Shine Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 My secondary HDD with LDD installed on it recently died. I got a new drive, but when I go to install LDD I get an error with "You cannot update LEGO Digital Designer with an older version." I'm obviously not trying to update anything since LDD isn't installed in the first place, and even if it was it'd be the same version as the one I'm trying to use now. Anyone know how to get around this? Quote
Gnac Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 This is probably happening because the application data/support folders are still on your main drive. I don't know which OS you're using, so take a look here for the paths to "preferences.ini" and if the path exists, nuke it and try installing again. Quote
Shine Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 I deleted the folder, but still get the same error. Is there anything else that would have gotten put on the main drive? I'm using Windows 7 if that helps any. I did figure out why it's getting called an older version though. Turns out the download from lego,com is for version 3.4.6 while the latest is actually 3.4.8.

I'm using Windows 7 if that helps any. Eh, I'd hoped that messing about in the registry wouldn't be necessary, since the version number is in preferences.ini, but... I did figure out why it's getting called an older version though. Turns out the download from lego,com is for version 3.4.6 while the latest is actually 3.4.8. ...this explains it. I really thought LEGO's webmonkeys would have sorted it out by now. Quote
Shine Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Yup, that was the problem. Using the 3.4.8 installer worked just fine. Thanks for the help. Quote
