Introducing the Widget Pack (Optional)

[Heather Laine]

Hi list,

We've looked into the issue with the widget installer, and it seems to be caused by a conflict if you already have some extensions installed. We will resolve this in an rc-2 shortly, but in the meantime, if you proceed with the installation, ignore the warnings, then restart LiveCode, and run the installer again, the widgets should install correctly for LiveCode Create/Classic 11. They are not compatible with LiveCode 10.

Best Regards,

Heather
