I'm having problems doing Word Studies on basic words like "righteousness." "Righteous" pops up as a possibility, but "righteousness" doesn't even though "righteousness" is clearly one of the subjects in my dictionaries.
AFAIK, topics are still a work in progress. Some dictionaries are not completely tagged for topics yet, and this is how your partial lists are being generated. [sigh]

Just looked at my indexer Log and see that there were some updates to the reverse interlinears. I also notice that the NLT NT RevInt is out now. Not sure if this is new to today, or not, but thought I'd report it.
Not happy it changed my default Bible to NLT as part of install, given that I dont use home page took me a bit to track down the problem/cause

Didn't do that to me. Not sure why it would. I'll be interested to see what Melissa or Bradley say about this next week/year

bigger than SR-1 (36MB+) SR-2 is 882.1MB or so
I find it interesting that on my machine, I first had a large 882MB update and index. Then the next time I started it, there was another 36MB update. It is now showing SR2, though I didn't check in between the updates...

penetrate more deeply into the knowledge of God’s Word in Holy Scripture

I think the 800+ MB were interlinear resources being updated while the smaller update was SR-2...

Was the 800 MB worth of resources an overwrite or additions? I seemed to have lost about 800 MB worth of space and I am getting close to running out.

If you go to your Logos 4 Resources folder, you will see the 15 (I think) interlinears with a new date (mine is Dec 30, I assume that's the date they were downloaded to your PC). They add up to about 780MB, and most of them are replacements. Someone posted here there were a couple (2-3?) new interlinears, but I am not sure about that. If you are running Windows 7 and doing backup, I know you can right click on each file, choose Properties, and one of the tabs will let you see prior versions. I tried it on my system.

The only new file should be the NLT New Testament. Everything else was a replacement.
This is my personal Faithlife account. On 1 March 2022, I started working for Faithlife, and have a new 'official' user account. Posts on this account shouldn't be taken as official Faithlife views!

Logos 4.0a Service Release 1 (SR-1, v4.01.3.4737) was released this afternoon. SR-2 (v4.01.3.4767) will be released this evening (with one more bug fix).

- [SR-2] Fixed crash (System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException) opening the Home Page on December 31
Is there any significance to the fact that this crash happened exactly ten years (minus one day) after the famous Y2K prediction? <Big Grin>

still having installation problems.... Since I removed everything and tried to do a clean install, my dvd and the latest setup file has NOT worked. I can provide screen shots and error logs that point to Logos 4 software. I am an IT professional so I have also eliminated the 25000 other variables that point to everything besides Logos 4.
Here is my frustration: $200 upgrade (I own the GOLD package), $1000s of $ investment in this product = no support and waiting for forum posts, very dissappointing... For as much as I have spent personally with Logos (please check my account), I figured that maybe my installation problem might be a priority....
Oh... I do not want FREE unlocks... (which has been the 'softeners' in the past for bad support). I want working, operating, and usable software.... both in hard copy and downloadable file. thank you... I am trying to do other things besides wait for forum posts... grrrrrr...

Derek,
Have you tried calling Technical support? I realize that they are closed today so that won't help immediately.
I know the forums aren't the best place to do tech support, but if you could start a new thread with as much details as you can, perhaps someone will be able to help.

Thanx Kevin all good ideas and tried.... alas the frustration...
I would be willing to start a new thread however, the voluminous other parties who have the SAME issue have also posted here and it shows a pattern (hopefully). Also, the only other helpful solution would perhaps to be able to provide screen shots... this forum does not allow this...
I will just use e-sword with what I need to accomplish for now.... in the interim.... having access to my 3,500 resources would have been quite helpful though...

How can you tell which resources have been updated?
Either:
- Watch your indexing log, or
- Look in your resources folder to see which files are new
- Use an SQLite viewer to examine Logos' settings files.
Where do I find the Indexing Log?

Actually, you can post pictures to the forum just click on the paper clip and find and insert your file.

I'm curious, I see on your desktop in the first two grabs that Logos installed far enough to create a desktop icon. Did you try holding down Ctrl when you click on it to enable logging. Perhaps we could get a log file for someone more knowledgeable than I to look at.
Also I saw this on another thread, http://wiki.logos.com/Creating_a_Crash_Dump_with_ADPlus It might make more detailed logs to at least email to Logos tech support to help figure out what's going on.
Ok, well, we should probably stop clogging up the release notes thread, how bout you start a new thread so that we could attract some more attention to your problem, perhaps someone with the same problem had a solution that I don't know about.

If you are still stuck with the "Runtime error" the only advice I can give is to delete the \Install folder in the \ogos4 directory, then run the Logos4Setup.exe again.
If you install OK and L4 crashes we need some logs to be uploaded - see http://wiki.logos.com/Diagnostic_Logging
If necessary start L4 by holding the Ctrl key and opt to run with a blank layout as that may avert the crash problem.

Logos needs to chime in sometime here. SR-2 is a mess. Things are broken all over the place after two huge downloads and two indexings.

