The install cab has been removed from the package. If you need the home plugin or the audio manager, please see the links at the bottom of this post.
So, am I missing something. Has there been anyone else besides lowpro that tried 0.7 versus 0.6, and indicate that 0.7 is that unstable? Thanks.

The reason I ripped out the plugin installer cab is because the customizer now supports WM5 and WM6 versions of the plugin, and that would make my package too big to easily distribute if they were both included. I include the original page and a RapidShare backup to both versions of the Home plugin in the OP just above the screenshots, so a compatible version should be easy to find for almost anyone.
There is one recurring issue and one new issue I've been reading about. The recurring issue is when people download the zip directly to the device and try to extract it on there. For some reason, the subdirectories do not get created properly and the program will not run. The zip file needs to be extracted on a PC, then the extracted folder needs to be transferred to the device or SC. To resolve this, I may make a cab installer for future releases, but I haven't decided yet.
The new issue (v0.7) is with local weather not being pulled down. If you refer to the first post, you will see a link to N2A's thread on XDA. There are two methods you can use to pull local weather. The cab I used to include (which is in his post) has the HTCHome.dll hacked to point to a different server. This is definitely the most reliable method to get the local weather, but creates issues if the alt server goes down. I'm now using the other method he describes, which is to set a hosts entry in the registry to redirect to the alternate weather server. This method is not as reliable (in the case of proxied net connections), but the most compatible across both platforms. If anyone can't get local weather working on WM6, I suggest you give N2A's cab a shot.
Sorry for the long reply to a simple question, but I thought it might help other people here as well.
