SUGG: Re-Installing L4 to a drive of your choice

Dave Hooton

For those wanting to take advantage of re-installing L4 to a drive of your own and wanting to avoid unnecessary Indexing:

• move (drag) your L4 Resource folder to a folder on the same drive (saves a lot of time over moving to another drive)  --> ...\Logos4\Data\{random}\ResourceManager\Resources
• uninstall L4 via Control Panel
• delete the remains of Logos4 folder
• download Beta4  from http://downloads.logos.com/LBS4/LDLS4Installer/Logos4Setup.exe
• choose Custom installation and select location e.g. H:\Logos4
• Sign-on
• As program finally opens note the number of resources being indexed 
• Use Program Settings to stop Updates if necessary & close L4
• Kill the Logos4Indexer with Task Manager (TaskMgr)!
• Restart L4,  type Scan c:\L4Resources (where you put them) into Command bar & confirm the command by clicking on the suggestion
• Close & Restart L4 - indexing should begin with a greater number of resources than before.
• Go to bed!

If you don't kill the Indexer it will only do the v3 resources it has discovered. After I typed Scan etc. I was able to verify that it was also indexing the resources from my old Logos4 folder.

Good job Dave. You are already staring to tweak Logos 4 [:)] Good...

It worked for me but I'd rather not tweak. I've suggested to Bradley that the installer prompt for an additional resource location (old L4 resources) so that it will scan for v3 and v4 resources before starting to index!

That would be an excellent suggestion!  Even if it were "hidden" under an "advanced" button.  Though I'd rather it not be hidden, how about a simple "Resource locations" button?
