When I start Logos 4 after installing today's update it ignores my original install and wants to download 11.9 GB of resources to a new directory structure.

Were you under a different Windows user account at the time, or signed into Logos 4 under a different account? Had you removed any folders before the update?
Hi Melissa
I was on my normal user account and was signed in using my normal Logos account I was prompted to restart after the update downloaded and Logos 4 displayed a screen that said it was downloading 11.9 GB!

My install location is c:\users\public\logos4
The update is writing to c:\users\graham owen\app data\local\logos4
It seems to have corrupted my customer install location and created a new default

I'll let development know, thanks.
Graham -- Devs will want to see your setup logs. Can you attach those here? If you don't have logging enabled, they may be in your Temp folder.

This has messed up my custom install as well - new structure at standard C:\Users\{Dave}\AppData\Local\Logos4 instead of D:\Beta\Logos4.
It wanted to me to sign-in & then was going to download 7.77 GB which I cancelled. It started indexing but with less than half my actual resources in the new structure.
I had closed L4 before the installation at approx. 0710, gone out and found the Sign-In at approx 1045.
Logging was reset in the Registry so there is no log for the Indexing that took place after 1045 (not in Temp either).
I think I know how to get out of this, but we obviously need to know that the Setup program has been fixed.

The effect of the installation seems to be restricted to the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logos4, where the "InstallDirectory" value was removed in addition to resetting the Logging sub-key and removing the other sub-keys. The Logos4 shortcut was unaffected, the custom System folder was updated to Beta 3 but the lack of a value for the installation directory causes L4 to look in the default user location! Net result - it tried to re-download resources and index them.
I re-created the correct "InstallDirectory" value in the Registry and Beta 3 seems to be running OK with all my resources!
Glad I saw this before I let beta3 install since I have mine installed in d:\logos4. Now I'll just have to not forget and accidently click on the install button since it's downloaded and ready to install. I trust this will be fixed in beta4.
What will happen when beta4 comes out? Will it download that, overwriting the beta3 that I have downloaded but not installed? Or do I need to clear out a cache or something?

You can delete it from \UpdateManager\Installers in d:\logos4.
Dave ~ Thanks for the logs and for providing a way to 'undo' the change.

This is unfortunate since it affects everyone, not just those who had a custom install directory (I wasn't affected by the install path problem, but my logging had stopped). Everyone in the beta will need to be told to re-enable logging (unless the next beta re-enables it automatically).

Todd Phillips:veryone in the beta will need to be told to re-enable logging
Thanks for the heads up, Todd. I have now re-enabled logging.

I wish that I had seen this before I started trying to reinstall Logos 4... My efforts so far have failed with Logos continuing to insist that it download my resources no matter what I do...
I think my days with Beta Vwrsiosn are over, at least for now.
Compared to a Version 3 reinstall this is a nightmare!

Grumble. What other sub-keys were there that we've lost?
I will send out an all-points alert (or at least all points who read the forums regularly) that people who have upgraded to Beta 3 need to re-enable logging.

Do you have what keys to put in place? I go to the registry and only see:
under Logos4 and Logging:
default REG_SZ (value not set)
If I change Logos4 to E:\Logos4\
it still wants to download so I do not think it is seeing the install directory correctly.

I hope you can undo what you have done! Logos4 is the key name that refers to the product and must not be changed. Earlier in this thread I referred to a Value name for the Installation Directory that had been deleted and this needs to be restored.
Copy the 4 lines between the ++++++ lines into a new text file, change the folder name using \\ separator (NOT single \) and save it as L4DirFix.reg. Double click the file to update your registry.
Please NOTE: you do this entirely at your own risk!

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logos4]"InstallDirectory"="E:\\Logos4"
after I thought about it I took out what I did an created another sub key and was able to get Logos to start up without wanting to do an install.

Please share what you did.
I deleted the original E:\Logos4\ from:
Default REG_SZ
Created another key by right clicking and selecting "new" "String Value" named it "InstallDirectory" and gave it the value of "E:\Logos4\"
So far so good it seems. Recognized my saved log in, settings and resources installed on the PC. The resource folder has 2,444 files but Logos Library only reports 2,309 resources is this correct?
