WEFT III and corrupted .cab files

I've tried installing both weft3.exe and weft3b2.exe, while online, and all I get are corruped .cab files.  The install proceeds alright until Diamond.exe tries extracting the required files, then everything goes down the toilet.

Any/all help would be appreciated as I"m hoping WEFT III is the ticket to creating embedded fonts that will work with IE Mac.

If anyone knows if/when the full installer will be made available, that would be nice too.

Perhaps you could provide more information - the error messages you received?

I get the following errors as I try to install WEFT3 (while online) under Win95:

1) An alert box titled 'Setup' pops up which points out that the Diamond Extraction Tool, while installing the Crash Recovery Agent, is handling cabinet bbox.cab and extracting bbox.ini.  Then it gives the following:  'ERROR: Cabinet file bbox.cab is corrupted'

2) Immediately upon pressing okay (the previous error box), another similar, but smaller box pops up saying, "Failed to install a component. Aborting!' with an 'OK' button.

3) Finally upon pressing the previously mentioned alert box 'OK' button, I get yet another alert box saying 'Your installation was not completed!', with yet another 'OK' button.

I get these errors regardless of what I enable in the installation choices window, if I choose only to install WEFT, then I'll get an 'ERROR: Cabinet file weft.cab is corrupted' (See item number 1, above)

Si, I hope you can make heads or tails of these errors and help me out on this, as I am eager to see if somehow, someway WEFT 3 allows the embedding of viable fonts for use with IE Mac.

Sincerely,
