skates Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Upon installing the vectorworks 9.5 update the renderworks portion of the program is not accessible. I have re-installed the package with no success.The program was installed with both serial numbers and at re-installation renderworks did not need to be installed because the information was "already on my hard drive".

mike46 Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 it may be installed in the wrong directory ? I had a similar problem going to 8.5 and had to reinstall rw in vw directory Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 If you are installing the web based installer, mke sure you have VW and RW 9.0.1 installed to the correct locations. Run the 9.5 web based installer making sure you have entered the appropriate serial numbers for VW and RW. When you get to the screen that selects the components you wish to install, make sure you see RenderWorks there and there is a check mark next to it. Please note, you cannot move the RenderWorks folder information and RW Library from the VW 901 folder to a VW 9.5 folder. You must go thru the installation and install the RW components The best thing to do when you are reinstalling software, is to remove the current version of the "bad" install and start with a clean fresh install. I recommend removing VW 9.5 installation - both VW and RW and reinstalling a clean install. [ 01-28-2002: Message edited by: Katie ] Quote Link to comment
TiTaNiuM sAMuRai Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Just out of curiosity, why are many of the files locked after being installed? I've had to uninstall half a dozen VW copies, and the files must be unlocked before they can be deleted from Trash. Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Tip: hold down the option key when emptying the trash and you won't have to unlock them. Quote Link to comment

Try:- Make sure you have a fully operational VW901 folder- Run the updater. In the updater, put in the serial number for the product you are updating (VW Architect, basic VW, etc)- Select the working 901 as the source directory, and install the 950 update into a new directory You should then have independent 901 and 950 folders, and don't need to manually copy anything between the two.
