Vue console update
« on: May 06, 2018, 04:05:13 PM »
Just noticed that there's an update for the Vue to 4.30. I've gotten the download, however I can't get it to upload to the console, it states "problem opening communication port" and the direct download link does nothing as well. :???:

Was it worth the effort? I don't "fix" unbroken things.
It's an update, I wanted it. Called Davis, got Bruce immediately, told me to first close out WL (which I stated that that should also be included in the installation instructions, which he agreed), problem solved in 5 minutes, so yes....

What exactly did "close out WL" entail?
Just like closing any computer window, X marks the spot. ;)

I don't think it was unreasonable of Davis to assume that before updating the firmware on any electronic device one would shut down any software that might be communicating with it! I would regard that as self-evident, for all sorts of reasons.

You have never done tech support, have you? :) Nothing is self-evident to some people.

Your second statement is absolutely right, of course, and I have done and still do (software) tech support, but I would expect slightly better of people with enough knowledge and competence to have considered upgrading a device's firmware.

I guess not all of us are competent as you folks are. I'm sure there's nothing floating around in my head that would make me :roll: at your brilliant knowledge base. I'll just move my dumb-ass-back over to the corner where it belongs and continue thumb sucking.
