simon3142 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2010 Hi all I have successully installed TMG 7 on a Windows 64 bit home edition Dell XPS PC. Mostly it works fine but there are a couple of things that don't. Back up, I get a message that the ZIP file is locked by another application. Check for updates fails becuase " the updater is not properly installed". Can anyone help with these things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Virginia Blakelock 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 You may get that ZIP file error message if you are making the backup directly to an external medium. Try making the backup to your local drive and then copy the .sqz backup file to your external medium. The solution to the 'check for updates' problem is here: http://www.whollygenes.com/forums201/index...ost&p=38140 Virginia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
simon3142 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks, the mysterious fix for the update problem worked and an update was successfully applied. However after applying the update I now get a message that" the Exhibits folder was not found, do I want to use the default?". I didn't get it when I first ran TMG on the new PC. If it helps, I transferred the old TMG data folder across from the old PC rather than rebuilding from a sqz file. Unfortunately the backup problem is not solved, I was backing up to my internal drive. I do use separate data backup software so it is not too serious, but I would like to get TMG backup working.

simon3142 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 Some supplementary into about the Exhibists folder. TMG is looking for a path on the old PC, so is there a way to fix the path to the exhibits folder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terry Reigel 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2010 You change the Exhibits path in Preferences > Project Options > Advanced. You may want to change the other paths there to match your new machine as well. The reason you didn't see this initially is that TMG installs with default paths that fit the machine. But each Project includes its own paths, so you can assign separate paths to each Project if you like. So, when you moved your existing Project to the new machine it still contained the paths from the old machine, which commonly, as in your case, are not valid on the new machine.
