[cowbie]

i had that problem make sure you download the .net 3.5 and the other file that is required to run octopus, its listed somewhere in setup or tutorials for it.

I had this problem, and then checked the documentation :-)

You need to download the 1.3.1 .MSI file first and run that to install the software. Then you can download a later version .ZIP file and copy that into the directory Octopus is installed.

Once you've read (at least briefly) the docs on Octopus, see the tutorial in my sig for an example setup.
