Re: [LegacyUG] New feature!

[Cathy Pinner]

Bill,
You'll likely have more problems if you don't update as the security 
certificate is about to expire and has been updated in this 339 update.


Many people have updated with no problems. If you are used to doing 
Legacy updates you should have no problem though may need to pause your 
security software during the actual installation.
If you get the Windows screen  Windows Protected your PC, click on the 
More Info link and then the Run Anyway button.


Another thing it's worth doing is right clicking on the installation 
file (if you are updating by downloading the file from the website and 
not using the link on the Legacy Home tab) and choosing to Run as 
Administrator.

I’ve read so many posts about issues users are having. Is it safe to 
upgrade to the latest version? I’m not that great with solving 
problems even though using Legacy for several years.

Christopher,

Nothing in the update could remove the FS IDs from your family file.
However, an update can sometimes change some settings including 
Options > Customise 1.2 which controls which file is opened when 
Legacy opens. That may have happened and a different file to the one 
you normally use has opened.
Check by using the Recent File list. The Recent File List is found by 
clicking the L top left corner of the Legacy screen if the L is larger 
than the title bar. If it isn't, you'll see a System Ribbon tab and 
it's on that instead. It depends on the Design Style you are using.

Make sure you are using the right file in the right folder.

Re: [LegacyUG] Windows Defender

[Cathy Pinner]

Jack,

I wonder if you need to empty your Internet Explorer cache/Temporary 
Internet files - and yes I mean Internet Explorer as a form of that is 
used for internal display of websites. If you've uninstalled Internet 
Explorer, that could be the problem I guess.


Also try deleting this folder: "...\Documents\Legacy Family 
Tree\_AppData\LegacyHome"
There are settings on the Legacy Home tab that control how Legacy 
connects to the internet under the Options button but these are normally 
overridden by Click here ... so that's probably not the issue.

Thanks for your comments - .339 installed OK and running, but still can't

[Cathy Pinner]

Eva,
Next time just restart your computer. That closes any lock files that 
didn't clear properly when the file was closed.
The alternative, if you are comfortable with doing it, is looking 
through your Data Folder and deleting any files with an ldb extension. 
You have to make sure you are only deleting LDB files and not FDB files.

Make sure you have all other programs closed and then right click the

having DLL errors.

Re: [LegacyUG] If you are having problems updating

[Michael Christiaens]

Success! I noted in one of the posts that a recommended method to get the
339 update to install was to *run Windows 10 in Safe Mode*. While it was a
bit tedious to get it into Safe Mode, once I got it there, the Legacy
uninstall was trivial. This process avoided any issue regarding Windows
security.

Thanks for all the comments regrading this issue, one of which worked for
me.

Cynthia, there is no difference in the downloads for the basic (free) 
version of Legacy and the Deluxe version.  You simply install the basic 
version and then unlock the Deluxe features by entering your Customer 
Number (you get this from Legacy when you pay for the Deluxe version). 
Look for Unlock Deluxe in the File menu.

Re: [LegacyUG] New feature!

[Christopher Seward Sr]

Mine were. All things being the same outside of the update,  I would have
to conclude that it had something to do with it.

No. None of my links to people in FamilySearch were affected by the new 
version.

Is this "new feature" what's responsible for most of my links to people 
in FamilySearch being gone today?

[LegacyUG] If you are having problems updating

[Michele Lewis]

If you are having problems installing the new update, make sure all others
programs have been shut down first and run the installation as an
administrator. Right click the downloaded installation file and there you
will see Run as Administrator. This will knock out 99% of the problems.

No problem with me and correctly loads the web page for Legacy News in 
Chrome from Legacy Home, and can also run a search on Google.

That is a precautionary feature of Windows / Windows Defender - which you
have correctly responded to, Jack.

Windows Defender gives that response to any executable / installer that
hasn't been "marked" to enable an "over-ride". You can make an alteration to
Windows that always allows an installer to go ahead - but clicking to allow
installation is seldom a worry or inconvenience to me, so I leave things as
they are.

Long ago (7 years+) I abandoned all the paid anti-malware products, and the
free versions like AVG, because Windows for a long time has had more than
adequate protection via its built-in products, especially since Windows
8/8.1/10.

But in my opinion, anyone persisting with Windows 7 is foolhardy.

Went to the Legacy web site and downloaded the update. Windows wouldn't run
it as was blocked by Windows Defender. Managed to override this by "run
anyway". Updated OK, but won't allow any access to the internet when
running. Presumably there is a setting in Windows Defender that needs to be
altered. Tried a couple of them but these haven't cured it.
Any ideas?

I can't "check for updates" as the program says I am not connected to the

restarted my machine in case there was a glitch. Is there a problem at the
Legacy end?

Re: [LegacyUG] Legacy update still not working

[Chris Hill]

A 'File could not be locked' error usually applies when opening an 
Access database which the system thinks is already open. Access creates 
a lock file .ldb when it opens a file and removes it when it closes. 
The main Legacy database, .fdb, is actually an Access database and 
opening that will create the .ldb file. If it is still present after 
the program is closed it will stop the file being 'reopened'. Sometimes 
clears after a reboot or might to be deleted manually after a reboot. 
May also apply to the x~hdb.hdb and some of the various .dbm 
files that Legacy uses.

Chris

Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy update still not working


Hallo all,

I downloaded the update via my existing program (German). Download was
ok, the new version is existing on my laptop now. But when I try to open
the program I get following message:

Error Opening Message File  - Datei konnte nicht gesperrt werden

I never wanted to "sperren" (means lock) the data.

I tried the download again - without a firewall, nothing changed.

I don't know where to look for this message. Can anybody help?
