Project manager

Hi Guys,

I finally decided to upgrade to 7.91 but what,

The chooses directory button in the installer freezes the installer.

When using the project manager on working directory I cannot load any parcels ? When choosing the VW directory as root the parcels still show as unread.

When loading my code from my store, it doesn't find external libraries.

When opening the project manager again hitting the upper right button the project manager freezes.

 

Bah....

One problem I've encountered with installers and network disks (not VW in particular) is if a user is not running as admin, has network disks mounted, and his Documents or other folder used by the installer is on a network disk. When the installer uses UAC to get the rights of an admin account, it sees only the disks mounted for that admin user, and so cannot see the original user's network disks. (I'm not sure offhand if this applies for an account that is admin but not running as admin, or an account that isn't admin and needs to enter another account's password.)

 

Cheers,

Steve

H Sherry,

On Mac (0SX 10.6.8) it doesn't freeze. It freezes on Win7 pro when installing on an internal disk. However this machine is normally network connected with some network drives. When I installed vw 7.91. it was not hardwired to the network and not rebooted so maybe it was looking for its network drives. I can try to double check when beeing on the network. Older versions of Windows used to have problems when beeing disconnected to network drives didn't they ?

 

Regards

 

@+Maarten,

Hi Maarten,

Can you please give us a little more information about your failure here:

- What is the platform?
- Does the installer freeze as soon as you open the choose directory dialog, or after you try to navigate to your desired location?
- Where did you install VisualWorks - is it a local internal drive, an external drive, a network drive?

Thanks,
Sherry
