Problem New 3.0

[ddouglass]

Kelly and George,
When you installed the new version did you Upgrade or Remove (old version)?
At one point in testing we had to Remove the old version and Install the new. And if my memory serves me correctly (which it doesn't sometimes) that was when the write function began working again. Could be some leftover registry or dll code from old version that is messing things up.

ddouglass,

No, I didn't remove the old, just installed the new. So,...help me remember; How do I remove it?

Thanks for your help!

Option in installation. Run the setup program and choose to Remove. The run the setup program again and install (no option 2nd time).

Microstudio has to be removed an reinstalled. That is why it requires the new registration number. if you just upgraded, something is wrong!!!!

Not sure but new registration number may have been just for us to test the registration changes. However, I do believe it will require a remove and re-install to get those drive settings corrected. This needs to be noted (large type) on the News and Product pages, so everyone does it.

I didn't upgrade.

I'm using the demo, which installs without affecting the existing program.

Sorry George,
I didnt read your post that said that. I assumed you had got the full version.

My Bad, Nevermind................

When we change the first version number (2.x to 3.x) it is a new major release. In this case, we only used the name Microstudio to retain continuity. The actual product has almost none of the Microstudio 2.x code; it was rewritten from ground up after 10 years of evolution.

During Beta Testing, at Beta 15 we shifted to the new Registration Code, but it was the 3.0 that really requires installing from scratch. Everyone must remove then install to use 3.0.

The Demo has no bearing on anything in this post. It does not use the Registration Security at all, so it does not require removing the prior version.
