Question: Every time I try to download HHST, it gets all the way to unzipping the files and tries to run them and then says that I have to reboot windows to complete, which I've tried 3 times, it never finishes the download once my computer comes back up. Why is that?
Answer:
This happens when Microsoft releases new version of .dll's every now and then.
Please download the latest HHST v6.61 from the website.
It should have three files, once it is extracted.
- 1. Setup.exe
- 2. HSTv6_61.CAB
- 3. SETUP.LST
Please open SETUP.LST using Notepad.
You can see a structure like this in the second paragraph.
