Updated in my second account install without a hitch (except that even here I get the "error" that it cannot confirm that the prerequisites are installed, but I've seen that for a long time in updates in non-beta 4.0 - I just click Okay and everything proceeds to install without a problem)
Really sorry to hear that Thomas the Black Guinea Pig (TBGP) is still having major problems after all the ground breaking work he did for me.

FWIW I prefer the way Beta 2 is displaying the Word for Word, not having each verse in a block. I would love to see the words not expanded in an easier to see font, though.

Now that Sr7 is running fine, I'm not having any problems. [:)].Chris Elford said:Really sorry to hear that Thomas the Black Guinea Pig (TBGP) is still having major problems after all the ground breaking work he did for me.
I'll pick up the beta later, but with the inlaws in for Thanksgiving There won't be much extra computer time.

Ok...B2 installed over primary installation...cross your fingers!
Observation: The cited by tool is cool for figuring out which early papryi contains what passages...

Move to Canada and you can keep on Logosing. We did Thanksgiving in Oct. because we were so thankful!
Enjoy the day! No make it the weekend!

Will it automatically uprade the B1 version? Or do I have to manually do it like before?

Mine did. As soon as I opened it today - I was using SR7 in my other profile most of the day - it started the download right off.

Yep. That's the ticket.
Has anyone successfully installed this beta on sr7 without it hosing the whole thing?

I snagged a bit of time and installed b2 on a second account. I just finished installing, and copying files. I was able to load a book without crashing! Yay!

Could you folks confirm two things:
I have Logos on laptop (used for church powerpoint etc) & on Home tower.
I cannot/must not mess-up the laptop, therefore new Beta versions will not be put on it.
Nor do I want the Tower to synch any "beta" version with the laptop.
1. Therefore, I assume I must add the "extra" install under another "user" in order to keep the Tower from syncing?
2. Even if I were to scrub all of L4 from my primary drawer to install the beta, that would not really be an option because of the desire to keep the laptop "safe."
Thanks
Steve

From the beta release notes (http://community.logos.com/forums/t/5385.aspx):
Bryan Albert said:Some documents in Logos 4.0a Beta 1 have
changed their internal formats since the release of 4.0; these
documents will not be synced to your 4.0 installation. The new types of
documents that will be added to 4.0a (e.g., verse lists) will also not
be synced. However, existing document types that haven’t changed their
internal formats will continue to sync between 4.0 and 4.0a Beta

I installed L4A1 Beta to the special User "Logos Beta". It synced with the SR7 without any problems, just all highlights were gone. Now I Installed L4A2 Beta to my main profile. I uninstalled SR7, deleted all the Logos 4 files and installed the Beta. Then I scanned the backup Resources folder from the previous Beta and it works great so far.

Bohuslav,
I simply installed 4.0B2 over the SR-7. Works great that way as well.
Was there a reason you chose the uninstall/install route?

I think (if I am not mistaken) that was the initial advice to do before installing the Beta.
EDIT: Now I looked to the first post announcing the Beta and I realized I misread the advice. It says we have to do that when we want to go back to SR7. Thanks for your info.

I also installed B2 on top of SR-7. Works beautifully... nice new features; My suggestions:
1) Please give us the option of the original vs. the new colorful/chaotic style of Interesting Words and Topics. Using the new style with the Chinese Bible (CUV) returns many, many more characters and renders this tool unusable. This seems to be true with English Bibles too (compare old and new Interesting Words for same passage). Please also add the option of showing Interesting Words for a different Bible version on the PG.
2) Please make the Information window show untruncated content soon.
Thanks,
Peter

I'm running B2 on a second account on an XP SP3 machine. Since it is working well, I'm considering installing it in my main account, over sr7. I've looked and searched, but I'm not sure about the following:
If I uninstall B2 from the second account, will it affect the installation in my main account?
Thanks,
Dudley0 -

DudleySomehow it did not work for me. The uninstall got stack. So I just deleted the user profile (the way Windows offer to do it, allowed to delete also all files) and than used my regular registry maintenance tool (Advanced SystemCare) to correct the registry. It works great for me. But there might be the more easy and correct way to do it.

Thanks Bohuslav,
Unfortunately, I'd rather not delete this second account. If others have uninstalled B2 from a second account and then loaded it over the sr7 installation in their main user account, I'd appreciate any pointers for 1) success, and 2) total removal of the B2 from the 2nd account, I'd very much apptreciate any tips or cautions.
Thanks,

Installed on my netbook over sr-7 with no problem. Seems to work fine.

Sorry if I've not been clear what I want to do. Currently I have 2 installations of Logos 4, sr7 and B2, on the same machine in separate user accounts:
User account 1--sr7
User account 2--B2I would like uninstall B2 from user account 2 and install B2 on top of sr7 in user account 1, thereby ending up with just one Logos 4 installation, which would be B2 on user account 1. I'm hoping someone can confirm that uninstalling B2 from user account 2 will not disrupt anything in the sr7 installation in user account 1, or at least anything that would complicate what I am trying to accomplish.
Thanks for the patience,
Dudley0 -
Dudley,
No worries my friend. L4 installs as a per user program. Go ahead and remove B2 from User 2. It will not affect user 1 UNLESS you did a custom install for each and installed them to the same location, which you did not - since you're running two different versions.

I just installed the Beta 2 on my vista 64 bit machine and it is working great! It is much faster than 4.0.

For 4.0a Beta 1 release notes
I really appreciate having this list of changes in each beta version. It would be fantastic if there was a readme file or "What's New" section in the help for the official version upgrades that would tell what has been changed in that version. I don't like that I must find the changes with each new version by trial and error. If people know what is changed, they might be more likely to make use of the new features.

DudleyOK, than you need to uninstall the Beta version the regular way. I hope it works. What I realize might be my problem was, that I tried to uninstall it while the other user account was active also (Logos was shut down however in that account). I noticed I had crash of Logos if there were both user accounts active and 2 different Logos sessions (SR7 and Beta) running on the same computer under the 2 different user accounts. Anybody else has the same experience? Of course it is not standard situation you would have 2 sessions of Logos running on the same computer. It happens only if you do not shut down the first user account and open the other one and in both you have Logos running. Just and observation.

I experienced this also. I assumed it was because two separate, but different, versions of L4 were simultaneously trying to sync to the Logos server (Not sure a "non-active" session - the one in the other profile - would be able to sync). Didn't think long, just closed both (one crashed) and restarted one - worked fine. Didn't think of it as a bug. But maybe it is.
Since I only have one computer capable of handling Logos, I have not installed on two computers. Can you run L4 simultaneously on both? In the same version only (SR7 on both)? With different versions (4.0b2 on one and SR7 on the other)? If you can, should it work on a single machine in two profiles? Or does it share some common files that can only be accessed by one engine at a time. Has anyone had two installs of the same version in two profiles on the same machine running at the same time (husband and wife sharing computer?) or is it only different version that cause the crash?

I have run two sessions simultaneously on two machines with
- same versions from secret betas thru SR-7
- different versions SR-7 and 4.0a
I've let each machine sync off each other (sometimes producing duplicates).
It should work on a single machine in two simultaneous user profiles (Windows Vista Logo reqmnt), although there is an architectural let-off!
I have two versions on my laptop but running in two OS (multi-boot) - it might be interesting to try one in a virtual machine simultaneously with one in the host!

I will do that, but I have to wait until I get home this evening. I am testing it on that machine and leaving my main study computer alone here at the church.
After I sent that however, I created a new user account and it did install. I had to run out the door as it was preparing to download, but the other one would not even install.
I will get the info to you later today. Thank you!
