Should I install version 5? MacbookPro3,1 Noet 256 GB SSD

Brian Harris

Currently I'm installing Noet 6.4. I'm thinking whether I should install version 5 (whether Logos or Verbum doesn't matter that much) - is that a good idea? I asked customer service and they said version 6 (of Noet) shouldn't require more graphics memory (VRAM) than version 5. I have 128 MB.
Currently I'm on OS X 10.10.4. I'm considering upgrading to 10.11 Beta 2 very soon.
Will it even be possible to install version 5 after installing Noet 6.4? Or should I go with Logos or Verbum 6?

I have 6GB RAM. Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz. This computer is the late 2007 model. All parts have been changed to new ones, only the outer cover, keyboard and monitor remain original. Disks have been replaced twice. The second disk is a 7,200 rpm HDD connected through P-ATA. The main disk is a 256 GB SSD specifically chosen for this model (Samsung 830 Series). I have two USB 3.0 ports (needed to use up the ExpressCard slot to install that).

Softwares that I have are the latest Scrivener and the previous version of Accordance namely version 10.

I would go with the most recent release

No. v5 is superseded and you won't get support if it is not compatible with OS X 10.9+

Noet can be installed along with Logos and/or Verbum - your choice!

Yes it would seem it's possible to install it that way, first Noet 6.4 then the bug- and data-types-update L5.2b SR-10 or Verbum 5.2b SR-10 which were released yesterday:

However, I have a related question, Windows: Would it be possible for me to install .NET 4.5.2, then back-up the Logos Prerequisites file on a machine already running 5.2b, then install Noet or Logos 6.4 and the patch Possible fix for running 32-bit 5.2b

... and then put the backed-up Logos Prerequisites file back? The question is whether the Noet or L6 installation process changes anything in the Windows Registry that affects the Logos Prerequisites (or Logos 5.2b files)? Perhaps it would be possible to back-up the Windows Registry before this and then put back the keys relevant to Logos Prerequisites and Logos 5.2b but how much work would that approximately be? I asked Tech Support this question about backing up Logos Prerequisites and putting it back but they couldn't support that installation method and claimed they didn't know.
My mum just had to temporarily pay $18.50 for five GB extra for the broadband - first time ever, and a friend needs to download a horse game using that too on her computer, so I have very limited possibilities to make multiple re-installations, even with the download-saving methods given at http://wiki.logos.com, because I have three computers with this problem and if I don't get to go on a vacation by car now and have any GB left I would need to download disk-repair utilities, book an (or perhaps two) updates to Windows 10, and chat.

You need Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8 to install Logos 6, and you should install .NET 4.5.2 before installing Logos 6 (or Noet 6).

IF you then want to install Logos 5.2, do so in another Windows User account, but first install the 32-bit Logos fix. Install Logos 5 from Logos5Setup  (which should install LogosPrerequisites and will update the registry for this User account). 

However, you do this at your own risk. I don't know what will happen when you install Logos 5, and it is possible that a subsequent update of Logos 6 will remove the Prerequisites!

You should run v6 without a doubt. Is there some reason you want to go with an outmoded version?

I tried what Dave Hooton suggested but Verbum (now updated from 5 to 6) still doesn't start after installation (had this problem for a few Months - it was sudden and not in combination with any installation), and L5 installation is stuck, spinning wheel:

I have repaired both HDD:s prior to attempting these steps. And .NET 4.5.2 is manually installed:

Possibly because Verbum is running in the other account. But fix Verbum first.
