If you have installed 40.2 and are updating to 41.0 Beta 1. You will run into an installation issue; this is expected, and a fix for that is coming in 41.0 Beta 2.

To work around this issue, you can delete your Data\<random>\Errors\ folder and then proceed with the update of 41.0.

Windows
1. Quit Logos.
2. Press Window key + R.
3. Type (or copy and paste) %localappdata% and press Go.
4. Open the Logos folder.

macOS
1. Quit Logos.
2. Open Finder.
3. Press CMD+Shift+G
4. Type (or copy and paste) ~/library/application support/Logos4
5. Click Go.

    Thanks, Matt - I can confirm, with this workaround I got 41 Beta 1 installed from 40.2 without running into the issues other users had.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    I did run into the installation issue (and Norton went haywire). I followed the instructions @Matt Mattox (Faithlife) posted but now Verbum is not opening for me. I attached my logs for help, please.

    Matt's instructions worked for me on Verbum …

    @Yasmin Stephen and once you got to this file path Data\<random>\Errors\ , you deleted the Errors folder right? After that, you should be able to open Logos and it should proceed as normal.

    Let me know if you are still running into issues. Just note that I probably won't be able to respond until tomorrow. If you need immediate help on this matter. I'd call our support team here.

    Yes, I deleted the Errors folder. However, remembering that Norton was constantly flashing me messages during the update, I went in there and found this:

    Could this be preventing Verbum from opening?

    No, problem; this is not my working copy.

    Just chiming in to say that my antivirus program went haywire during the update as well, though I remained on the beta channel and never installed the service releases for v40. I told the antivirus program to chill out, and it let me install the update.

    I can confirm that I used the workaround, and was able to install Logos without error. So far there doesn't seem to be anything untoward with doing this. I should say that I didn't delete the folder, I renamed it, for added safety.
