When I launch the EXE it sees I have a existing XLobby installation. I'm not sure if this is because of the XL PL7 installer that has given some registry settings or that it is just looking for Prog Files/XLobby. Either way the next screen gives me many options.......Partial or Full UPDATE....or new install to another directory (kinda like I did before with PL7 where I put it in XLobby2). If I choose Partial or Full UPDATE it does not give me a selection for a directory to install these updates to....however, when I continue and see the extraction/update going it is clearly loading to C:\Program Files\Xlobby....not C:\Program Files\Xlobby
2 My thought was since "XLobby" (FREE) was not really installed (folder just copied/created) to just save/move it off to some temp directory name. Thus, under Program Files there would only be XLobby2 which was the one installed from PL7 installer....run the new EXE again and see.
UPDATE:Well, I moved & renamed my Program Files\XLobby directory (which contains my XL FREE) off to MyDocs. I then re-ran the 2.0.7353.3 installation EXE. It still saw I had a
installed XLobby installation (must be from PL7 2.0.7291.1 previous installer and registry I assume since I moved the XLobby FREE one to MyDocs
with name change). Anyway, it gave me the options to Install (basically blow away my current install and start over), Partial or Full Update (the latter meaning Default Skin is updated too) and also "Keep & Install". This last item is what I used to install the 2.0.7291.1 into Program Files\XLobby2 awhile back....since my XLobby (FREE) was in Program Files\XLobby. Anyway, I decided to proceed into this option and soon saw it asked me for all my media directories....clearly meaning it was not seeing my defaults and/or was going to blow them away. So, I backed out and went into Partial Update. I ran thru it and sure enough it created a NEW Program Files\Xlobby directory. It did not update Program Files\XLobby2 directory...to confirm I ran XL from Xlobby2 and it still was 2.0.7291.1.
CMhadrwick, is your directories setup the same ? Are you sure your updates went somewhere else than Program Files\Xlobby directory ?
So, I've rolled back my machine to previous state (thanks goodness for Norton GoBack). My only thought is to move XLobby directory, rename XLobby2 to XLobby, run partial update....hopefully updating my XLobby2 in XLobby "named" directory, then again rename this updated XLobby directory back to XLobby2....move back my previous XLobby FREE directory to XLobby and see if all works.
Let me know if you think of something else or how you achieved....I must be missing something simple. I would have figured the installer would let you point to the installation you want to update ?
After all this I may be motivated to say bye-bye to XL FREE.....however, still think the installer/updater should allow you to point to the directory you want the installation/update files to go.
