[Dx4win] Update Help Needed

[John, K9EL]

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

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.

I just tried "Check for Updates" here and it worked.  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.

Also make sure the installation directory is not under Program Files (x86).
