[8.02] Installation Manager under Windows ..

[marten]

I installed the manager code for 8.02 under two machines - my home machine (without 8.02 beta) does an import without problems, my netbook (with 8.02 beta) does not allow to import the new code. All stuff is grayed out (and I hope I used the correct va802_mw.zip file). Any ideas ?

If a previous version of 8.0.2 (like a development build) is installed, this is the behavior of the Installer. You need to do an Uninstall of the V8.0.2 Manager before trying to do an Install. If you have deleted the directories already (so that Uninstall fails), you will need to delete the registry key (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Instantiations\VA Smalltalk\8.0\manager) that identifies that the manager is installed.

That means, that I have to import the stuff manually, right - via the importer tool .... because I mainly have an accumulated repository (with 6.01/6.02/7.52 and 8.0 versions imported).

Yes, that's sort of what I do with our builds. I do the Manager Install so I have a clean mgr80.dat (for one kind of testing) and then I import it into my development manager (which goes back pretty far).
