

What I can assure you is that there is no problem with the update sites on our end (the significant increase in traffic from new users on these forums is testament to that).

yes , as i already wrote, i've tried to rebbot eclipse and even do a clean installation - removing entire folder of both eclipse and the workspace . they both failed.
downloading succeeds , but while it tries to install , it gives me this error and then quits the installation process .
btw, i use the next string for the installation (via the "install new software" menuitem of eclipse) :
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2wbpro/latest/3.6

EDIT:after cleaning the computer from temporary files , i've tried to re-install window builder, and it seems to work .
it's weird. maybe i didn't have enough space on the HD or something.

Glad you got it working. Eclipse can be temperamental for any number of reasons
