Re: [ARRL-LoTW] Apparent corrupted download of new DXKeeper & DXSpotcollector files


 

I now understand that your first post was to the ARRL-LoTW group, not this DXLab group. That explains why I never saw it: The ARRL CEO excommunicated me from that group because I criticized his publicly announced plan to redesign and re-implement LoTW from scratch. His plan was subsequently cancelled.

In your DXKeeper folder, is there a file named DXKeeper1799.exe ?

If so, then please do the following in your DXKeeper folder:

1. delete the existing DXKeeper.exe file

2. make a copy of the DXKeeper1799.exe file and rename the copy to DXKeeper.exe

3. double-click the entry for DXKeeper.exe

Does DXKeeper 17.9.9 appear on screen?

Dave, that was my mistake, I meant Launcher when I said Commander. Sorry. I assume that you saw my reply to Joe, ref the restore attempts.
