Installing L4

Ok, I am officially brain dead.

I decided to rmv L3 and L4 and just put L4 back on.

I initially installed L4 then added L3 for some reason and now that I was trying for different hyperlinks to work ....I was getting L3 to open. So I am going back to just a simple L4.

I have the L4 Platinum Installation Disc. I have put it in my drive and can't find the L4setup.exe file. How do I get this process started again?

On the DVD the file is Logos4Setup.exe.

If you have not removed the Logos4 folder you can install using the resources already on the hard drive. Use Method 3 at http://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_multiple_computers. You need first to delete the Logos4 folder (after preserving the resources folder) and you scan the folder containing your resources.

Dave,

Thank you for the information. I ended up removing, with the control panel "Add or Remove Programs", L3 and L4. I found someone posted that Logos4setup.exe in the forums and have started to get the files again.

I see that I would have been forced to take this other link for setup of L4. I have taken the installation disc to another computer and have searched the disc for the Logos4Setup.exe file and it is not there. I do not know what to think about that. In fact, the only .exe files are these as the search results show are:

Name In Folder

Bootstrap \Logos Bible Software 4.app\Contents\MacOS

Bootstrap \Logos Bible Software 4.app\Contents\MacOS\Logos4Indexer.app\Contents\MacOS

I can't help with the Mac DVD, as this is a Windows forum (try Logos4 Mac forum).

If you are installing in a Windows virtual environment then you can still install from the wiki link I gave you (provided you have a folder of resources), or simply run the setup link from the wiki article.

So is that my problem....I have been sent a MacOS installation disc? I am in a Windows XP system. Maybe Logos made a mistake and sent a Mac disc.

At one point we were told that the install disk had "both" MAC and Windows install files included.

Has this changed?

Or is this a "faulty" disk?

Or...?

(Enquiring minds, and all that...)

Irrespective of that are you able to use Method 3 as I indicated?

At worst you can use Method 3 and scan the DVD drive for its resources, which are the same for Windows & Mac.

Dave:

Thanks for getting back with me. I did go on and reinstall L4 with Logos4setup.exe because as I stated I did "remove program" from the control panel in windowsXP.

I assume deleting the program that way would remove all folders? I am now up and running again. I have never really had a problem with L4 (knock on wood).

I guess my only question is now...Do I have a windows or mac disc? Is there a quick and easy way to tell?

Was the other computer a Mac - as you were clearly showing MacOS folders?

My disc is labelled for Windows and Mac but I cannot see those Mac folders in my Windows OS! In a Windows machine you should see Logos4Setup.exe in the root folder.

Dave,

My problem is figured out. I got this disc to reload just in case. I ended up having to use it when I decided to remove L3 and L4. I was searching the forums for installing L4. As you noted above my disc had no setup file. This is the reason for the original post when I could not find anything on the forums. Well, instead of waiting for a reply I searched more. I found that Robert Pavich had posted a response in a thread that was the windows installer. I got it started and its all done now.

So we have moved a day or two in the future and the answer to your question is that I have a Windows machine. Logos must have accidentally sent a Mac disc. I will need to call them and see about another disc.
