alpha 15 version of Marvin Beans ver 4.1 wont install

I downloaded version 4.1 (alpha 15) of marvin beans with jre and the installer fails.

Can you give us more info about this issue?


Have you got any error message?


Did the installer start?


What was the destination directory where you tried to install?


Have you got writing privilege to that directory?


Are there any installed Marvin Beans on your machine?

I tried on 2 different machines (win2000, winXP) and both gave the same error. I am an adminstrator on both machines so write access is not the problem. The installer starts, says it is initializing, the green bar moves to the right, and the an error box with no explaination shows. I have Marvin 4.04 on both machines. I have attached screenshots.





A different question: If install the new version will I have to re-enter the licenses for the plug-ins?

Please remove the previous version of Marvin Beans before you install the new one.


The installer does not allow more than one installed version of Marvin Beans.


In this case, the install stops and drops a warning message. We will check why did not display correctly the warning message window.

No, the old license keys should work automatically. However, the new version may contain new plugins which require new license keys - if you purchase those then you should enter the new license keys. In Marvin 4.1. we have a graphical license handling tool which makes this procedure easier.
