SoftSqueeze will no longer start

[jarome]

On OS X 10.6.1, I rebooted today, and softsqueeze 3.7 no longer starts.
I get:

It seems to be no longer available for download from the server web page. How do I reinstall this, or fix it?

I just updated to Squeezebox server 7.4.1 a week or so ago and Softsqueeze worked fine. I use it from the java applet directly and it interfaced with squeeze server fine.
Then Tuesday of this week I got the Microsoft update. Softsqueeze worked fine then too. Now as of this morning (Friday).. I get that stupid message that softsqueeze is downloading something from the server address of Squeezebox server, then fails to launch with an error code, which I will post back.

Whats happening.. Any ideas? I didn't do anything myself to change anything.
I just wanted to add to the previous post, since that was about Mac and now I can report Vista is fouled up too.

Answer: I fixed this by reinstalling using the windows installer at sourceforge.net
