I took the liberty of updating the original post with the Mac version of the instructions.

The new installer on German 4+5 takes just as long as the previous one did -- which is indeed often ~20min. The downside to a lot of video instruction is very large file sizes!!!
The truth is that our old installer simply wasn't working as well as we wanted it to, and this new one has thus far proven 100% dependable.

yeah I got the spinning beach ball on my Mac while installing but just let it sit for a while, and it finished. Also, I already emailed support but was wondering if anyone else was having this issue: I just wanted to verify they were installed correctly, and checked a few lessons out. I get an error and crash when I try to start lesson 20 of both levels 4 and 5. anyone else get this?

Joe and Eric - I'm getting the error too, lesson 20 in German 4&5. I'll send an email to the support group and hopefully it's an easy fix. Plus, I just noticed that lesson 20 covers the Genitiv case - so I'm more than happy to skip it (at least for now!) German = Grammar!!!

It seems to be just the lesson 20 in each. I haven't tried all of them though. I'm working with support to try to debug the issue. I tried playing the lesson straight from the disc instead of the installation, and it seems to work that way. so if you get to the lesson before it's fixed, you could try that.

thanks Joe! have you started German 4 yet? I did lesson 1 yesterday and thought it was worth it's weight in gold! I'm moving onto lesson 2 tonight but I expect that I'll need to do more reviewing than in the first 3 discs :)
