SC won't install -- Win 11


 

Hi, all --

Installing DXLab onto a new, Windows 11 computer and am having trouble getting Spotcollector to install.The error message is "Unable to download file from

http://www.ambersoft.com\DXLab\SpotCollector/Spotcollector342Archive.exe
Aborting installation.

Is there something amiss at the site or is this a gremlin from W11?

Computer is not connected to any radios or rotators yet -- I'm trying to get as much preloaded onto this machine as I can, prior to moving it into the station.

TIA

It is not clear where you are in the DXLab Installation process.? All the DXLab apps are installed by Launcher.

Start here for the explanation:

+ It looks like Earthlike dropped the entire SpotCollector folder. I've restored it, but it's still not accessible; sometimes it takes them a few minutes for new files to appear.

+ I'm off to Wayland's Town Meeting for the next several hours. On the Launcher's Configuration window, change the "Distribution Site" selector from Ambersoft to DXLabSuite, and then direct the Launcher to install SpotCollector.

TNX, Dave! I'll try this after supper.

Yes, I was trying a fresh install from the Launcher.? Dave (YQ) has reset something on his end.? I'll try after supper.

It was weird and I'm glad it's nothing on my end. :-)

+ This file and the other SpotCollector installation files are again accessible. I will seek an explanation from EarthLink for their disappearance.

+ Note that there are two DXLab distribution sites - DXLabSuite and Ambersoft. If one becomes inaccessible or stops working correctly, simply select the other one via the "Distribution Site" selector on the Launcher's Configuration window.
