[Xerte] Error at Publish- version 1.9

[William Laakkonen]

I just downloaded (about 5 minutes ago) to a Server 2003 and right click on
desktop, create folder, right click folder, new xerte file, double click to
open, file->publish, get the error. As a note- ALL have firefox as default
browser, not IE
