Hi Gronkstar,
I just took a look at the download file and all the files look like they're there. What FTP application are you using? Sometimes I've ran into problems with files not being uploaded properly. These days I use filezilla - never had another problem.

Hey Gronkstar,
Actually, the contents of the /cache folder don't exist in the installation file: they're created dynamically by the script (or more accurately, by "Smarty" which is bundled with Form Tools). Those files beginning with %% .. are cache files.
The installation script *should* detect that your cache folder is read-writable, but it sounds like maybe its not because the files aren't being created. Since you're on a Windows server, ask your hosting provider to change that folder to have full read-write permissions.
Let me know if this helps...

Good to know, thanks! I'll jot this down as a potential bug: as I said, the installation script *should* detect the folder permissions and warn you appropriately. I'm curious to know why this didn't happen in your case...!
