The problem with L4B1 crashing when opening something from the Library no longer occurs for me...Now I get to play with beta 2! Yippy!!!!

Downloaded and installed Beta 2 without an issue. Up and running.

Robert Pavich

Very very nice!

I'm thinking about installing this over the top of my primary install! [:D]

spitzerpl

thats the way I did it.

tjebme

That's what I did, Robert...not that it means it will work for everyone else.

After the headaches I've had this week, I don't think I will. Second account install for me at least that's what I'm thinking at the moment....

But Thomas, if your install breaks, you'll very quickly pass the 2000 mark:

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.

Keep up the great work, Logos. L4 is great!

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,
Dudley

Somehow 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.

Dudley Rose

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,
Dudley

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

Dudley Rose

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--B2

I 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,
Dudley

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.

Dudley Rose

Thanks, Thomas!

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.

OK, 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.

Added additional highlighting styles to match what is provided in 3.0, in addition to a couple new ones requested by customers in the forums.

Thanks for all of these and if you have a chance I would love to see this one.

Installed L4B1 over my L4 shortly after its release. Now running the L4B2. In both cases, everything was and is up and running smoothly ... so far.

Edit: Forgot to mention, OS is Win7 64 bit

Todd,

Thanks

Lawrence

How do I find out there is a new Bata released?

Just watch this beta forum.

Steven Yu

Just upgrade my laptop hdd, can I do a clean install using the beta installer without installer the initial release than upgrade?

Dave Hooton

The installer will detect the need to do a clean install or update.

Melissa -

I did not have logging turned on previous to this. Here is what I did:

1) Enabled logging

2) Tried to start V4 (not the Beta) to establish a log. Now it is crashing! Tried a second time. Crashed again.

3) Tried to install the Beta.

Zipped up the logs and attached them to this note.

V4 was not crashing before. I am in worse shape than when I started!

Jerry,

This was with Beta 1 (per log file), which did have some problems. This is why the beta guidelines recommend installing on a test system, if you have one, rather than your main computer. However, the good news is that Beta 2 is much more stable, and there is something you can try to successfully install it. Delete the Install folder in this location: C:\Documents and Settings\Jerry & Dianna\Local Settings\Application Data\Logos4\. Then try updating to Beta 2 again.
