[Elecraft] K3 Frequency Memory Editor with Win98SE

[Dick Dievendorff]

The K3 Frequency Memory Editor requires the Windows .Net framework (2.0).
It can be installed from 

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-
8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

The setup.exe and K3FreqMemoryEditor.msi files should be in the same
directory.  Setup.exe looks for it there.

It appears that we currently require Windows Installer 3.1 or later.  I'll
see if I can influence that. Windows Installer 3.1 is an Windows 2000 and
later product, Installer 2.0 is available for Windows 98 SE.

Can you try installing Windows Installer 2.0 from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=cebb
acd8-c094-4255-b702-de3bb768148f

I'll do some poking around to see if I can offer a Windows 98 SE version.  I
hope it is possible.

Dick, K6KR

Installation of the .zip version of the Freq Mem Editor failed on my Win98SE
machine.  I unzipped in my own temporary directory (nonstandard name) and 
double-clicked setup.exe as instructed.  

Is there some special place where the .msi file should be placed?  I believe
that I already have some .msi files here and there from other downloads.
I do not have "DotNet" installed, as I have never needed it.

The log file shows the following, ending in an error message that setup.exe
displayed when it abended:
