Error # 1255130899

Shane Chaplin · August 21, 2008

Any time I try to install Zotero 1.5 it fails to do so and on restart of Firefox it gives me the same message:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIFile.directoryEntries]" nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/schema.js :: _migrateUserDataSchema :: line 1583" data: no]

Any suggestions?

This is a known issue, fixed on the trunk. As a workaround, create an empty 'storage' folder in your Zotero data directory.

I have a similar problem, but I don't understand what you mean by creating an empty 'storage' folder. There is already a storage folder, which holds all of my files. If I try to create another one, the computer won't let me have two folders with the same name in one directory. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

thanks, James

jagwilson: You shouldn't get that same message if you already have a storage folder. Send in an error report, start a new thread, and post the Report ID there.
