All Is Right With The World Again.
I had the good fortune of being able to talk at length with someone far more familiar
with these wizards than I could ever aspire to be.
Initial reviews of my install procedure and my own attempts to try to fix these problems myself
left us both stumped. Further discussions pointed to having both the old and the new
version of the NewFangled suit of wizards present in the same folder.
It would be better for me to leave it to the experts to explain it correctly but, since I was the whiner
that came her with the problems I feel a certain amount of obligation to try to explain what appeared to
be the cause of the issues I was having.
I ended up keeping the old and the new NewFangled suit folders in the "Addons" folder side by side.
In order to get the latest version to work properly I had to change the name of the old version. I simply changed
the name to "Old Version."
The name of the new version had to be changed as well. In this case the change was very minor. All I did was remove
the three numbers following the name, "NewFangled;" exactly as is instructed in the install procedures listed in one of
post on this forum.
Here's where it gets confusing to me and a description from an expert would be better. As I understood it, the information
needing to be retrieved from the NewFangled folders in order to carry out certain functions was being hindered somehow
by having both the old and new versions of the NewFangled suits with similar titles. I think. Just trying to describe it make
me even more confused.
The only way I could get the new version to appear to work was to leave both the old and new version in the "Addons" folder together.
In order to retrieve the information it needed to carry out certain functions, the NewFangled software was designed to search for that information
in a folder titled "NewFangled."
When I attempted to use the latest version of the NewFangled Wizards suit, and that software went searching for "certain information,"
it would search for that "certain information" in the folder of that old version of the NewFangled software because it was titled "NewFangled."
The latest version of the NewFangled wizards software wouldn't search its own folder for the information it needed because it was titled "NewFangled289;" or something like that.
I'm still kind of baffled by it all.
I'm just grateful to finally get it figured out and working properly. Now I can move on to breaking some tools and making some
metal shavings.
Many thanks to all who offered up support and just took the time to reply.
