--> I've tried to reproduce the problem by doing the following on my Linux box:
* Using "Options|Install-addons", I installed the FOP, XEP and XFC add-ons (+ the Batik add-ons required by FOP). * I restarted XXE to commit the installation. * I configured FOP (Options|Preferences, Add-on|FOP section) to use the standard Windows fonts (in an attempt to make things worse by creating a FOP configuration directory in XXE_user_preferences_dir/). * I restarted XXE to commit these preferences. * Using "Options|Install-addons", I uninstalled the FOP add-on. ======================================================================== Note that there is just a single (not ``three or so'') FOP add-on. This add-on is called "Apache FOP 1.x XSL-FO processor plug-in". Having ``three or so'' FOP add-ons is abnormal and is almost certainly the cause of your problems. ======================================================================== * I restarted XXE to commit the un-installation. As expected, it worked fine. No warnings whatsoever. --> Unless you have changed the location where add-ons are installed, the FOP add-on should installed in XXE_install_dir/addon/fop1_foprocessor/ (or fop1_foprocessor-SOMETHING/). Please confirm that this directory contains a file called __REMOVED_XXE_ADDON__ Now deleting the whole XXE_install_dir/addon/fop1_foprocessor/ directory by hand should fix the problem. If you don't find XXE_install_dir/addon/fop1_foprocessor/, please try with XXE_user_preferences_dir/addon/fop1_foprocessor/. --> For an unknown reason, XXE didn't succeed in deleting directory XXE_install_dir/addon/fop1_foprocessor/ when you restarted the app after uninstalling the FOP add-on. Please tell us: * which version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7) you are using, * where you have installed XXE, * where the FOP add-on has been installed (XXE_install_dir/addon/ OR XXE_user_preferences_dir/addon/), * which add-ons other than FOP you have installed (MathML? JEuclid?). so we can try to reproduce the problem. maxwell wrote: > On Fri, 02 Apr 2010 19:31:23 +0200, Hussein Shafie <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Uninstall all the add-ons which are not really needed.
