    I cannot get the fresh install of Revolution 2.0 to get beyond the following error:

    "Firefox can’t find the file at /E:/ModxRevInstall/setup/" . MODX_SETUP_URL . "?s=set.

    no luck with other browsers either: Opera 10.61 , Safari 5.0, IE 8

    Environment:
    Firefox version 3.6.9
    PHP version 5.3.1
    MySQL version 5.1.41
    Apache version 2.2.14

    Apache and MySQL are running.

    I’m going back to Evo 1.0 - at least it installed with no problems.
    cheers.

      Did you try to upgrade from Evo to Revo? That doesn’t work at present.

      If not, you may have a corrupted or missing file in the setup directory. It happens with both versions sometimes.
