I don't know how or why, but an icon for Launcher has showed up on my start page in W11. And it works. So let's end the conversation on this topic.
There is a new topic. As I'm trying to set up DXLab on the new W11 computer, OneDrive has grabbed all of the apps within DxLab. I didn't ask it to. It must have assumed I wanted it to.
Now when I try to start DXKeeper, DXK tells me that C:\DXLab\DXKeeper\Databases does not exist. It does, but not on OneDrive! Why should OneDrive be the first place the computer looks? If I click OK, DXK goes an gets a backup of my log from DXlab\DXK\Backups but the one it keeps finding is not the most recent log. For some reason it is an older one that is missing a lot of Qs.
Can I copy my most recent log from \Databases to \Backups Using Filer Explorer? Or does DXK have to make the backup? If the latter, can I delete backed-up logs that aren't the most recent? The file dates don't seem to be controlling things. Can I copy a log file (and a correct backup) from the retired W10 machine using File Explorer and a thumb drive?
This sisn't your baliwick, but another ham might be able to help: How do I get OneDrive to stop interfering? There are warnings that if I delete DXLab from OneDrive, it will be deleted from my computer.
+ You don't want any DXLab applications installed on OneDrive. Use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall each of your DXLab applications.
+ Then install the DXLab Launcher. By default, it installs your DXLab applications in
C:\DXLab
+ but because you previously installed them on OneDrive, it may default there. This article shows the sequence of windows that will be displayed when you're installing the Launcher:
+ When you reach this window
+ carefully inspect the Directory panel. If it doesn't specify
C:\DXLab\Launcher\
+ then click the "Change Directory" button and specify
C:\DXLab\Launcher\
+ After you have the Launcher running, review the "Program Path" shown for each application on the "DXLab Apps" tab of the Launcher's Configuration window. Each Program Path should specify an appropriate sub-folder of
C:\DXLab\Launcher\
+e.g. for DXKeeper
C:\DXLab\Launcher\DXKeeper\DXKeeper.exe
+ and for DXView
C:\DXLab\Launcher\DXView\DXView.exe
+ Don't direct the Launcher to install a DXLab application unless its "Program Path" is appropriately specified.
