[Dev] Help with chandler

[Aparna Kadakia]

Daniel,
The error message you have attached is seen when you have try launching 
2 instances of Chandler on the same repository.  Our repository now 
lives in a different directory than the Chandler install as you have 
noticed. On windows the default location is something like : 
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Open Source 
Applications Foundation\Chandler\uIQwZD4O.default
(You can look up more info on profile directory here : 
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/ProfileDirectory)
The idea is when you do a fresh install of Chandler it doesn't delete 
your repository directory so you could keep installing newer versions of 
Chandler to use against the same repository. Since our repository is 
still evolving, Chandler might prompt you to refresh the repository 
during install and that's something we have decided to live with for 
this release.
So the installer did the right thing by not cleaning up the repository 
directory..that's by design.
The real confusion is why the installer did not prompt you to refresh 
your repository during install and I am wondering if it had anything to 
do with repository having been corrupted from a previous use.

On a side note, the installer is being enhanced to deal to with old 
installs. That's bug 3191.

Thanks for your feedback,
