[Dx4win] Fwd: W3LL DX4WIN Will Not Start

2022-02-04 Thread Bud Governale
Here's how the country.dat issue was resolved.

As the Administrator, the country.dat file was removed from the DX4WIN Save
folder.
As non Administrator a 01 February 2022 country.dat file was copied into
the DX4WIN Save folder.

This different country.dat file allowed DX4WIN to start normally with no
issue.

I suspect during the DX4WIN "Check For Updates" process the country.dat
file was downloaded and installed in DX4WIN as a protected file. Just a
guess.

Hi Paul,

The country file was not removed from the save directory.
Country.dat 2/3/2022 6,536 kb is still in the save directory.
I cannot delete or change it.

If I switch to administrator I can run DX4WIN.
BUTI never ever remain as administrator.

How do I fix this?

Bud,

Your country file was removed by a virus checker;

You likely have an older copy in your Backups sub-directory.
Copy the file country.dat to the Save sub-directory.

Tell the virus checker to ignore the DX4WIN directory

Start DX4WIN

to DX4WIN, bcc: me
When trying to start DX4WIN I get an Error Message saying;
"Failed reading The Country File".

When I hit OK to the above error message I get another window that says
"dx4win.exe"
An Error Occurred In The Application.

Click on the bug report.
The Bug Report says Exception Number 1
Exception Class EAccessViolation
Exception Message: "Access violation at address 00404CA6 in module
"dx4win". Read of address 04fC.

This failure to start last happened in April 2020. No one had a solution
that worked. Had to do a clean reinstall and lost too much in the Save
folder where I stored the info need to preserve access to LOTW and other
important information.

Hopefully more than two years later there is a fix to get running again
without starting from scratch,
