Title: FreeWx-Wi Software?
Post by: dunstergirl on May 24, 2016, 06:48:47 PM

Wondering if anyone knows where I can find the original FreeWx-Wi installation package? I am running it on an older computer but the installation package is long gone and I want to install it on a new machine. This is for an old Radio Shack station (same as Oregon Scientific WMR968).

Thanks for any advice!

Had an idea so I thought I'd try something. Here on the forum is this post...
https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=291.0

At the bottom was a link which is of course defunct... However, I decide to put it in the Internet Wayback site which got me here... (see attachment).

I then copied the embedded download link into the Wayback site and hit a dead end.

So I did some more searching and found this....
http://systemexplorer.net/file-database/file/freewx-wi-exe/1026101

So i went through the database to the "Fs" and didn't find it.

A little closer but still no joy...

So I gave it a shot... wish I could have been more help.

It is still in use... if only there was some way to contact these users...

I reached out to the owner of the website to see if they would be willing to share a copy. Hope this helps.

Thanks.  I have emailed a few sites like that.  Maybe someone will respond.

I received a reply with the software attached. PM your email address and I will forward it to you. I am not sure that it is the installer. It looks like a copy of the software already installed off his computer. I scanned it for viruses/exploits and it is clean. It is up to you if you want the file. Let me know.

I received an update that he is looking through his backups for Ghostwriter. If you have already found everything, let me know.
