membership Infos

[DF8SB]

Hi,
First of all Thank you very much for your very god job by improving Swisslog!

I have installed the update from 5.91 to 5.91a as administrator. Now, when Input a new QSO, (membership-information is activated) the following error message appears:

“The Microsoft Jet-Data bank module does not find the input table or the query 'Inf.skcc'. “

After closing this message only eQSL but no one else like AGCW etc. will be indicated. Then I have tried to update the Information Tables by using “update all” but also here came an error message:

"C:\program files (x86)\swisslog\info\AGCWmembers.xls was not found".
Also I have found out, that the folder “Info” is empty. All time I was connected at Internet."

How can I solve This problem? Thank you for assistance.

Hi Hartmut,

Though you have installed as administrator probably you didn't disable UAC when first installed version 5.91 If you keep UAC enabled you will get a lot of problems with amateur radio software in general if you install them in the C:\Program files folder because when UAC is enabled windows protects this folder and when running these programs system is really working with another folder located in (in case of Swisslog):

C:\USERS\YOURUSERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\VIRTUALSTORE\PROGRAM FILES\SWISSLOG (32 bits editions)
C:\USERS\YOURUSERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\VIRTUALSTORE\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\SWISSLOG (64 bits editions)

This is a bundle because user believes it's really working with the program folder in C:\Program Files\Swisslog. That's the reason I highly recommend to disable UAC and ALWAYS run installers in programs as administrator. In your case, though you have updated Swisslog as administrator, files in C:\Program files(x86)\Swisslog have been properly updated into 5.91a but when running Swisslog is really working with the copy located in C:\USERS\YOURUSERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\VIRTUALSTORE\PROGRAM FILES (x86)\SWISSLOG. That's the reason it won't find many files and creates a big bundle!

Please read this thread I posted explaining in detail all this about UAC and administrator rights:
