When I install I get to about 50% and it gives me this error. Anyone know the solution to my problem? Thanks.

tobyrne-

What NotePad are you trying to download? What system are you using?

Have you tried downloading the installer again?

Okay. I know that this is much past 2007, but I can't find a solution anywhere else. I have been trying to download Finale NotePad 2012, and I have tried about 7 times. It keeps coming up with the "invalid file handle 5" error. I was able to avoid the error by clicking the "OK" button quickly, but then when I went to go run all of the things in my folder, it wouldn't start because the font package was missing. Yes, I have restarted, taken down my firewall, and a bunch of other things. I am currently on Windows 7 Home Premium, just in case that helps. I know that I could use the Noteflight website, but all of the other students in my upcoming music composition class say that Finale NotePad is 10 times better. Has anypne found a solution?

Are you able to download any of the other demos (printMusic, SongWriter, or Finale?) This might help zero in on the problem.

BTW, you (and all of the others in your class) will very quickly tire of NotePad's limitations. Possibly, by the end of the first week! I would strongly suggest that you skip the lattes for a few days, and buy SongWriter, instead.
