Install not possible (because of profiles?) [SOLVED]
Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 1:00 pm
Hi,
I tried BirdieSync before it was possible to sync mails, worked fine.
Now on a new computer, I reinstalled Thunderbird and modified the profiles and paths because 1) I use TPM and wanted my mails on a secure and backed up drive and 2) My wife now wants to use her mails on my PC.
The new BirdieSync with mail sync is not installing. It told me during the process that Thunderbird must be closed in order to install a new extension. (I translated the french message, so this is probably not the exact words of the english install procedure).
Of course, TBird is not running, I verified in Task Manager. But I have the same kind of problem when trying to lauch TBird when my TPM is not initialised and that it don't find profiles. So I guess it is due to the profiles path not well used by BirdieSync.
Two profiles in TBird : Gerard & Aurore.
Content of profiles.ini :
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=Gerard
IsRelative=0
Path=T:\Documents\Gerard\ThunderBird
Default=1
[Profile1]
Name=Aurore
IsRelative=0
Path=T:\Documents\Aurore\ThunderBird
I hope you will find what is wrong and that I will be able to use your wonderful app'!
If you need anything else, just ask.
Regards,
Gérard.
