5.2 upgrade fails with "Error 2705" message

Post by ctallis »

Hi - I have 5.0.3 installed, and when I try to upgrade to 5.2, get the following:

Error 2705.Invalid table: Directory; Could not be linked as tree.

More details...

The dialog behind the error dialog (the normal installation one) says: "Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard for TextPad 5", and the final line says "Computing space requirements".

You could try searching for ShellExt.dll or ShellExt32.dll files, and delete any that are not relevant to your current TextPad installation. If that doesn't work you could try uninstalling 5.0.3 before installing 5.2.

I hope this helps.

Un-/Re-install worked

And my prefs stayed, which was really all I was worried about. Thanks!
