Greetings,
Suitcase Fusion for Windows font vault problem. Version 6, Windows 7. However the version of Windows, or Mac OS, or version of Suitcase matters little since this has been an ongoing problem forever.
Once again ran into the remove font vault problem. See posted image.
This came about as I was upgrading from Suitcase version 5 to 6. As suggested, I moved my font vault to a different location (desktop) and planned to move it back with fonts intact after my upgrade. When I tried to open my new install, it wouldn't open. The message: 'Could Not Open The Font Vault At This Location'. The vault seems to be locked by some other process and also the leftover fonts that are there.
I've tried numerous ways to remove the vault and these leftover fonts. I'd like to give you a concise list of what all I've tried but I've been messing with this so long I've lost track.
I've searched the web numerous times for help. Extensis support only gives the same tips they've been handing out for years – none of which work.
I've rebooted many times after attempting different voodoo medicines. Uninstalled/reinstalled Suitcase. Still, can't remove the old font vault and it's remaining fonts.
Font's that remain in the vault count: 93 entries
C:Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Extensis\Suitcase Fusion\Suitcase Fusion.fontvault\SA\I\OTPS\Adobe Systems\Caliban, Eurostyle (various), Helvetica (various), Myriad Pro (various).
C:Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Extensis\Suitcase Fusion\Suitcase Fusion.fontvault\SA\I\OTTT\Microsoft\Mistral\2.10\1602175480\Mistral.TTF
I've tried changing permissions/ownership. File Assassin . . . . The next step is to sacrifice my dog.
Any ideas appreciated,
Keith
