Problems Installing or Running the program?

I've been using Beersmith for a year or so and love it!!! Just installed the program on a new computer and everything is running OK apart from inventory. When I try and print list it comes up with the following error:

19:44:55: D:\Google Drive\My Documents\Homebrew\BeerSmith2/Reports/bsxtmpx_20799.html: file does not exist!
19:44:58: File 'D:\Google Drive\My Documents\Homebrew\BeerSmith2/Reports/bsxtmpx_20799.html' couldn't be removed (error 2: the system cannot find the file specified.)

 
This is unfortunately a known bug.  The workarounds are to go to Options->Reports and set the "print to browser" option or going to File->Save as CSV to save the file and open it in a another program.  I am working on a fix for the next release.

Hi All,

I have a few problems getting the software to run after the install, the errors I get are shown below in the correct order:

BSDocument::Init Can't create BeerSmith/Reports directory

21:29:16: Directory 'BeerSmith2' couldn't be created (error 5: access is denied.)
21:29:17: Directory 'BeerSmith2' couldn't be created (error 5: access is denied.)

Any help appreciated.

If you can get the program to run at all try creating a directory for your BeerSmith2 data such as Documents/BeerSmith2 on your main user account.  Then go to File->Change Documents Directory and change the documents directory from the current path (which looks to be wrong) to the directory you just created.  That should fix the problem after you then restart BeerSmith.

All good now Brad, logged in to the admin user, uninstalled, removed all registry keys, re-installed and works fine on Admin user, won't work on other users but I can live with that.

Thanks
