massive Installation Problem

Hello all,

I have a prob with my Revolution Studio Installation on linux .

I had a working and registered installation but the programfolder was located in my home directory what is not optimal.

So i tried to move ( in fact copy) the dir to /opt/ to have it in a proper place.

Unfortunately now revolution just gives the Message :

Your installation of Revolution seems to have been corrupted. Please re-install.

I did. I did twice. Nothing worked. I deleted everything Revolution-related stuff from the disc ( home-dir/.revolution) as this includes the license file.

So does anybody has an idea what to delete so that a fresh unzipped copy of revolution studio does not request to be re-installed ?

Thanks in advance,

Helmut

Dear Helmut,

What do you mean, "nothing worked"? What happened, what did you see?

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark,

the same error dialog appears again when i try to start the fresh unpacked (installed) revolution IDE.

So do you have an idea why this stupid program think it is corrupted? Are ther any further files (run.lock e.g.) I should remove ?

Which version of Linux are you running on Helmut?

hallo andy,

thank you for your attempt to help. I think the version of my installation is not relevant, because it was up and running on this machine. Never the less, I use kubuntu 8.04 with kde 4.0.4.

As I saied it worked and i think the prob is not my system. In the terminal window revolution does not claim any missing stuff, it just appears the revolution) message box I have described in my first post.

I assume a licensing problem, so I have to remove everything from my machine...

thanks in advance,

Helmut

just a little bit to fast...

the licensing dialog appeared, i filled it out and that was the last that worked....

It asks again for reinstallation (under KDE) or simply no wondow appears (Gnome) -- not so good.

Has anybody an idea that somethin further than the listed requirement are necessary to run 2.9.0 ?

Thank you

Helmut

starting as root works, starting as normal user fails ...

I think this is not the right behaviour. I remember I was able to start it as normal user without sudoing.

Does revolution has an special requirements concerning ACL or permissions of some devices so that the user has to be member of any special groups ?

Thanks again,

Helmut
