Re: double-clicking setup.exe does nothing
Yes, 4.2.06_setup.exe was what I used.
The other questions:
1 - no
2, 3 - not getting that screen, so no. It goes straight to the Windows UAC prompt.
4 - Windows' UAC did show up, I clicked on Yes.
5 - I didn't see anything after the UAC prompt. Nothing.
6 - Taskbar is not minimized, ribbon is not minimized to the window. I didn't see anything. I do have the taskbar set to show up at the TOP of the screen, but that shouldn't matter.
7 - no aftermarket antivirus or other security stuff. All of the Windows security stuff is at the default settings, I think.

Bob,
On both my Win11 box and my now deprecated Win10 box I get the same 鈥渁pparent鈥� result鈥� however, if you look in the taskbar ribbon, you will see an icon for the minimized installer waiting for you to OK the installation.
If you don鈥檛 see it in the taskbar, check the task manager. Either way, you should be able to bring it up onscreen and tell it to finish the installation.

Re: double-clicking setup.exe does nothing
This is an important point regarding W11. I don't see it often on W10, but I am regularly wondering what happened to my installation...then when I check the taskbar, I find it in the 'background'. It took me months to develop the habit of checking the taskbar when my installation dialog 'disappeared'. Now it's my go to.

Re: double-clicking setup.exe does nothing
You can't please all the people all the time <grin>. Not sniping. I have been supporting fldigi users for years, and I never recommend using the installer. Our local ARES group publishes a zip file that provides a complete installation when it is unzipped...an installation tailored to our needs. Unzip it where you want it.
But I still get folks who ask why it needs to be so complicated...unzipping an archive, that is...sigh...little is as simple as unzipping a file in the computer world. They ask "Why can't we just install it?" They can. But that brings its own ~potential~ for headaches, as we see here. One of the local hams has created an installer package that unzips the local zip file !!!! and places a shortcut on the desktop, or summat. I havna seen it yet.
It's not uncommon for an installer to be an exe that can be unzipped. For me, it's the best of both worlds. YMMV, for sure.
So in summary, fldigi is both a 'normal' zip file, but with an 'exe' extension, AND an installer. I havna looked at the fldigi docs lately to see what it says right up front about this, but OTOH, I think that the docs ~should~ address this on page 1, and OTO, I realize that most folks just want to download a file and run it, without reading anything...and then spend the time figuring out what they did. It's pretty much what we see everywhere...and I even get feedback from companies I contact about user docs that says exactly that...they find that most folks don't read the docs at all, even when they have a problem. Much easier to post the same question for the 99th time on some forum, without even searching the forum for answers, than it is to read anything.
I taught HS thru uni from 1990 to 2015, and I was surprised at first to hear students...top students, at that...say right up front that they don't read their textbooks. Too much trouble. They figure that faculty will spoon-feed them everything in class that they could have already learned from their texts. In fact, I was 'reviewed' in one of my uni classes after many complaints from students. The department head then called me in to discuss the results. "Prof Messeder expects us to read the text out of class." He just looked at me stunned. How can a uni student ~actually~ write this, he wondered? They were pretty much all like that. (BTW, it was spot on...I don't teach the text. I teach the material. Students are responsible for reading and understanding the text, because they will be tested on it.)
Oops...lots of social commentary there, but that's the state of the state, so to speak.
~R~

Re: double-clicking setup.exe does nothing
Hello Bob,
Glad this was helpful.
I still 'live' in a happy Win7 World that actually helps users achieve their goal rather than trying to trick them out and make them feel like doing something wrong.
I did try Win10 before and know very well what you complain about.
I assume it is a matter of how the cross-compiler (remember FLdidi is developed on Linux!) into Windows compiles the setup.exe.
As here on Win7, it used to work just fine like a genuine Windows installer program, but M$oft has been infamous of ever more deviating from their good old previous 'standards' and thus just does not do anymore, what used to be 'normal' and expected by their users.
Keeping up with ever changing behavior this from another operating system is more than hard hard, I would assume.
So I have kind of put up with such oddities (to be very polite) and try find my ways to circumvent them best I can.
Zip-like exe files are not unusual, and quite a few other setups and even normal program applications can be opened via 7zip. Not all make sense this way, but luckily FLdigi setup does...
Good luck and enjoy FLdigi and Ham Radio ;-)

Re: double-clicking setup.exe does nothing
Interesting. Are you trying to install using:
fldigi-4.2.06_setup.exe
-which is the latest non-alpha or beta code?
1. Are you getting a blue pop-up screen trying to stop you?
2. Are you selecting 鈥淢ore options鈥� on that screen?
3. When you do that, do you get another blue screen that gives you the choice of backing out or selecting 鈥淚nstall anyway鈥�?
4. When you do the install anyway, you should get the standard Window UAC panel asking you to confirm installation-
5. If you say yes, you will next get the fldigi installer panel and can select some install options and complete the install.
6 If you don鈥檛 see that 鈥減ermissions鈥� panel in 4 above, then look to see if the window is minimized to your Taskbar and open it, then proceed.
Let us know where what you see deviates from that sequence. It should work unless you have a 3rd party security app and/or the Windows security stuff cranked up and blocking everything.

