CS1 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have asked on an earlier occasion the method to delete the VW2008 program. 99% of programs have an uninstall feature or the ability to remove using the control panel. Since VW2008 does not I was told to simply send the Folder to the recycle bin which I have just tried. As i guesed it didnt work, instead it comes up with an error saying that various files are being used by another program. I have been told this is the reason that most rograms come with the ability to uninstall as only a handful of very basic programs dont lay there roots into other areas of windows. How can I remove VW2008 efficiently so I can reinstall on a different drive? Quote Link to comment

GRC Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) I have a MacBook Pro 2.33GHz. I upgraded from VW12.5 to VW2008. Afterwards I could not start the program. The first screen appears and then a message - "No valid serial numbers have been found, please enter one now." I entered the correct number numerous times and it repeats the same message. I called VW and spent an hour working with the agent uninstalling pieces and reinstalling VW2008. Same response. After several rounds of that, I did a clean install of OS10.5, installed VW2008 and got the same message. Whenever I install VW2008, the first or second screen shows my proper serial number, then disappears quickly as the install continues. Obviously, VW2008 doesn't like Leopard or VV. Frankly, I don't think VW knows what the problem is or how to fix it. I hope OS10.5.2 update will fix it. It to would be nice to get a frank admission from VW that they don't have a fix for this. Now I find that VW12.5 is corrupted in Leopard. When I snap a line, it is invisible until I release and the line becomes visible. Same for dimensions - the construction line is invisible until I release, then the dimension shows. I see from other posts that the problem exists elsewhere on this discussion board. BTW, VW2008 works fine on my Power Mac G5. Edited January 23, 2008 by SciMan Quote Link to comment
Damon Design Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Downloading 12.5.3 should fix the "invisible until released" bug on OS 10.5 Quote Link to comment
GRC Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Ted, Thanks for the heads up. It worked. Now if they could just get VW2008 going. Quote Link to comment
