Hi,

when using the Setup Wizard on HM2īs first startup, I canīt continue when it asks me to select the database name and folder. Neither the default path nor a custom one enables the "Next" button.

Uninstall (or if there is no option to, delete the c:\program files\holdemmanager2 folder) and redownload and install a new copy:

did that, same problem
not sure if thatīs related, but the default path hm suggests, i.e.
c:\Users\PeFro\AppData\Roaming\HoldemManager\Datab ase
is a junction I created via mklink and points to d:\users\...
donīt think thatīs it though, especially since that shouldnīt be relevant when I set the "right" path myself

This is the first install? Or do you have an install prior?

What is mklink?

Workaround: check "Use default" box and uncheck back

thatīs the first time I tried to install it, so never got further than this
mklink is a symbolic junction
NTFS symbolic link - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS_symbolic_link)
but I donīt wanna confuse here, it is very unlikely the problem
what exactly is the condition thatīs required to enable the "next" button?

Tried again today and the problem disappeared. Played around with a few things (low disk space etc), but unfortunately couldnīt figure out what exactly changed since the bug appeared :(
