Hi!
I have been using Lightroom for a while and loved it.
when I tried to download the free trial today it won' install.
I got an error message that says
"Sorrry, Lightroom library is corrupt adn Lightroom won't open'

I have deleted the download and redownloaded it and it still gives me the error.
I am on a Mac and searched for the pxsetup file from teh other post and did not find one.

Anyone have any suggestiosn? I ahve an even tonight adn really wanted to use the slideshow function...Help!

You need to delete the download, delete the Lightroom library (the corrupt thing), then reinstall from scratch I think.

that allowed it to install but all my lubrary is gone and presets!
yucky

yeah - i'm hearing a LOT of people are having trouble installing. Sorry I didnt mention backing stuff up! I always do that stuff so it's like "second nature" now. I should've said that!

Um - as for the rest I hope now that it works you'll get back to where you were with it. Unfortunately this install thing is sometimes a pain!

presets are elsewhere, so I think they stay. the library even stays during the uninstall, you have to remove it, but the presets are in yet another folder.

Many seem to have it hang up whe indexing an old library, but someone went in and saw what it was doing and it was basically reimporting all that you did and cataloging everything, so it was working hard, and would take a while, but the progress bar and dialog box don't show that worth crap.

One thing to be careful of, beta allowed you to copy images into the lightroom library, in addition to the refrencing images at existing location, so if you delete the library, make sure theres no images in it. v1 doesn't have this problem.
