Full Version
-
This is the Full Version of Logger32 version 3.46.0 which is intended for New Users
-
This package is intended for new users of Logger32 or those attempting to upgrade from a release earlier than the last release.
- WARNING:
-
Effective release 3.24 the default directory has changed from
C:\Program Files\Logger32 to C:\Logger32 This has been done because of Vista and Win7 issues
with virtualization and the \Program Files directory.
- If you are a new user:
-
- If you are a Vista or Win7 user, read the notes below
- Run SETUP.EXE to install Logger32
- If you are upgrading from an old version:
-
- Before installing this software, with Logger32 running, you must
- Export all your logs in ADIF format.
- Zip your logbooks and user files using the leftmost two buttons on the Logger32
toolbar.
- Note the name of your Logbook (it is on the header of the Logbook Page Window)
- Stop Logger32
- Run Setup.exe - Make sure you install Logger32 in the correct directory (the same
directory as your previous installation).
- After installing this package, run Logger32 and verify the correct version is
running.
- Stop Logger32
- Delete your four Logbook files (the filename is as noted in step 1c). A logbook
consists of a set of four files filename.ISD, filename.ISF, filename.ISM
and filename.ISL
- Run Logger32 again.
- Import the ADIF file(s) you created in step 1
- If there are errors during the ADIF import, correct the errors in the BAD.ADI
file, rename the file and re-import.
- If you have more than one Logbook, repeat steps 7, 8 and 9 for each Logbook
you exported in step 1a.
- Suggestions for Vista and Windows 7 users:
-
- Turn UAC OFF. Vista/Win7 has a very annoying protection system
which keeps popping up messages asking you if you really want to do something.
This is known as the (U)ser (A)cess (C)ontrol and is best turned OFF if you
want to maintain your sanity. Review the Vista/WIn7 help system to find out how
to do this on your machine.
See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off
- Logger32 should be installed in a folder directly off the root such as
C:\Logger32 (the installation default).
- The CW Machine (in software mode) does not generate sidetone correctly under
Vista or Win7. PC freezes and/or BSOD have been reported. Turn off CW side
tone.
- Installation Error:
-
If, during installation you receive an error message similar to: "Cannot find
the source file C:\temp\@IOTAIsland23.isd to install OR - "Cannot continue
installation because the following is not found: c:\temp\logger32\\@mmtty.exe.
The path and filename are NOT critical and will change from user to user.
-
The critical point is that the missing file is prefixed by the @ sign. This results
from previously failed installation attempt in which Windows incorrectly
uncompressed files into the Windows directory. Search your Windows directory and
delete any files with the Logger32 or Logger name and then try the install again.
