License Key is Invalid

Hey Mouser--

I'm having the exact same problem: first time I've seen it happen when installing a new FARR. "Failed to save license key information; check to see if you have permission to write to the application directory." it says. I have full write access to my hard drive!

While I'm at it, may I request that you put some more "smarts" into the installation process? I tried to install FARR v1.09.04 while a previous version was still running. Normally, most installers would detect this and automatically close down the current TSR. But FARR just gave this cryptic "cannot delete file" message. Took me a couple of tries before I realized I had to manually close down the old FARR tray app first!

Even stranger: when the first installation failed, I thought I had to manually uninstall the old version first. But when I went to the Add/Remove Control Panel applet, the entry for FARR was gone! So the aborted install seemed to remove the entry first.

Hope this helps.

Carl

mouser:
thanks for the reports.

ok, clearly i messed something up with license key for last version, though i can't for the life of me figure out what i did - i really didn't touch that part of the program..  ill try to have a new version out in the next couple of days.  i've spend the last 2 weeks working on donationcredits and new forum stuff every waking hour that's why i havent addressed this yet.

regarding smarter about when app is still running in the tray, you are very right. i need to add that to the setup program.

Centauri27:
Oh--and one more thing: I tried your manual registration method by creating the *.dat file in the FARR folder. The results are somewhat uneven: when you run the FARR tray helper afterwards, it still shows the generic "enter a license key" text--no sign that it recognized the license key. But when I run the standalone app, the Help | About shows my full registration info.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Thanks again for creating such a wonderfully useful app. I can't imagine using Windows without it!

Cheers.
Carl

mouser:
i wonder if this is a clue to the problem..

mouser:
ok i'm going to try to fix this now - it's a bit tricky since the problem doesn't happen for me.

does anyone out there have the problem still (or can make it come back) who can help me test new versions to help figure out when i fix it? (if you can meet in irc channel even better! #donationcoder on efnet).
