Re: Messed up upgrade from 1.2.2 to 2.0.1

You'll want to do the following in order:

kill GrowlHelperApp via Activity Monitor

open System Preferences

right click on the Growl entry

choose remove "Growl" Preference Pane

launch MacAppStore.app

click the purchases tab

click the install button next to Growl

open /Applications

locate Growl.app

launch it

Hi, 

Today I tried to upgrade my installed Growl 1.2.2 to version 2.0.1 from the App store. I didn't uninstall first, but just bought the new version from the App store. I got a warning saying did I want to upgrade it and I said yes. So far so good.

The App Store says it's installed. But when I go to the Pref Pane, Growl says it can't start. When I look at the About tab, I find this is still the pref pane for 1.2.2. If I try and uninstall, I now get a message saying that the "security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers".

Oddly though, Growl does seem to be running! I've just had a notification through Postbox that seemed to go via the Notification Centre and then a notification from Skype using the old Smoke theme.

How can I sort this out?

Thanks
