We recommend that you use this beta in preference to your store version if you are affected by any of the issues listed below.

Staff AdamW Posted August 1, 2019 Author Staff Share Posted August 1, 2019 Hi Jens Krebs, I see you have offered to share documents with us that demonstrate some of the issues you are having, and as far as I'm aware this has not been followed up. I'll ask someone to liaise with you to retrieve anything you can give us that may be useful. (Apologies in advance if this has already happened and I've missed it).

A_B_C Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Adam, is it correct that the new beta comes in a .zip archive instead of a .dmg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sorry at the moment our automated dmg maker is not reliable so this is a simple zip file of the Beta .app, to be unzipped and put into applications over any existing customer beta.

jrkay Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 For some reason this Beta will only offer to repair or uninstall my 422 version. To install 442 wil I have to uninstall 422 first? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To install 442 wil I have to uninstall 422 first? It should do so automatically and silently. If it offers "repair/remove" options then you are running the same install as you have installed (either a 422 installer with 422 already installed or 442 installer with 442 already installed I cannot tell which) Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

jrkay Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I uninstalled 422 and I was then able to install 442 and it's working fine now. Thanks Patrick John Patrick Connor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
