Post by J. P. GilliverIIRR there's the ICACL commands to run. And ideally there's also turn
off the autologin to Turnpike (so you have to "log in" to Turnpike to
use it, rather than just start it), and then turn that back off again
once the new setup is working properly), but I know I've moved TP more
than once without doing that. I think on discussion here you only
needed to do that if - something I've forgotten.

I believe that the ICACL commands may only be necessary if you install
TP under the "Program Files" directory, and they may not be necessary
if you install it elsewhere. By accident rather than design, when I
first installed TP on W7 I somehow put the data file folders under
C:\Turnpike and the program itself under C:\Program Files\Turnpike,
which is perhaps more logical. I then still had to issue the ICACL for
the stuff under C:\Program Files\Turnpike but not, I think, for the
data file folders. Doing it that way did make ensuring that all the
paths in the various .ini files were correct a bit more complex, though.
I used to have the prog. (and some .ini files) in C:\Turnpike, and my
data in D:\Turnpike (partitions on the single drive on a laptop). In the
hope that I'd retrieve my data, I actually bought a W7-32 machine (which
I'm very pleased with - best £80 I've spent for ages! (i3, 4G, 500G,
15+"; the make is "stone", which I'd never heard of.) Eventually it
turned out I was not getting my data back, so I should probably have
gone for Thunderbird or something, for futureproofing; however, partly
as I'd gone to the trouble of securing a 32-bit system, and partly
because I have muscle and other memory re Turnpike, I decided to stay
with it, even if I didn't have my old files. As such, it was thus a new
installation of Turnpike - I suspect the first one that's been done
anywhere for a long time! I installed it _all_ in D:\Turnpike; what you
say is presumably right, as I completely forgot about the ICACLS, but it
seemed to go fine. It came up as 6.07S, the Demon-only version, as
expected; fortunately I had a key, which I entered - it warned me the
databases would have to be rebuilt which might take some time (which of
course it didn't as they were empty). It then identified as 6.07M, and
has been working fine ever since, once I'd remembered/learnt how to do
things. A few slight oddities: Whenever I start Connect, I get a popup
window saying something like "you have an outdated demo version of
Turnpike; this should not affect its operation. Email
<something>@turnpike.com with subject <something> to <something>." (I
can't remember the exact details as I can only see it when I start
Turnpike.) This popup has an OK button, which I click and it then opens.
(I've sent the email it suggests, but don't expect to get any reply!)
The other two oddities: I used to, when I started Connect, find it
connected - straight into four coloured rectangles for sending and
receiving, mail and news. Now, I have to start Connect, when I get four
grey rectangles, then I have to click the 'phone symbol; anyone remember
how to make it start connected? And when I do that, only the mail ones
are on: I have to click the two Enable buttons to trigger news
sending/receiving. Again, anyone remember how to have these enabled by
default? (They go back to disabled whenever I close Connect.) No great
inconvenience, but it'd be nice to not have to do them - in other
words, when Connect is started, have it open as connected, with all four
rectangles not grey (ideally blue).
