Installing Guide 8 to the hard drive
Bill J Gray Jan 30, 2002
Hi folks,
One other problem has been cropping up with installing to the
hard drive:
Suppose you attempt to do this with the original software,
toggling a slew of items to be installed. It fails. You then get
the new software from the Web site, click "Extras... Install to
Hard Drive." It looks as if all the items of interest are already
checked, so you click "OK". And... it still fails.
The problem is that Guide is bright enough to see that you
didn't toggle anything, so it assumes nothing has really changed.
It's _not_ bright enough to realize that the previous install failed.
To get around this, toggle _something_ to persuade Guide
that, yes, it needs to check everything out. You can go back
later and toggle that something back the way you wanted it.
It looks as if the patch is actually working... there were just
some people confused because the earliest version of it still
required double-clicking, and some more confused by the above
problem. I've gotten slews of e-mails on the topic, but (at least
so far) it seems that any problems have been in those two
categories.
I'll be holding off on sending a revised CD to be replicated until
Monday, though, just in case anything interesting crops up.
