Sad day for QS
It's a sad day for QS. Today, I have given the installation ZIP files a try. It was a major shock to find out that none of the downloads (the regular QS nor the Mobirise edition) actually worked. They caused an error when installing.
I have meantime fixed the issue. But I have absolutely no idea how many people must have tried to download and install QS, without any luck. It may have been going on for more than a year. And nobody has ever reported any issue.
It somehow makes sadly clear how dead QS is today. I'm not blaming anyone, let me make that clear. It's just sad. That's all there is to say I guess.

... - Pieter says: (11/12/2019 09:11:30)Sergio, the issue did not relate to file corruption. I think it has to do with a Windows update that has affected the ASP opens Access databases. The issue only showed when installing QS, on the screen where you set some initial stuff, like sitename, url, password, etc. Hitting the "Save" button on that page generated a 500 error message: Record is deleted. It's database related. Again, I have no idea when exaclty that issue starting to show. Nobody ever reported it. Anyway, it's fixed now...
