1.4.0.1: No configuration possible

Post by Dominik »

As I had problems configuring Thunderbird with Birdiesync 1.3.0.2 (working without Admin-rights), I installed 1.4.0.1 today. But with this release I can't configure Thunderbird. When I try this, I can't select any calendar or other item, even browsing to the Thunderbird directory isn't possible. No reaction at all.

I returned to 1.3.0.2 and "opend" one Registry-key to the restricted user and now ist works.

If you use a restricted user account, you had to install BirdieSync under an administrator account. Then you must launch Thunderbird under the restricted user account and a wizard should launch to help you configure BirdieSync. Was it the case ?

It is only possible to configure the calendar if the Thunderbird profile was well defined. Maybe it is a consequence of a problem with the configuration of the profile.
Are you saying that the "Select" button to select Thunderbird directory was not working ? Was it greyed out or not ?
Maybe an error occurred during the startup of the user interface. I would have been interested in getting ThunderbirdService.log or a snapshot of the JavaScript console to know more about it...

Nothing was greyed out and I could press the "Browse" Button without any reaction. When I pressed the "Use current Thunderbird" button, nothing happend too. But I can see this only under 1.4.0.1, under 1.3.0.2 everything workes fine afther I opend an Registry-Key to be written by the restricted user.

Could be, but for this I have to reinstall the 1.4.0.1, or is it OK with 1.3.0.2?

Hier the statments:

The logs and the JavaScript console would only be relevant with 1.4.0.1
But if you prefer to stick with 1.3.0.2 I would understand...

I made some tests again with a restricted user account, but I don't succeed in reproducing the problem.

I will try 1.4.0.1 next weekend again and then I'll send some log-files to you.

Many thanks.
You can send log files, preference file and Javascript console snapshot (maybe this one will be important) to support mail address.

Today I tried 1.4.0.2 and installed it as Admin (not by "Running as", for with this the installation routine could not detect my PDA). Then I switched back to restricted user Session and everything worked.

I think, installing using "running as" Admin won't go for now.

But for me, everything works fine now - Thanks and registration fee payed!