Re: double-clicking setup.exe does nothing
I believe clicking on Yes in the warning dialog means you accept the Windows conclusion that the installer file is unsafe, and so it doesn't run it. If the warning message gives you a "More info" link, you need to click on that and then in the "more info" dialog tell it to run the program anyway despite the warning. If it doesn't give you such a link, you might try looking at the Properties of the downloaded file for a notification to the effect that the file has been blocked because it might be unsafe, in which case there should be a button to unblock the file after which you should be able to run it.

FLrig Remotely Accessed Scanning Script
I am trying to help out someone who is looking to use the JNOS bbs with
FLrig/FLdigi and have the HF radio scan groups of frequencies waiting
for connections. The group of frequencies will change based on time of
day for propagation changes. For example, 80 meters during evening or
overnight and 40 meters during daylight. The FLdigi would be the modem
and the FLrig would do all of the radio control functions. We can set up
scripting with JNOS and have it communicate with FLrig/FLdigi via TCP/IP.
Is this doable and where can I find the commands needed to make it happen
to build out the script? Thanks.

Re: HELP WITH A RUN TIME ERROR
Steve and Barry thanks for your interest. This morning I got up and decided to try an use Winlink and VarAC by starting the software using Run As Administrator and both programs opened and worked as tested. In VarAC the Com Port 3 did save upon exit and was still on Com Port 3 when I started VarAC again. VARA opened and I did not get the Run Time Error.
听
The short conclusion is Winlink and VarAC worked using Run As Administrator and if I have to do this on the Win 10 machine that's ok by me. I do not know enough about using Run As Administrator to determine why it works so not sure if considered a work around. Fldigi opens normally executing the icon on desktop.
听
The good news is I can use the digital programs on this Win 10 machine. Barry - The Win 7 machine works on digital programs, laptop stays in one place and I do not use for anything else. Plus it is an old heavy Toshiba laptop. I have other computers to use.
听
Steve I have deinstalled Winlink and VarAC and reinstalled and maybe I did not get all the remnants so I will try again and take a deeper look. Nothing wrong with doing that and I can rename the Freq Dir and other and save to thumb drive if I decide.
听
Steve, I will let you know results as I can do the deinstall this weekend. This sounds strange but my computer knowledge has greatly improved trying to get digital programs functioning through all the variables computers presents and I share what I learned with others. Thanks again Mick N3OJP

I did check the VarAC forums and VARA support and I find nothing on the Run Time Error so must be a Win 10 computer issue and VARA. I have done research on the Run Time Error, tried some suggestions and no change. There is also a Com Port issue with VarAC.

This Win 10 laptop used to work with VarAC and Winlink and something changed and I do not have a restore point. Any advise is appreciated Barry and don't spend much time as I think I will deinstall the programs and start fresh again.
BTW Fldigi works ok on this Win 10 machine and I will download the version that uses THOR 25 as I read your postings. I like to use the Win 10 machine in my travels to Western NY home with 71' wire and EFHW.

I have attached 3 screenshots showing the problems I see. See what you think Barry....thanks Mick Pyzoha N3OJP

Using Winlink I always get this error on the Win 10 machine when VARA opens. If I click on ok VARA closes and does听
not restart. I have to close Winlink, start up Winlink, VARA starts up and I get the error.
听
When using VarAC in Settings the Com port number will not save. I can enter Com 3 which is correct, PTT ON test works,听 Save and Exit
and reopen VarAC Setting and Port is blank. The Com port will not save.

VARA does not open automatically in VarAC even though in Settings in the VARA tab I have the correct path. I open VARA manually
and get the Run Time Error.

HELP WITH A RUN TIME ERROR
Mick N3OJP
I have never encountered a 鈥渞un time error鈥� so have no advice, other than to keep asking folks more familiar with operating systems.
I will copy your concern to folks who are pretty solid with FLDIGI.
I would not complain if a Win 7 machine fails. Update! But my three Win10 computers (two desktops, one laptop) have never encountered a RUN TIME ERROR.
Keep us in the loop.
I would delete the PREFS file first, and start all over with FLDIGI.
Barry
Why am I getting a runtime error? Runtime errors can occur听if you are running two software programs that are not compatible, if your computer has memory problems, or if the computer has been infected with malicious software. Therefore, I suggest you to check if there are any latest updates available for the program from the manufacturer's site.Aug 30, 2011

Hi Barry I need some guidance from you as VARA on my Win 10 machine using Winlink or VacAC is giving me Run Time Error and used to work just fine. I use a Win 7 machine and I have no trouble with VARA, Winlink or VarAC. I have deleted from the Win 10 machine Winlink, VarAC and VARA and reinstalled same problem. The Run Time Error appeared out of no where and if I can resolve that I may have luck with the Win 10 machine.

Re: Soundcard calibration for TX ppm
Hello Mark,
I hope the attached recipe will help...

I have calibrated my soundcard for receive using WWV to +127. What is the optimum method for determining the transmit ppm value? Other than sending an image to another station which has also been calibrated, then adjusting the value until the transmitted image is not skewed, I'm not finding a way. It seems there's probably an off-air method, but I'm not finding it. I don't think the help text covers setting the TX ppm value. I only discovered the need when I sent an image to an HF net and none of the stations received it correctly.

Re: Soundcard calibration for TX ppm
What rig do you have -- sounds like you need to calibrate the rig.听 The +127 is a lot to change on the receive side. Look in the service manual for how to do it.
You can work with somebody who has also calibrated their receiver.
Contact me off-list and I can watch your signal.
