Title: Patch installation
Post by: Draft Patrick on May 21, 2011, 07:43:55 AM
Last night I installed the 15.1 update
http://forums.turbofloorplan.com/index.php/topic,1735.msg7984.html#new

Two notes (I installed the update in my 2 computers (XP and Win7)

XP --> installation was OK --> when I opened the program, I received a message --> TFP was trying to open a file developed with an old version --> create new? convert? abort? --> this file is "Project1.bld" from TFP 15.0 and you need to convert it to 15.1 --> accept the conversion option
Win 7 64 bits--> the installation was a problem --> I tried several solutions, but just one worked --> install the update as Administrator --> it worked OK after this --> Also experienced the conversion file issue as described above

I will be glad to help with other installation issues

Pat

Thanks Pat,

I have found before that on Vista and Win7 installing as an Administrator was the only way and I always accept default locations for files too. Saves many potential complications.
