Installing Valentina

[Kay C Lan]

Hi John,

I've not used Reports but have successfully installed Valentina ADK
for Rev and Valentina Studio. I'm pretty sure you don't need to
manually enter anything into the external file, Step 2 as outlined by
Ruslan takes care of all of that.

Having said that, I've regularly had problems with upgrading Valentina
and have developed a 3 step procedure that has so far worked well for
me. The problem I encounter seems to stem from old files left behind
from previous versions and this is hilited when doing step 2 of the
install the Rev Valentina Installer stack reports that it was unable
to write/create certain files because they already exist. The 2 step
process is perfect for a virgin install, so my procedure is simply to
remove the old files so the install is more like a virgin install.

Step 1 is the same as above.
Step 2 is I've created a very simple stack with a single button that
contains this script:

on mouseUp
   revDeleteFolder specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/My
LiveCode/Externals/Database Drivers/dbvalentina5"
   revDeleteFolder specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/My
LiveCode/Externals/v4rev.bundle"
   revDeleteFolder specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/My
LiveCode/Runtime/Mac OS X/Universal/Externals/Database
Drivers/dbvalentina5"
   revDeleteFolder specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/My
LiveCode/Runtime/Mac OS X/Universal/Externals/v4rev.bundle"
   beep
end mouseUp

Pretty straight forward and self explanatory.

Step 3 is the original Step 2 above so now run the Rev Valentina
Install stack which should now report that EVERYTHING was successfully
installed.

If you manually went into those folders referenced with the
revDeleteFolder you would discover that they'll will now contain the
latest version of the Valentina driver/bundle/file.

Hope this works for you.
