Fresh Install without 3

Kevin A. Purcell

Now that RC1/2 is out will L4 install without L3 being installed?

Yes Kevin.  We've been able to do that as early as I think β3 or so.  You'll just have to type <scan /path> into the command bar (without the brackets) to let L4 know where all the resources are.  Unless you're keen to download multiple GB of data.

Yes, but use a current L4 resources
folder as it will save a lot of downloading!

    * copy/move your L4 Resource folder out of

      ...\Logos4\Data\{random}\ResourceManager\Resources.

    * If necessary, uninstall L4 and L4 Prerequisites via
Control Panel & delete the remains of Logos4 folder

    * download Logos4 from  

      http://downloads.logos.com/LBS4/LDLS4Installer/Logos4Setup.exe

    * choose Custom installation if you want to
install in a folder of your choice

    * Sign-on

    * ASAP (when program finally opens) use
Program Settings to stop Downloads++

    * Kill Logos4Indexer.exe in Task Manager

    * Type Scan c:\L4Resources (where you
put them) into Command bar & click

    * Close & Restart L4

    * Indexing should start.

    * Go to bed!

 

++ if you get a download you should Cancel it

...
the standard installation path is:-

XP
- C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Logos4

Vista/Win7
- C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Logos4

 

EDIT:

I recommend an L4 resource folder as it contains both L3 and L4 resources. But a folder with only L3 resources will be OK.
