jEdit / Bugs / #3951 Install Error - cannot create folder (permissions?)

Alan.

Although working on the issue yet again for over an hour trying to
intuitively piece things together has now got me a fully updated jEdit - I'm
sorry to report now that I still can't attest that I've helped you solve any
issue.

Your question about which installer I used: I used BOTH several times. Back
a month ago when I reported the issue, each time I tried to update to the
new version I got the error that "jEdit couldn't create the folder" and that
was it. No further explanation. Additionally, as you may remember, I have
mentioned in the past that I hadn't been able to update any plugins for even
longer than that, so gave up trying.

Now TODAY, after receiving your latest question, I gave it another slog the
exact same way I had done several times before (using the windows
installer)- went through all the preliminary question windows (just as I
had done before) and finally got into where it should be downloading and
today it actually worked. I can only surmise that in the past month, since
I reported it, someone has either flipped a switch or made some alterations
cause nothing has changed on my end with either the computer or me.

However, with success in the program update, I again tackled the plugin
updates with the same problems I had had many, many times in the past. The
thing tells me that a growing number of plugins are outdated and need
updating, I select one or many, I press install and it waits for perhaps 30
sec before telling me several different things like it had timed out and to
try another mirror or connection refused etc. By accident today I noticed
"download options" and ran through those updating the mirror list. Many
were for North America and I tried multiple ways to install one small plugin
or several at a time, using each of the north American mirrors in turn from
the bottom up. Not one would work and gave the varied errors either almost
immediately or after 30 sec's delay.

But when, through sheer cussedness, I got to the Canadian link it
immediately took charge and had the whole thing downloaded and installed
before I realized that it was working!

So, the only things I can report is: 1 - the Windows installer does work
now, for the latest update of win 10, don't know what changed; 2 - that
needing to leave the update screen to manually hunt and change between
mirrors was not at all intuitive to me and was the cause of much of the time
spent in figuring things out for the plugin end of the problem; and that 3 -
Going back and forth activating each north American mirror in turn showed
that none of them actually worked; BUT the Canadians are doing great!

If others have struggled through troubleshooting their plugin update process
like I did (and I suspect there's got to be more than me), perhaps clearer
instructions about where and how to change mirrors (ie the button is not
labeled "mirrors" but options, and on a completely different page which
covers the former page) and that more than the average persistence may be
required might help us dummies through it faster - who can tell.

Thanks for responding. Even though your question didn't actually solve an
issue it led me to more persistence and trying again and I can now go back
to using jEdit for editing xml like I want.

OOPS SORRY! Another crisis: The XML.jar plugin crashes. It did install
without errors from the update page. However, the first time I opened jEdit
afer updating everything I got a crash error box that xml.jar gave a
beanshell error and couldn't be loaded!\

I've now tried several times to delete it and update it and continually get
the following error messages in the boxes: No idea what they mean, perhaps
you do.. So, I'm still up a creek now even further.

C:\Users\DJ\AppData\Roaming\jEdit\jars\SQL.jar:

Requires xml.XmlPlugin, but xml.XmlPlugin

could not be loaded.

C:\Users\DJ\AppData\Roaming\jEdit\jars\XML.jar:

Cannot start: java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Illegal/unsupported
escape sequence near index 3

C:\Users\DJ\AppData\Roaming\jEdit

Try updating to a newer version of the plugin.

Are you using the windows installer, or the platform-independent .jar
installer?

[bugs:#3951] https://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/bugs/3951/ Install Error -
cannot create folder (permissions?)

I have used jEdit for years on this machine but haven't updated it for some
time. Today I tried again and remember why. With latest updates of Windows
10 and Java on board - I can dowload the installers/exe of the latest jEdit
but when I run them it continually gives me (after running through all the
disclaimers I need to accept) an error that it "cannot create the folder" in
the program file for the 5.x version. Then asks me if I've got permissions?
I have permissions, as the sole owner and admin of the machine. I went in
and created the folder myself without error - BUT it still gave me the same
error message. Does win 10 not recognize jEdit as a "safe installer" or
something - I don't know what changed.

I've tried every setting/method I can think of - is there a bug in the
installer, or is there some special proceedure for installing on Win 10 or
something that I don't know about?
