Re: st: RE: xtivreg2 error message "optionproperties() not allowed"

[Wolfgang Keller <Wolfgang.Keller@Colorado.EDU>]

Nick and Austin,

thanks. Discard did not solve the problem. -sysdir- did reveal a number of directories, some old.


. sysdir
   STATA:  C:\Stata8\
 UPDATES:  C:\Stata8\ado\updates\
    BASE:  C:\Stata8\ado\base\
    SITE:  C:\Stata8\ado\site\
    PLUS:  c:\ado\plus\
PERSONAL:  c:\ado\personal\
OLDPLACE:  c:\ado\

But I've searched and deleted all ivreg2 files now, installed ivreg28 again, as well as xtivreg2 -- and it still says

"Error - must have ivreg2 version 2.1.15 or greater installed"
when I try to run xtivreg2.

Any more ideas?
thanks, w
