No need to uninstall. v14 will install in a new folder. But what is probably happening is that v13 is still running and Macro scheduler is set by default to only allow one running instance at a time.

So, simply Exit v13. (File/Exit, or exit from system tray menu) and then start Macro Scheduler 14 via the new shortcut under Start menu.

If yuo still have a desktop shortcut to v13 you can change or delete that.

Import v13 macros to v14 by using File/Import and select the Macro Scheduler 13 folder in My Documents (unless you used a different location).

Once you are happy you can if you wish uninstall v13.

Old scripts not working w/ v14x

Post by catbox » Wed Dec 11, 2013 11:34 am

Ok...I now have version 13x and the newest 14x on my computer. I can go into v13 and run my scripts, but the same scripts are not working correctly in v14. I have imported the v13 scripts into v14.

First error is it isn't seeing my WindowAction name, so I changed it and it likes the updated title change and moves past that initial issue...the scripts is running, but it is not running correctly. My scripts were created w/ Standard ed. using the MacroRecorders along w/ other conditional statements and navigation through the GUI (using TAB & Enter, and Excel).

Is there a reason why the script works w/ v13 (just ran it) and not w/ v14.0.18?
