Can't install FBackup 5.0.355

Windows 7 64bit.

The installer runs, and says it's downloading the .msi file. Partway(60%ish?) through, it just changes to download failed and presents me with the options of Try Again(Which does the same thing.) or close.

I installed 5.0.346 a few days ago, and it seemed to be working well initially, but this morning I noticed that it would simply crash on startup. Hence installing a new version.
(The old version has completely been uninstalled, and the new install is still failing.)

*edit*

Downloading the .msi directly worked. However only in Internet Explorer. Firefox would load the binary file and attempt to display it.

Link provided for the convenience of anyone else having this issue:

*edit2*

Interesting, the .msi installs 5.0.346 still... (According to the loading splash screen.)
The auto updater(which actually runs now, since fbackup will actually display its GUI now.) seems to say 5.0.355 is there... So, trying to update that way...

*edit3*

And the autoupdate just punts me to the installer .exe again, which fails at 50% repeatedly, downloading the exact same .msi file.

I'm curious given the 50ish views on this thread and no replies. Is everyone else having the same issue, having no issues at all(Seems really weird that it would just be me, given the symptoms.), or haven't attempted upgrading to the latest version yet?

I'm also having the same problem.

Does anyone know when this problem will be fixed? I need to recommend some backup software to some students.

Having exactly the same problem, starts loading but fails half way through. Have download .msi and run it but makes no difference.

After looking for a replacement for Cobain which doesn't work on my windows 7 I found FBackup.

I hit the same problem trying to install but found this this morning which installed successfully:

The problem continues. Uninstalled older version and tried a fresh install after reboot but still will not install; now I have nothing. Would love some problem solving - obviously. :D
