I/O warning : failed to load external entity "NULL"

1. Open the DIA program. The splash screen shows and stays on screen, but a DOS error message (see above) comes up and nothing further happens.
To clarify; Are you using the dia installer? Are you using version 0.94-pre1 or 0.94? Are you using Windows XP, 2000, ME, 98 or 95? Is dia usable?
First of all, pleae note that I am not the original bug reporter. Today I installed DIA 0.94 on a windows 2000 machine. I used the windows installer. On this machine version 0.92.2 was installed. I got the same "DOS error message" reported by mordecai only the first time I launched DIA: the program was usable, as far as i can say (I just loaded a file and modified it). When I launched DIA again in the same session the error message was not shown again. Hope this helps.
I get the Same error message, I am using the windows installer under windows xp sp2. The program opens and is usable but the error message stays. I used the dia-setup-0.94 to install dia. But on a side note I think this program rocks, I am going to install it on my Linux box, im sure it will run much better in Linux everything else does.
There's a patch to solve this problem, but it hasn't been applied yet.