I'm really glad I am not one of the folks with an internet cap. If you have one, turn off updating. I have downloaded almost 3GB of updates, and all I have gotten for it is more and more things broken every time. Do NOT update to SR-1 or SR-2.
Now almost all my Interlinears are not working, several resources crash the program, and several are blank.
Ugh.[:@]

I'll throw an idea in here that you may want to try, it helped me once in 4.0a. At that time, I had a crash in indexing, so I did rebuild index. It would still crash. So something was hosed up in the index file. I copied the entire Index folder somewhere else to save it, deleted the files in the original folder, and then just ran L4. It immediately did an index as it had to, and all crashing went away. I too think these problems are indicative of indexing or index file problems, if the file is there and many don't have the problem what else could it be? For the minimal time and risk I would try removing your index files (after saving them elsewhere) and build the index from scratch - if I was a betting man I bet that would fix it.

- We've seen some crashes with SQlite corruption problems in the last 24 hours or so and the best advice from Logos was to rebuild the index, but the cause is not known and I don't know if the fix was successful!
- With the recent resource issues one user did rebuild after the 1.5 GB download but the issues were NOT resolved.
My own feeling is that the software is also contributing to the issues.
Now, if one person having downloaded everything to date is willing to delete their LibraryIndex folder (that person will also know where it is!) and start L4 the index will be rebuilt! But place the result in my WARNING: thread at http://community.logos.com/forums/t/8544.aspx

Dave, do you think it will solve the problem of Biblical people, places and things being grayed out? I don't mind rebuilding the index, but not if it will not addresss the Biblical thnings etc., issue.

A re-index did not fix it for Rich DeR!

Dave, thanks for this... here is a thought...
FRESH INSTALL means all previous remnants to include the ones buried in the registry and in the "Documents and Settings" folder have been WIPED. There is nothing to 're-index' and hitting a CNTL key, or downgrading to 3 to get a program to work is not functionality, it is a bandaid. I appreciate what your trying to do and look forward to official Logos 4 folks addressing the issue.
Let us continue to remember that the reason folks are frustrated (like in my case), is that they might have extensive investment (over $2k) tied up in this software and when it does not work, just from a purley customer service standpoint, and they have to monitor forums, etc.... it is like being read a script to reboot your modem by Comcast (when everyone in the neighbor is down) or talking to an English as a 2nd language support rep who is telling me to touch my forehead and balance on one foot when my computer won't boot.
Being in the IT service industry (specifically managed services - people pay me a monthly fee to have their computers maintained and working), if their computer does not work, they immediately call our help desk, and depending on their access level ($35, 55, or 85 per month) is the turn around time they receive on tech support issues. At its lowest, it ends up being 24-28 hrs and with guarentees. If I pulled, "hit the control key" or "take it into diagnostic mode" or have you tried downloading our latest widget, or sent out bad software... what do you think would happen to my client base? Exactly. Just because we are Christians does not mean we overlook poor business practices or expect 'less' than excellent conduct from those we do business with who profess the faith. It should be better. I am also available 24/7 to address my clients needs because they are paying for that service. I did not get to pull the "its a holiday" when Comcast went down for one of my clients over the holiday week.
When I have paid over $2k for software, it better work, the first time, or there had better be a person laying awake at night just as concerned with my issue working on it and addressing it with others, and I had better receive an email, and depending on the investment level, a personal phone call.
Here is what we also forget... You only have one chance to rectify a customer service issue. Here is our witness... how we treat each other... If I treat my $2k plus clients like this... (see above) what is the low end, $19.95 person going to think about the software when he/she reviews the forums (most buying decisions come from online reviews) and sees mine and the numerous others having these problem?
Oh, I know.... giving them a FREE unlock is going to help that...... ah no.... and yes... still frustrated.... can you tell? I have been a Logos customer since 2003 so I have been around for a few changes and through a few issues and this should not be taken lightly...

Derek, in all fairness, and while I can only imagine your frustration, Logos has been monitoring these forums frequently, except for these last two holiday weekends. Your initial post was on the afternoon (PST) of Dec 31. The next day was a legal holiday and Logos was closed. For the sake of Logos' employees, I hope they are home with their families today too, though I suspect some CS folks will be at work today anyway.
What I'm saying is, don't judge their customer service by what you don't seem to be getting over a holiday weekend.
Secondly, don't judge their CS or tech support without calling tech support. The forums, while they are monitored, are not the primary means to get tech support. While they are probably the first place to go, they primarily provide user based support. There are issues users will not be able to resolve. Call, or email them. While they are extremely busy right now, they will respond and get you through this. I don't know any company that can match Logos in customer service or tech support.
BTW, if two days of problems qualifies one for some free stuff, Microsoft owes me a lot of money. [;)] So does Dell, come to think of it, and Corel.

I can understand not having full customer service on a holiday weekend.
If that is the case, then I cannot understand releasing ANYTHING on that same weekend! What was basically done was an SR was sent out (which by definition "Service Release") should be near flawless (since the "Release" was not really broken - check the Release notes) right before everybody ran out the door for the holiday.
Add to that the fact that Logos auto updates, and you have a whole bunch of dedicated users completely messed up right before needing to use the software (for sermon prep) and not a peep from ANYONE at Logos. Just more and more and more posts from users describing how this SR broken a whole bunch of functionality - and BASIC functionality at that!
It very disconcerting.
