Version 1.9.5 installer cannot install

Post by botakwts »

I downloaded the latest version 1.9.5 and ran the installer on my Windows 7 64 Ultimate. Even if the target subdirectory is totally empty, it still complaints - about "non empty subdirectory". The previous version 1.9.4 installs - without any problems. Thanks.

I believe this ended up being a bug. Delete the directory, and it should install properly. Or download the 1.9.7 installer from the main page.

Thank you. You are right. Even the 1.9.7 (latest) won't install in an empty subdirectory. I have to delete the entire subdirectory - then it works.

Very strange - my v1.9.5 install was properly overwritten by 1.9.7, but I allowed the uninstall to complete before continuing the install. The directory was NOT empty when the installer continued - my configuration and profile files were still there.

Very strange - I have no idea what causes the problem on my Windows 7 Ultimate either. But I solved the problem - that's the most important.
