Hi Armand,
A few quick questions to help troubleshoot this issue:
What operating system are you running Toad on?
Were you able to successfully install and run Toad 12.5 GA?
Do you have any restrictions placed upon your computer by your IT department?
Do you already have a Dell folder within your roaming profile directory? Is the folder, or any files in that folder, read-only?

What operating system are you running Toad on? WINDOWS 7
Were you able to successfully install and run Toad 12.5 GA? WAS NOT TESTING 12.5.
Do you have any restrictions placed upon your computer by your IT department? I am sure I do but I am an administrator on my laptop. I also install your public releases to my laptop without errors.
Do you already have a Dell folder within your roaming profile directory? Is the folder, or any files in that folder, read-only? No Dell folder in my roaming profile.

Hi Armand,
Okay, Windows 7 is good.
The reason I asked the second question was because Toad 12.5 with a valid commercial (non-trial) key is required in order to use Toad 12.6 beta. Also, if Toad
12.5 has been successfully installed, run, and licensed, that gives some additional information about the read/write status of your roaming app data folder. Your second and third answers seem to contradict themselves. Were you able to successfully install
and run Toad 12.5?
The errors you’re receiving suggest perhaps one of following:
The installation folder somehow got corrupted either during or after the installation.
a.
There should be a “ClientFiles” folder underneath Toad 12.6’s install folder which has additional files and subfolders.
b.
If these files and/or folders are missing, you might need to reinstall the beta.
Toad was unable to create its subfolders underneath your roaming app data folder.
a.
For Windows 7, the base app data folder will typically be located in: c:\users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Dell\Toad for Oracle
b.
If this folder doesn’t exist, try manually creating the subfolders. If you aren’t able to create them, or you receive prompts to enter a password
to make changes to that folder, then there is a permissions issue on your computer. Try right-clicking the Toad icon and selecting “Run as administrator”.
Toad was unable to copy its required files (from option 1 above) to your roaming app data folder.
a.
Perhaps try right-clicking the Toad icon and selecting “Run as administrator”, even though your account may have administrative privileges.
If none of these issues solves your problem, I would try reinstalling the beta. Let us know if anything here solves your problem.
Thanks,
-John

We’ve had a few toad world beta users today comment on problems with the new 12.6 beta. As has been said, the toad 12.5 commercial install must be present - and with a valid 12.5 commercial key (not a trial key). Since toad 12.5 no longer accepts the old toad key format from many years back, you must obtain a new format key - or the beta is not going to work. The beta requires a valid commercial key from the most recent prior release and the latest release no longer accepts old keys. So get the new key - don’t try to use trial keys. For those who are not entitled to a new key - then your beta days are over.
I do have the 12.5 installed and it installed without any issues. I am not using it because of issues it currently has.
Can you provide me with the contact information of someone that I can discuss my license with? When I click on Help / Licensing it says my Key Type is Permanent.
Two blogs to read for answers on licensing chnages:
www.toadworld.com/…/toad-for-oracle-12-5-is-coming.aspx

Note that this second blog shows you how you can tell if you are using old license keys that won’t work anymore - plus has the link to licensing support portal:
Thank you for posting the licensing links. I have checked my license and it does appear I do have the new licensing.
Toad for Oracle 12.6 BETA is now installed on my laptop. How? By following your instructions: If this folder doesn’t exist, try manually creating the subfolders.
c:\users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Dell\Toad for Oracle
For what ever reason, the install program did not create those folders on my machine.
For future reference, the following info is available here:
Help | Release Notes | Product Licensing
License keys compatible with Toad for Oracle 9.7 and earlier versions are no longer supported.
To upgrade your key:
Go to ** Help
| Licensing** to find your license number in the current version of Toad.
If not explicitly listed, it may be included as part of the Site Message associated with your key.
Example: ACCOUNTNAME-nnn-nnn-nnn.
Go to the License Key Upgrade page: http://license.quest.com/upgrade.
Enter your e-mail address and your existing license number, and follow the prompts.

Hi Armand,
Those folders won’t be installed by the installer. Toad should automatically create those folders when it starts. I’m not sure why Toad didn’t create those
automatically on your machine, but I’m glad you were able to get it up and running again!
Let us know if you run into any other problems.
J
Thanks!
