[Dx4win] 7.04 Installation problems on a new computer

[Roger Marrotte]

Guy,

I just tried installing to C:\dx4w704 and it did not work.  So I uninstalled
Dx4win again and deleted all associated files and directories.  I then tried
again, installing to C:\dx4w704 and then tried installing to the default
directory C:\Program Files\dx4w704.  Both instances gave me the same
problem.  So I uninstalled dx4win again, cleared all files, etc.  I then
reinstalled to the default C:\Program Files\dx4w704 directory.  I then
recovered my old dx4win directory from a backup disk and placed those files
into the C:\Program Files\dx4w704 directory on top of the just installed
files.  Vista wouldn't let me recover to the Program Files directory
directly so I had to recover to the desktop and then move the files to the
Program files directory.  I then ran dx4win and all now works correctly.  It
works but I'm not happy!

You just have to love VISTA!

Roger, W1EM

Uninstall dx4win
Reinstall DX4WIN in C:\DX4W704 and move your key in that directory B4
running the first time This should slove your problem

Onderwerp: [Dx4win] 7.04 Installation problems on a new computer

I've had Dx4win 7.04 running without any problems on a Windows Vista machine
for quite a while.  It was installed in c:\dx4win\dx4w704 to avoid the know
Vista problems.  I just got a new computer, also running Windows Vista.
Both versions are Home Premium 32bit.  I just installed 7.04 on the new
machine in exactly the same location.  I copied all my \save files to the
new save directory and copied my license file to the c:\dx4win directory.
With the license file in the c:\dx4win directory, Dx4win starts up in Demo
mode and says nothing about my license file.  c:\dx4win was the location for
the license file on my old machine and DX4win work correctly with it there.
I moved the license file to the c:\dx4win\dx4w704 directory and now when
started, Dx4win gives me the "bad license file..." message.
 
I'm out of ideas.  At this point I'm not sure where the license file
belongs.  I've tried starting the installation file as well as Dx4win while
in admin mode with no luck.  Help!
 
Roger, W1EM
