Well, it appears version 12 installs itself in a way that those older
installers don't recognize. The only work around at this time is messy,
but it works:
1. Uninstall writelog 12. It will ask to restart. You MUST restart
before continuing to the next step.
2. After the restart, install writelog 11....(you see where this is
going) You need a FULL kit to do so.
3. Find the Legacy Installer Helper and use it to install the
WLCM_DL1EFD_080414.exe...and
any other older modules you want.
4. install WL12...and, unless you have recently purchased a WriteLog
upgrade (which gave you a WL 12 FULL installer), the only installer
available to you that will work is the WL12.01U3 on
http://writelog.com/downloads/writelog-versions. This will ask to
restart. You MUST do so.
5. Now install WL12.02....
Messy, but works.
I know we need to "do something". Please be patient.
