VWS Crash after updating to p46
« on: February 23, 2012, 08:14:24 PM »
After running p01 for the last years pretty much flawless I just updated to p46 to try and fix some display issues with graphs...


Just updated to p46 and now when i open my station it downloads records...uploads to WU...then as soon as it shows the display panel it crashes...

Ive turned off dep for vws and also tried to install the debugging for VWS but it wont install...

anyone have any suggestions ...ive read every wiki and nothing has worked!!!


Im running it on windows home server ... have been for years

Then I'd give them a call.  Ed may be out of the office on a vacation and whoever else is there may be letting it sit.   :-(

On March 2nd, he came out with p47. Maybe that might fix something?

I believe ed changed something because of my issue but my issue snowballed out of control and I bailed on VWS... I was getting over 30 errors when I ran VWS ...

since I was running VWS on Windows home server I decieded to use Weatherlink for my uploads since it runs stable on my server... IM sure I could get VWS to run with continued troubleshooting but dont have the time right now...

Ed was very helpful and eager to make this work but Im short on time right now...will possible revisit the issue in the future

What do you mean but "errors"? Where are you getting them, and what is showing them?

I have found that unless there is something in the update specific to your installation or some new feature, there really is no reason to update just because there's an update.  If it's not broken, don't fix it.  Frankly, I don't see that any update has added any new features for years.
