Installation AND deletion issues - need help asap

[FrankieB]

Not only am I getting this Fatal Error when I try to install, now when I tried to delete the files off of my hard drive the Install folder is now labeled as Read Only, and refuses to allow me to delete it.

The error I get when trying to install is

Code:

Fatal error: Corrupted encoded data detected in /home/content/F/r/a/FrankieB/html/snippetmaster/index.php on line 0

I deleted everything, then reuploaded in binary, got the same exact error. Using the Zend package.

When I got frustrated, redownloaded the package and tried to delete the existing files, I got Access Denied when trying to either delete the Install folder or trying to change it from Read Only.

I am not sure what this program has done to my machine but I am not happy at all. I hope there is someone that can help me.

The program has not done anything to your machine.  It is limited to whatever security you are using on your server, and has nothing in it that will change files or anything like that.

It sounds to me like your web server might not be very well configured.

I recommend asking your web host for assistance to clean up the snippetmaster folder, and then just do a "manual" installation.  You can find links to manual install instructions on the download page (http://www.snippetmaster.com/download) 

I'm also happy to install it for you if you can't figure it out.

I rebooted into safe mode and deleted the files. I then redownloaded again and reuploaded again and now it works.

Excellent.  Let me know if you run into any more difficulty.

No not any difficulty, everythings working fine. I just wish I had a solution to create new HTML pages. Snippetmaster does everything I need except make new pages.
