[Dxbase] DXBase and Vista32bits

[Jack]

Jean,

During the installation of DXbase, we attempt to place a host file in the 
normal folder location expected by Windows.  I think on Vista it is 
c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc  but you can do a file search on host to 
find the exact location.

Vista does not allow our installation to overwrite your existing host file. 
So, the solution is to copy the host file that we place in your DXbase 2007 
folder into the location where Vista expects to see it.  Overwrite the 
existing host file with the one from the DXbase folder.

Regards,
Jack

Dear all,

I have installed DXB2007 and the license keys and the .mdb files without any 
problem and it works fine now. (Tnx to Wes N7WS)
We have just a problem with the DXcluster, the Host file to access to 
DXCluster is empty.
In File>Modify Hosts File we have the mention "Unable to locate or open 
hosts file"
The same  message in users option > Internet (IP Host) It is impossible to 
write anything in it !!!!!
Please, is there somebody who can help us ?
Many thanks.
Best regards,73's
