What was the exact error ??

This version is compatible with both vB3.6.8 and vB3.7 (developped under 3.6.7 ).

I don't understand which problem you could have had during install everyone got it working

[BozzaJos]

You did make a backup before starting the upgrade?

Regards Jason

[maidos]

vbdev can you explain why ?

[Jenkins]

it appears that the maxosx directory is causing the problems with the zip file for windows users. or at least that's what it seems to be. I can unzip 1.2 with no issues, but 2.0 is still giving me problems

You have forgot to send a screenshot with all lines expanded (smilies and editor).
