First Impressions Count

Posted by Brian Thu, 17 Dec 2009 19:55:35 GMT

First impressions are important and Teamworks 7 makes a terrible one. When you install the express edition it defaults to creating a directory at the top level of your C: drive. No problem you think, I’ll just move it into Program Files where it belongs. After installation completes you will be in for a surprise though. You won’t be able to login and there will a very odd error in the security log. It turns out that one of the batch files to populate the database at the end of the installation does not escape the install path to allow for spaces. You only get one chance to make a first impression and when that chance is blown it requires more effort to overcome it. We’ll see how Teamworks 7 goes from here.
