Mark Glodfelter Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I can not seem to install 9.1. I've tried the update from the program as well as downloading directly from the website. On both instances the installer opens up and then suddenly quits with nothing installed. I don't even get the Accordance window to come up. Any ideas?

Ron Webber Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Sounds like a permissions issue. In your Utilities folder launch the Disk Utility application, select your hard drive in the list on the left and click the button to Repair Permissions.

If so, quit that first, then try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Glodfelter Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Thank you Ron. It was Spell Catcher. I have no idea how it even got on my computer. I don't even have the application. I greatly appreciate your insight on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 It would be nice if Accordance would update and use the latest version of VISEX, it would take care of this on-going issue. Can Accordance do this? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Tom: We had been holding off upgrading to the latest version, as major upgrades often cause more problems than they solve, at least until the bugs are worked out. We recently tried it, though, as it claimed to have some good features and (as you claim) fix the SpellCatcher conflict. If I recall, 9.1's installers were even made with 4.0. As noted here, 4.0 doesn't even seem to solve the SpellCatcher issue. It has also, as unfortunately expected introduced innumerable bugs and made our installers much less reliable. For now, until they clean up the pervasive bugs in 4.0, we are going to have to keep using 3.x. A few of the features are nice, but it isn't worth problematic installers costing us time and money and poorer user interaction, and it doesn't even solve the problems. So, for now, SpellCatcher will continue to be an issue unless that developer fixes it from that side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 For now, until they clean up the pervasive bugs in 4.0, we are going to have to keep using 3.x. Certainly understandable. I will forward a link to this thread to Evan @ SCX. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbogert Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Certainly understandable. I will forward a link to this thread to Evan @ SCX. Tom I have downloaded the 9.1 updater through the Accordance update, through the website, and from MacUpdate. Nothing works. It decompresses to the desktop and then just adds an icon to the dock and just sits there. Whoops - finally. Must have been the tenth try. Not sure why, but I rebooted and then tried it. This time it installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
