Re: [BVARC] DVMega and BlueDV software install question
Bruce/Walter, Thanks for the input. There was no option to run as admin on the msi install file, but i did open my cmd prompt as admin and attempt to run from there and it failed too. I talked to w5akc in the side, sent him the file, and it installed without issue on his win11 box. The only prompt i get thats editable is the initial location of the app to go to program files, which I’m ok with. The error I receive says it cant write temp files. Ive installed the appl before but on an older box (either win 7 or 10) about ~3 yrs ago, so it does appear to be a “problem with my set”. I’ll email david in NL soon and see what he recommends. I’m running win 10 pro and tried all three versions (beta etc) available so I’m certain its probably just micro$oft just trying to “protect me”… Thanks for validating that its just me. 73/Chris AC5CM Typos brought to you by iPhone On May 12, 2023, at 20:39, Bruce via BVARC wrote: You will need to right click on the file you want to run and select "Run as Administrator".

You will need to right click on the file you want to run and select "Run as Administrator". Even though you are the administrator, Microsoft decided it was best to confirm that you want to run it as administrator. Don't ask me why it just works when you do it. 73...bruce On 5/12/2023 7:47 PM, Walter Holmes via BVARC wrote: Chris, I don’t use the DVmega dongle, but I use the ThumbDV dongle, as well as 4 other Ambe servers I have setup here, all with BlueDV.
