Upgrade major trouble

Traceyr — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:57:03 GMT

I tried to follow the instructions to upgrade from...1.8.6? I just bought it in May. I can't check now because BigOven is completely gone from my machine! I think my recipe boxes are still here, but the program itself is not, and I can't "click the link" it told me to click under help because it's gone, 100%. Is there a link or something where I can redownload it? I bought the Deluxe version, only installed it on this and one other, and the other one had water dumped on it last week!

New Version not compatible w/ Win98.

promfh — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 01:25:50 GMT

I got the update info when I opened up the application. After reading through all the warnings about doing a full uninstall/reinstall I did a backup, downloaded the new version and installed it. Unfortunately all I get now is a message box, "BigOven expects a newer version of Windows. Get a newer version of Windows."

I'm not terribly surprised that it no longer supports a 16-bit OS. BUT, I'm a bit surprised that the upgrade info didn't warn me about it. I would have updated the version on my (WinXP) laptop and left the older version on my (P3, 900mhz) desktop.

Of course this is an incentive to get off my butt, get out my wallet, and upgrade my desktop machine. I just wasn't quite ready to do it this weekend.

Users: DO NOT change location of My Big Oven Recipes folder during install/update

fireblue98 — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 18:42:04 GMT

After installing update, I encountered problems with importing from BO.com and other websites, deleting recipes, "losing" new recipes & recipe boxes, and other issues posted on this board.

During install I had changed the location of My Big Oven Recipes folder from the default (shared folder) to My Documents. Even though we are given the option to change the location during install, Big Oven did not like it; thus the problems mentioned above.

I uninstalled & re-installed, allowing the MBOR folder to be put in the default directory, and now everything works just fine.

If you are experiencing any problems with importing, deleting, pictures, "losing" recipes, etc., and you did change the location of the folder, I urge you to uninstall, re-install, and allow it to go to default location. Hopefully it will work for you as it did for me!

Two questions: menu planning and upgrades

tracebooks — Sun, 10 May 2009 23:42:32 GMT

Hi,

I'm really excited about BigOven, but I'm not sure it will do what I want it for, so I only have the trial version yet.

One thing is menu planning. I'd like to be able to specify a range of dates and see that range's menu, rather than just a day or a month. If I want a Wednesday to a Wednesday, I'd like to be able to have that right in front of me.

The thing that keeps being mentioned about saving a menu to reuse would be great, too. My goal is to have 18 months of completely different menus saved. I have used a menu planning service in the past but my own needs have changed, and I can't find a service that will send me the kinds of meals I need to cook, so I'm doing my own.

One thing I'm needing is to be able to email recipes together with menu plans and shopping lists, because I'm helping my mom, who has glaucoma. She has software to read it all to her if I can send it in an email, or she can still use huge fonts. Can Big Oven do this?

Finally, is it $20 a year for upgrades and bug fixes? I know Big Oven does so much and so many changes were made the first couple of years, but when I look at the changelog now not much has happened recently, and that seems a bit steep, especially for bug fixes. I'm thinking maybe I should wait for BO 2.0.

Don't get me wrong: I want Big Oven, and I want it now. But there are things I need it to do!

Recipe Boxes do not show in BigOven after updating software

hchavez — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 05:41:19 GMT

I just updated to BigOven Deluxe 1.8.891. Now all of the Recipe Boxes I had created are missing from the BigOven screen. I can still navigate to a recipe by drilling down to the folder where all the Recipe Boxes are located, and the recipe will open, but the Recipe Box still does not show up in BigOven.

I checked, and all of my Recipe Boxes are in the same folder - both the provided Recipe Boxes (which ARE showing up in BigOven) and all of my Recipe Boxes (which are NOT showing up in BigOven).

How do I get ALL of my Recipe Boxes to show in BigOven - they were all there until I updated the software earlier today.

Thanks!

How do I update Big Oven software. I cannot find any links.

update link doesn't work

Had to reformat my disk and reinstall Big Oven. Whenever I try to access the update link, I get the "Page not found" message. Any solutions?

Update Error

jdandkitty — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 21:24:29 GMT

I'm using Vista 64 bit and I haven't had any problems with BigOven until now. I'm using v 1.8.977 and trying to update to whatever this link is:

http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/145719-6E45/bigovenupdate.exe

I keep getting this error I think from Install Shield:

I see other people had Installation errors but maybe didn't provide this much data to fix the problem?

I have tried scan disk, restart, etc.

Can you help?

Do you expect an update to run the mobile companion on windows mobile 6?? I installed the program on my phone, and its not compatible the the new version...

New version -- no release notes?

vogelap — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 16:30:48 GMT

There is a new build of BigOven (1.8.977) but there are no release notes in the changelog (http://www.bigoven.com/changelog.htm). I like to read the release notes while installing the upgrade!

So, what's changed?
