Installing base package resources

In my quest to use PBB files with Logos, I now understand at this time it's only available in Logos 3 / Libronix.

I've installed it successfully, but the script to install my resources (in my case Scholar's package) is broken:

http://wiki.logos.com/Re-install_resources_for_Libronix_3

It begins to install from the FTP server normally. Once the script reaches about 13% completed, every other file comes with Error 7. It was suggested to simply uncheck the bad file and run script again - I've done that now to about 6 or 7 files, never getting past about 13% finished. The script is bad.

Does anyone here know of another way to install all of my resources within Logos 3? Can anyone share how they completed it? I dread having to do it, one by one via my Orders page.

thanks for any leads or tips

Do you have the CDs that originally came with your purchase? If so you can insert them in your CD/DVD drive when Libronix is running and it will 'discover' your resources and offer to put them on your hard drive. Of course, you have to synch your licenses in Libronix first, but if you have done that it should work.

Hi Jacques ... now that you've tried the easier solution (which always works for me), the L3 scripts also had another problem associated with WIFI or the communications router, if I remember correctly (this is before my time but apparently Deborah from Logos (I think) always suggested the communication problem as the more likely issue.

Hopefully someone with better memory than mine can; I tried searching. Given the communications issue as the source, then my guess is the timeout is tight if you don't have a good connect (this happens when I sit out on the deck). Therefore, this would be my next suggestion ... make sure you have a good connect, if necessary even direct-wire. I know this sounds crazy ...

I never asked for the CDs, just downloaded and installed.

It's not my connection at all, I have zero problems with that otherwise.

Hm.

This may be the thread Denise was referring to: http://community.logos.com/forums/p/17905/134692.aspx#134692 And I don't necessarily have a better memory other than to remember Deborah's last name and then searched on it. [:)]

EDIT: If this were my problem, I would call Customer Service to see if they can provide you with a solution.

The Logos wiki link I mentioned within the first post of this thread leads to scripts that attempt to download your entire base package. The scripts fail, as the Logos FTP servers eventually become overwhelmed with the request and tend to return dozens of errors.

I finally succeeded! Every file is now downloaded properly. Here's I did it:

Using Firefox, there's a free to use extension called DownThemAll! (works fine for both Mac and PC) that can see any given page you are viewing within Firefox. DTA! allows you to batch download any linked files therein, based on definable filters.

I recommend to first create a folder easy for you to find, to hold the files - any base package will have at least hundreds of files!

Install DTA! for Firefox, then relaunch Firefox. Go to https://www.logos.com/user/orders, making sure you're logged into your account. Every downloadable resource for Logos 3, that you are licensed to use, will show on this page.

Right click to select "DownThemAll!..", then select Fast Filters. Here type in ".lbxlls", this will confine the downloads to just the Libronix files! Select the folder you created previously to download to.

Start the download and be patient. All the files that ended up green are finished, all the ones in red failed. After the entire first swoop of downloads, find all of the ones in red (you can mass select them by using the shift key) and hit command R (retry/reload) on the Mac or control R on the PC.

In my case, Scholar's Library, one file utterly failed. I reported the "Logos Bible Software Infographics (LBSINFOGRPHX.lbxlls)" resource was broken, they've since replied that this link is a mistake - it will not work with Libronix and will be removed shortly.

Now that all of your files are downloaded, make sure to close Libronix and the copy all of them to your Libronix folder. It's usually found in C:/ Program Files (x86) / Libronix DLS / Resources. Once the files have been moved, restart Windows and relaunch Libronix.

Hope this is helpful for someone out there..

Peace!

Well-Done, Jacques! Indeed!

I was truly hopeful that you would get it finally; and you did!

Thanks for posting to help others!
