People,
I just tried to upgrade from 1.53d to 1.62i on a Win2k pro w/s
machine. My Mail database folder is directly under 'My Documents'.
It contains about 2k messages, almost all in one account.
I did the over-install as suggested on the download page. Here's what
happened.
Initial install of 1.62i over 1.53d:
- setup ends, TheBat! tries to run, shows the logo for about a
minute and then quits.
Save HKCU\Software\RIT to a .reg file then scrub and re-install
from scratch:
- ran OK but with empty mail database folder in the default
location.
In Options, change the mail database folder to "...My Documents\BatMail\":
- back to the show-logo-hang-and-quit behaviour
Restore *only* the software registration string from the saved .reg file
(in case there's some limit to how much mail the unreg'd TheBat!
will happily look at)
- still shows logo, hangs, quits.
Scrub 1.62i, reinstall 1.53d, quit when Setup starts asking
questions about TCP/IP setup, restore HKCU\Software\RIT from the
.reg file
- 1.53d works as it always did.
Has anybody else experienced the same? Is there a secret debug
switch on the command line that'll tell me what 1.62i is doing
for the minute it's alive?
Cheers,
timM
