Q: Reinstalling App from the AppStore wich is already "Installed"??

Hi there -

got the following Qestion.

 

I downloaded the Demo of an App for my iMac(App is called "OutBank" - but its not about the App itself) from the developers Website. Then I decieded that I like it and baught it from the AppStore. Since the Demo is a seperate Programm  I decided to not delete it (may be I could transfer some settings if done there?!).

Now here is the Problem:

I baught the App, the Download started (I even saw the Icon Apearing in the "Applications" Folder) but after the download the Icon just vanished.....

I Thought "well may be something went wrong"....so I went to the AppStore and wanted to Download the App again - but the App is Marked "Installed".....i searched my whole Mac, "By hand", with Spotlight - the App is NOT HERE. Then I thought "oh may be the Demo somehow is a Problem" so I deleted that one but i still can't download the App again.....

I found several Procedures with some "deleting this and that cache, then reinitialize SPotlight, then download again" - but that all did not work......

 

Any of you guys got an Idea???

 

 

Thanks for any input!

 

 

 

Ben
