Re: [Dx4win] Updater Not Updating
I just checked for updates and the country update appeared. I did the update and all is well again. Why??? Checked my other win 10 DX4WIN computer which also wasn't getting the country update. Checked and Country Files appeared ready for update. Installed and all is well on that machine. Checked WP4OXA and it's now USA and not Puerto Rico. Don't know why others received the update much much earlier.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4win Updater
Regarding the Norton and Avast issues: I have located the pages on their web sites to submit a program which is causing a false positive (for a virus). I will be submitting the *next* version (9.1) after I release it. I am going to submit both the installer, as well as the Updater program itself. I will probably have to do this every time there is a new release of the Updater. I may have 9.1 in the next couple of days. There have not been any reported bugs, but I will be adding a couple of improvements: 1. Changing selections (only) under Master Callsigns and/or Membership list will rebuild that database, even if there were no changes to the source files. If you change from "some selected" to "none selected", the Updater will build an empty file. 2. If a custom membership list is desired, but does not exist, the Updater will bring up an empty file in a text editor so you can create it. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C,, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] DX4win Updater
Not sure if this might help or be a red herring but I was almost about to send a sorry it doesn't work. Win7 here. The Microsoft run-time library was not on the computer. My first attempt at installing the Microsoft run-time library failed, I knew it failed because it did not complete. It was however now in the list of programs on the computer so I uninstalled it, rebooted the computer and with no other programs running ran the install again, this time it completed and now v9 of Jim's updater runs fine. I have also installed Microsoft run-time library and v9 of Jim's updater on an old XP laptop and it all works fine there too. So am wondering if the first failed attempt installing Microsoft run-time library was because I had other programs running on my computer. Certainly after the reboot and on an idle computer it installed without a problem and that is all I did different. No expert, could be a red herring, all I know is now I am a happy camper again. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -Original Message- From: DX4WIN [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Wednesday, 25 January 2017 6:29 a.m. To: w...@arrl.net Cc: dx4win@mailman. qth. net <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DX4win Updater On Tue, Jan 24, 2017 at 10:06 AM, WO2N wrote: > Hello All, I may have deleted the answer, but what's the fix for > latest version *NOT* opening?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN Updater bug with ARRL NPOTA
Hi Folks, I just discovered a bug with the ARRL NPOTA and the DX4WIN Data Updater. The updater did not download the latest list, because the first event on the calendar spans many days: Death Valley National Park NP15 AI6KU 2016-02-26 23:00:00 2016-03-06 14:00:00 As a work-around, go into your DX4W###\UPDATE folder and remove this file: get-10-day-activations-api.php You will also have to remove the Membership list and Calendar files from these folders: SAVE => DX4WIN.CAL DX4W### => DX4WIN.MAS2 When you re-run the Updater, you should see it download the ARRL NPOTA file, and also re-build the Calendar and Membership lists. I will try to come up with a bug fix this weekend. 73 - Jim AD1C p.s. I was getting errors this morning on AGMemberList.txt from eQSL - just ignore these. -- Jim Reisert AD1C,, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] Updater Program
I would like to thank Jim and all who gave me suggestions. To resolve my problem was to download v7.10 of the program and install it. I was using V6 Now all seems to operate as expected. I did not know, by installing the program it would create all the needed directories Thanks All, Tom WA2PNI __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] Updater
Fair enough on keeping notes in the version history, good idea and I did notice there was no link. I wouldn't have asked about it if 7.01 didn't say it was downloading a new version and that it would be installed next time it ran. That is a bug in 7.01 that is (will be) fixed in 7.02: Bug fix: fixed installer so the program doesn't try to update itself the first time you run it It affects anyone in times zones to the EAST of Colorado, all the way to the Int'l Date Line. The bug, as it were, is actually in the way the installation program was configured, not in the program itself, and should only happen the first time one runs 7.01. It will (should not) happen with 7.02. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win Updater
Bob The file dx4wupdexe must be in the same folder as the file dx4win.exe I am sure you have tested that. If you have created a short cut, please right click on it and choose properties. In the run line could that be set to minimized? (sorry if I have put in the wrong names, I am running a DANISH Windows) And have you tried to right click on the updater program and choose run as administrator?

[Dx4win] Problem Installing the DX4WIN Updater program
I am having a problem installing the DX4WIN Updater program. Here's what I have done I have gone to this page: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/updater/index.html#install and followed the information in this paragraph: * If you have not installed the Updater program, click on this link to download a ZIP file containing the Updater Program and configuration files, and follow the installation instructions below. Quick Start * Download the ZIP file from the link above (where it says, Click on this link to download a ZIP file). * Unzip the entire contents of this file into your DX4W### directory, so the dx4wupd.exe program is in the same directory as dx4win.exe * There will three new directories: dx4win6, dx4win7 and dx4win8. Copy the dx4wupd.rc file from the directory that corresponds to your version of DX4WIN, into the DX4W### directory (that contains dx4wupd.exe). * Double-click on the dx4wupd.exe icon to run the updater. Following the instructions provided in the Quick Start paragraph I clicked on the link and the following file was downloaded:: dx4wupd_v6.07_20130729 Next, I followed the instructions in this next paragraph: Installation After downloading the ZIP file from the link above, extract (unzip) the DX4WUPD.EXE file (program) to your DX4W### directory. This is the directory where DX4WIN.EXE can be found (when viewed in Windows, there will be a dx4win Application and a dx4win Icon in that folder). Do not put it in your SAVE directory or anywhere else. When the Updater Program runs, it will check to see if it's installed in the correct directory. When I extracted or unzipped this file to my DX4WIN directory I got a file labeled only as Setup, not DX4UPD.EXE as in the paragraph above and this was the only file included in the zipped file. I tried to delete this file and the following warning information (asking if I was sure I wanted to delete this file) was displayed that gave the name of this file as DX4WIN Data Updater Setup; File version 0.0.0.0; date created 7/28/13; 4.6 mb. I ran this file and it placed a new (Updater) icon on my desktop but clicking on that icon had no effect. Nothing happened. I'm not sure why I can't find DX4UPD.EXE using the links provided in the instructions. I am using Win 7 Home Premium, 64 bit version and using DX4WIN v8.05. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Is there another copy of the updater already running? If it's running but not showing up on your desktop it's possible that you just need to open the window running the updater. I'd try alt-tab to see if you can open it, followed by a reboot to see if it works afterwards. 73, -Rick On Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 9:29 PM, Thomas Schwinn w4...@bellsouth.net wrote: Hello all, I tried to start the DX4WIN Data Updater program this morning but was not successful.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN UPDATER PROBLEM
I had the same issue with a new update. It is the fullist.xml file that is causing the problem. Delete the file in the save directory and the program should run ok again. Jim, for some reason the latest update with fullist.xml was the problem I had here. 73 Wayne WA1PMA On 4/15/2012 5:41 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: 1.Invalid at the top level of the document.

Re: [Dx4win] Dx4Win Updater
Jim, I do run the computer on LOCAL time so no issue there. Everything I see is that I am **running** the current version of 4.6. I did just try and deleted the file from the UPDATE directory and run the program again. Still the same thing. Always asks to update the Updater program. I think what I will try next (I'm running out of time right now) is to just delete all the updater files and start again with a fresh download of the DX4WIN Updater to see what happens. I'm guessing somehow I got something mixed up with the older 4.4 version in the newer 4.6 version. I'm not a computer person so it would not surprise me if I messed up something there :( I do have one other question right now, When asking about wanting to update the updater .exe file it gives you three options. Y | N | R. What does the R mean?
