When I try to check out 1.12.0.7 it says I need a new version. I say yes, and it tells me it is already installed. Reinstall or No... no matter. Try to log in again. No luck. Is the autoupdater screwed up or was I just too late on my curiosity?

Dolph,

It sounds like you did the same thing I did. Scroll down on the download page and make certain you're downloading v1.12.0.7, and NOT using the autoupdater. <See below.>

To quote:
NOTE! The 1.12.0(2) and 1.12.0(3) viewers had a known issue where the auto-updater software reports an error that previous versions cannnot be updated. You must download a new version by hand and install in the regular manner in order to use versions higher than 1.12.0(3)!

Yes, I freely admit I didn't read everything I should have before downloading. My bad.

Hope this helps.

This is still a problem.

I did a clean install (downloaded 1.12 preview direct from LL about an hour ago.) It'll run if I answer "Yes" when the installer asks if I want to run it now, but if I quit and try to run it from a new shortcut that I made, it gives me some guff about needing to download a newer version, ad infinitum. This is after uninstalling the old (1.11) preview and installing 1.12.

Hi,

Preview switched grids when 1.12.0.9 was released over a week ago, please download and install the client from the preview download page to connect to the siva grid and not the older aditi grid.
