281 installer problems

Tue Jun 19 06:15:07 EDT 2007

Hi, 

In 2.8.1 annoucement it warned: 
..I recommend you do a full install from the downloads page rather than
using your update button inside the program, as this version corrects a
number of issues with the installer/uninstaller, and you will not see the
benefit of this unless you do a full installation... 

So I did not experienced the problems that you describe. Still there was one
problem related with previous installs of SQLite. The way to fix this is
described in quality report 5140:

All the best

Hi everyone, 

anyone having problems with the 2.8.1 installer? 

I had a previous install of 2.8 (gm1, 2, 3, 4 - all too buggy to be used) 
and decided to test the 2.8.1. 

First the custom install path c:\app doesn't work. 
second the default path c:\app\revolution enterprise wont work either! It 
refuses to install where the old versions is even though the folders are 
not named the same! 

3rd, the installer creates not 46MBs of data as advertised but 90 MBs! 

Then 4th, the app doesn't launch, when i check, the rev exe is only 32KBs! 
No wonder it didn't ask me for my license... 

And when i try do redownload the thing it stalls... And resume downloading 
doesn't work either! 

Naturally, the 5th time works but the old folder again is disturbing the 
install... 

Finally the install works! 

Then i try the "update" in the help menu and it tells me GM2 is available 
(but the download is still gm1). When i try to update the engine tells me 
my license is expired! 
But my license is from 2007!!! WTF? 

Can someone shed some light on this?
