Glitch in installing RoboFont 3.2b

elle

Hi Everyone,
I've used RoboFont previously (a student version) & have been trying to install the new 3.2b but I keep getting odd error messages (see below) - has anyone else had this problem? I'm reasonably new to the program but had it installed on my studio computer with no problem, now when I try to install the new version on my laptop it won't work. I thought it might be a license issue, but I purchased a new one & the error messages are still coming up.
Any thoughts? Any help is much appreciated!!

Hi @gferreira ,

hello @elle,

these error messages are from old (pre-RF3) versions of Mechanic and ShapeTool extensions.

to upgrade your extensions from RF1 to RF3, try the following:

launch RF3 in Safe Mode (press Shift when clicking the application icon)
uninstall all installed extensions (in Preferences > Extensions)
download and install Mechanic2
use Mechanic2 to install extensions

hope this helps!
