Latest version for Mac?

Did you completely uninstall the previous version?
(When I messed around with different installs in different locations, I sometimes got a wrong version number, like if it was caused by remainders of another install.)

No, because it didn't tell me I needed to. I'll try that next.

[edit: Just now I completely uninstalled SU (so far as I know how - moved the application folder to trash and emptied), then downloaded a fresh image from the Trimble site, and it still says it is 8.0.15157. Is there somewhere else that it could be leaving cruft behind that I need to clean up? I hate it when there is no clear-cut uninstall!]

Thanks
Steve

I just used Pacifist to examine the disk image I downloaded from Trimble, and the info.plist in the package says 8.0.15157. This makes me think that the problem isn't on my end!

I just pulled one down from here and I get
%(#0000FF)[SketchUp 8.0.16845, 2012 Trimble Navigation Limited]
maybe it's where your getting it from

I followed that link, downloaded the package (yet again) and inside it the Info.plist still says 8.0.15157. Are you downloading the free or pro? I wonder if just the free is broken?

Thanks

I downloaded 'free', knowing that's what you want...
and that clipping was from the contents info.plist (via Pasifist)

maybe... Clear all SU downloads, I have had issues with it grabbing the previous version to auto open?

That was a different link from Aerilius's that I used...

If by that you mean to Trash them, I did that. This is getting really spooky! Plus, it is also SU itself that proclaims 8.0.15157 after I try to wipe it completely (following the instructions on the Trimble site) and start afresh...

Yep - I followed the link you posted and still got 8.0.15157. How is that possible

Alas, gone to 404 before I got there, but thanks for the try.

As an experiment, I downloaded from the Trimble site using a Windows box (selecting the Mac version of SU, though) and I still got 8.0.15157. I beginning to wonder if there is a network cache server somewhere holding onto an obsolete version?

[edit: the second time I tried, your package was there! Thanks! I'll let you know if it works!]

driven

I can still get the dropbox download??
did you try download as, that should bypass any cache

That package finally worked! Now I'm more convinced than ever that something between me and Trimble is caching an old version. I wiped Safari's cache, so that shouldn't have been it. Something really strange is going on, but now I have 8.0.16845 again. Thanks a ton!

glad to be of service, I'll close those links now...
