Dave,

Thanks for responding. I am afraid this will be beyond my understanding and capabilities but I gave another try.

I downloaded and installed Launcher successfully.

I immediately added it to the firewall exclusion as the wiki described.

Then, using Launcher I downloaded and installed Commander. The program said that it installed and immediately ran an update. I have v. 16.0.3 now.

When I opened Commander it opened. I clicked on Config wanting to start there but it did not respond.

After a while the computer said:

?

When I started Commander again, the computer said:

?

But Commander was not anywhere. I checked the Task Manager and it was not showing Commander running.

?

Do I have to have my radio connected when initiating the software?

?

+ AA6YQ comments below

I am a new would-be user of DXLab but after seeing all the deep computer technical issues listed here on this list

+ To what "deep computer technical issues" are you referring?

?

and suffering failures on the first attempt to just install the software I wonder if it even worth the effort.

I have a brand-new laptop with Win 11. The Launcher installed but was not listed in the DX Lab folder.

+ By default, the Launcher installs in

C:\DXLab

+ Where is the launcher installed on your system?

?

Commander had installation errors

+ Please describe the installation errors.

?

, the update had errors.

+ Please describe the update errors.

It did not even list my radio (FT-991A).

+ If the update did not succeed, then you were running an early version of Commander released before the FT-991A was available. The FT-991A has long been supported.

Then, it said it was already running where it wasn't, etc.

+ To what does the first "it" in this sentence refer?

?I read somewhere that computer security could be the culprit behind installation issues.

Is there a list of preventive measures in Windows 11 that should be made before installing DX Lab?

Windows security has several layers such as Virus protection, Firewall, App control. Which one should be opened? All of them?

?

Any sage advice would be appreciated.

+ A stated in "Installing DXLab Applications on Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, or Windows 11" in

+ "Before running any DXLab application for the first time, configure your anti-malware and firewall applications to consider it "safe".

?

+ "If you are using Microsoft's Windows Defender on Windows 10 or Windows 11, update it to its latest malware definitions in
