*** Important To Understand !!! ***

Roger Barker G4IDE, the author of UIview, died abruptly of cancer in later
2004.? At his request from his deathbed, the source code for the program was
destroyed, making updates impossible.

The main UIview program has now remained unchanged for /_NEARLY 15 YEARS_/. It
is an "orphan" frozen in time as of? 14 April 2004 during the "Windows XP era".
This is long before Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 appeared.

*Uiview can be made to work with Windows 7 and later, either 32- or 64-bits,
but it **IS NOT**a mindless? "just run SETUP and accept the defaults"?
undertaking.*

An increasing number of out-of-the-box defaults and settings are outdated.
Fortunately, many of these can be changed _after_ the initial install.


*All the details you need to install and run UIview in Windows 7-8-10 are here
on my website:**

*<> *



Note that Windows 7 is a much better bet than Windows 10 for the long term.???
Windows 10 is an endlessly-moving target with forced updates that you can't
opt-out of or refuse. Sooner or later, an update to Win 10 is likely to
permanently "break" UIview.

Ui-view is still probably the best program out there, which shows how good Roger's program really was!

Using it under windows 10 needs trivial changes, which are the same as for Windows 7.
Install in its own folder, not under Program files.
Edit uiview32.ibi to swap UIFLOOD & UITRACE values (or add something else local for UIFLOOD.

It works fine under Windows 10.

Please do not top post, and trim quoted text as much as possible.

UI-View website:

UI-View Registration:
Select language & fill in your name and call sign. Return later to collect your registration.

APRS Server List: To update the APRS Server List, change the download URL to... aprs2.net/APRServe2.txt

For North American users, PMap 9 (Precision Mapping 9.0) along with PMapServer 9 can provide street level mapping for all of North America. They can be installed without hassle on Windows 7 & 8. PMapServer is available for download on the UI-View website. However, Undertow Software is no longer selling new copies of PMap 9, but existing owners can continue to use it as long as they can get it registered.

Users of anything newer than Windows XP should not install UI-View below Program Files. Instead, create a folder elsewhere. To view UI-View&#39;s built-in context sensitive help file, download and install WinHlp32.exe.


Stephen WA8LMF has many useful hints and tips about setting up and using UI-View on website:

What do you mean by ¡°settings¡±? Do you have UI-View installed and registered?

There no settings that need to be different between XP and Windows 10, but if you are using Windows 10, it should be installed somewhere other than below ¡°Program Files¡± as the operating system doesn¡¯t like anything making changes to files below there.

What TNC are you using¡­ or are you using a ¡°sound card¡± modem? Is it communicating with UI-View?

Please explain exactly what you need a hand with.

About the only difference is that UI-View shouldn't be installed below Program Files as the operating system doesn't like anything making changes there, and the context sensitive help file won't work unless you install something to allow you to view the old-style HLP help files. The RestoreWinhelp32.exe file below will allow you to use the help file.




Jeff G8HUL mentioned updating UIFLOOD and UITRACE in the uiview32.ini file, but is to update it to the latest standards for digipeating and not because of a change in the operating system.

So... the first question is do you have UI-View32 installed and registered? You mentioned it was previously installed in XP. It will be the same registration number and APRS validation number if you are using the same call sign.

The UIivew Help File is in the old, now deprecated, WinHelp? .hlp format. *It
won't display in Win 7, 8 or 10 by default*.? You have to restore the old
WinHelp.exe help file "player" from earlier versions of Windows.?? From my web
page at <>:

"Starting with Windows Vista and continuing through Windows 7, 8.x and 10,
Microsoft quietly dropped support for the traditional Windows *.hlp*Help File
format, rendering UIview's extensive help system unusable, along with those of
thousands of other older programs. The file "_WinHlp32.exe_" must be downloaded
from Microsoft, and installed into Vista or Win7, before these older help
systems will work.

(Microsoft is now trying to get programmers to write help systems in "compiled
HTML" *.chm* files that can be displayed in Internet Explorer, rather than the
old *.hlp* format that requires the specialized WinHelp.exe "player".)

Quoting from the Microsoft web site:

"Microsoft stopped including the 32-bit Help file viewer in Windows releases
beginning with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. To support customers who
still rely on legacy .hlp files, the Microsoft Download Center provides
WinHlp32.exe downloads for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and
Windows Server 2008 R2."

More information about, and downloads of, the missing *WinHlp32.exe* component
are here:



Microsoft only provides Winhelp installers for Windows Vista, 7 and 8.x.? They
have indicated that no installer for Windows 10 will be offered.? However, the
installer below, archived on this website, will work with _any_ 32-or 64-bit
flavor of Windows from Vista through Win 10.

***

This self-extracting zip file installer is based on the excellent work of by
Komeil Bahmanpour.? He figured out how to work around the thicket of Windows
UAC file protection and privileges to force install of WinHelp32.exe.

Another issue, if you want to connect UIview to the Internet, is the outdated
list of APRS-IS servers presented when you go to "Setup", "APRS Server
Setup".??? For many years, my website at
<>? had a discussion of this issue and
provided links to download a replacement server list.??? I just discovered that
all these links have gone bad too.??? Here is the revised paragraph I just
posted on my UIview_Notes page:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


*APRS Server List*??? Pulling down "File, Download APRS Server List" tries to
send you to the URL to download a current list
of available APRS Internet servers. This address has been obsolete for over a
decade.

One used to be able to replace this list with one downloaded from
? instead. This link is now dead. The home
page at <>?? now yields a placeholder
page with no information or links on it.

However * yields a comprehensive list of current
servers for both the CORE and TIER2 aprs networks. This is NOT in the form of a
simple text file you can download and install into UIview. However, you can
study the list, pick a few servers of interest to you (presumably the ones
closest to you) and enter them as additions to the original list in UIview.

Or you can use one of the virtual servers that randomly assign you a real
server.? Add one of these to the original server list in UIview and check it.
Go to "Setup, APRS Server Setup" and press the "Insert" key. Then enter one of
the server names below:

*rotate.aprs2.net:14580*? (randomly assigns a server anywhere in the world)

*noam.aprs2.net:14580*?? (randomly assigns a server in North America)

*soam.aprs2.net:14580 *(randomly assigns a server in South America*)

euro.aprs2.net:14580*?? (randomly assigns a server in Europe)

*asia.aprs2.net:14580*??? (randomly assigns a server in Asia)



A list of North American servers, is located here on the WA8LMF website:

I am glad to hear that, but perhaps you could let us know what the problem was and what the solution was. That might help someone else down the road.
