Re: [Dx4win] Update Help Needed
Jim and David, Thank you for your emails. DX4Win is allowed through the firewall and is installed in "C:\Ham Programs". I have 3 PC's all with DX4Win running. After the power glitch this morning, I did a fresh install of DX4Win V9.03 which is the latest on the website. No matter what I tried I kept getting the error message when I check for updates after I did a fresh install using 9.03. So, I did a fresh install using a previous download of DX4Win 9.01 and all works fine. I have no idea what the issue is with the 9.03 version on the DX4Win website. I have done all the updates, so now all 3 PC's are running 9.04.1176 and update works fine. 73, John K9EL -Original Message- From: David Kozinn, K2DBK Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 3:19 PM To: 'Jim Reisert AD1C' ; 'John Sweeney' Cc: 'DX4WIN Reflector' Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Update Help Needed I agree with Jim, and specifically, I believe the specific file is http://www.dx4win.com/files/updatesv9/update.INF. You should be able to pull that up in a browser. If you can, and if you still get the error inside of DX4WIN, it's likely the Windows firewall blocking the application. -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 4:10 PM To: John Sweeney Cc: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Update Help Needed On Tue, Nov 13, 2018 at 8:57 AM John, K9EL wrote: I have one problem - I cannot use the update feature in V9.

I suspect your anti-virus/firewall isn't allowing DX4WIN to access the Internet for the purpose of updating. I believe the "control file" is on the server, not part of the DX4WIN installation.

[Dx4win] Update Help Needed
Had a computer crash this morning due to a power outage (Don't say it - I know I need a UPS). My DX4Win install was corrupted. I re-installed in a new directory and have all my files, log, etc. I have one problem - I cannot use the update feature in V9. When I click on Help - Check for updates, I receive this message: "Update control file not found Update not available" Does anyone know where this update control file is located? Or even the name of the file? I have DX4Win running just fine on 2 other PC's. 73, John K9EL __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
