By the way, which windows version do you have?
And did you try the newest development version, by desga?

Download preBeta (alias cp4) {Mirror}
Please use a fresh installation, not update previous cp versions.

I would like to try 1.6 but I have not been able to find any documentation how to run it from a manual install.
The zipped cp4 is a portable version, that means to run it simply unzip it somewhere into a new folder, and run it as it is. As all programs work, either by double-clicking the k-meleon.exe, or by creating a shortcut icon somewhere, on the desktop or in the quickstart area etc., and then double-clicking that one.
This cp4 version also contains the profiles inside the K-Meleon program folder, so they are independant from profiles of other versions.
Attention, you need to allow yourself writing rights in the profile folder (and certain optional macros also need rights in the KM program folder). By the way programs don't necessarily all have to be placed in c:/programs, most can just as well be anywhere else, for example in "My documents" or another partition ("d:"), where writings rights usually are less restricted than in c:/programs. But I'm no expert for this complicated rights stuff, personally am still very happy win98 user without any restrictions

When I try to run the .exe in 1.6 I get an error and the program won't start.
More information needed, but with a bit luck the cp4-version runs better?

Can anyone point me to any documentation describing how to get 1.6 to run with my 1.5.4 configurations?
Open KM154, make sure the tabs are
NOT at the bottom, then click
Edit > Configuration > Profile directory (or if you know where, simply open it in your file explorer)
Copy all those files (right-click > copy)
CLOSE KM154, and also the loader if use.
Open KM1.6.
Same procedure as above, open the NEW profile directory, copy your previous files into it (overwrite), and restart.
Not all things can be copied over, like cookie permissions and such.
And things like manually downloaded skins (in skins folder) and macros (those in the KM root macros folder) usually aren't in the profile folder, so copy them manually via file explorer.
