0 Ray Libby Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Did you reinstall? Quote Link to comment
0 Mike Smith Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Yep, I've tried reinstalling VW and Mac OSX. tried both SP1 and SP2 in vw. I've noticed a few other people have had the same problem but I can't seem to find anybody with a solution. Cheers Though Mike Edited January 2, 2009 by Mike Smith Quote Link to comment
0 islandmon Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 This issue could be a simple permissions problem. Try running Disk Utility or Onxy. Quote Link to comment
0 Mike Smith Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I've tried fixing permissions in disk utility and the problem still occurs. Is there a UK support number I could ring. Quote Link to comment
0 Ray Libby Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Where did you buy it from? I believe this is the UK distributor: http://www.vectorworks.uk.com/vw/index.jsp Quote Link to comment
0 Guest jkelly Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Was this the first time you ever attempted to load this program after installation, or did this just begin to happen for you? Where else have you seen others reporting this problem? Could you email me the InstallerLog.txt file? Quote Link to comment
0 Chris Hey Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I have the same problem I had my machine repaired by apple (2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Book Pro running 10.5.6) I then had to reinstall all my apps but cannot get Vectorworks 2009 SP 1 & 2 past the XML library message VW worked fine before the repair. I am suspecting that it is related to the fact that I am probably installing it over a later version of the system software. What I mean is that when I first installed VW I would have been on the current system i.e. prior to 10.5.6 now I have reinstalled the system and then got it up to date then started to install my applications including VW. If this is correct I could start again but not update the system until after installing VW. If this sounds like a viable plan I would be interested to know. Note I can install VW 2009 SP1 & 2 on an older machine with no problem and I have tried the new user suggestion. Quote Link to comment
0 Guest jkelly Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'd suggest the same thing as before, email me the InstallerLog.txt (don't post it here, it contains your serial number). I'm not sure what the problem could be, but that might hold a clue. I doubt it has anything to do with the 10.5.6 update. Quote Link to comment
0 SCD Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm a new user of Vectorworks and have encountered the same problem as described in the first post. Has there been any resolution? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
