I'm having a weird problem w/ trying to install Flashpaste on one of my user's machine. She's running Win2k.

When she tries to install Flashpaste 2.5, she's prompted w/ "You must close old version of Flashpaste before install! Close it and hit OK."

However no instance of Flashpaste is running. In fact, her computer doesn't even have Flashpaste installed. I've checked Task Manager, and don't see Flashpaste running in the processes.

Has this happened to anyone else?

hi,

I did answer you by email. Did you receive my message ?

hm, this is very curious. I'll check it on Win2k, thanks for the message.
Please, tell me what version do you want to install (lite or pro, or
both) and I'll create special build for you, without this check.

Hi

I had another installation problem. Let me go trought the complete experience, because I like the program..

- Installed FlashPaste. Selected Norwegian interface text (although I'm running an English version of Windows XP). Added some entries and so on ...

After reboot, the FlashPast installation program started ... going trought the installation setup again ... did not find it in the tray, but program did run in background ... invoking it by the hot key ctrl+L (the actual hotkey I use is ctrl+å) did work.

It turned out that there where no entries in the database ... and no Norwegian interface text.

Added some new entries ... then hit Save ... then Reopen database. But still nothing ...

Tried to open the database file manually. The file did not exist - and neither did the %USERPROFILE%/Application Data/Flashpaste folder.

Then added the Flashpaste folder manually -> now database file could was saved fine (I have the following files in that Flashpaste folder now, common.txt, and flashpaste.cfg).

Some criticism:
- I like the simplicity of Flashpaste. But you should be able to assign hot keys to you entries.
- Bad thing abvout the Lite version is that you are unable to make folders and then cannot arrange your.

hello,

It seems that install can't create the Flashpaste folder in the Application Data. When you made it manually it ok. I'll check this.
