WXSIM 2021
« on: September 13, 2021, 06:57:35 PM »
I had to replace my hard drive on my PC. Since then, when I attempt to open my WXSIM, all I get is there two error windows. WXSMATE opens fine. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I had a problem with ecdata.txt a year or so ago. I found my copy contained a row of NULs in the first line, which it should not. I restored a good backup copy of the file and that resolved my problem. You might want to see what your ecdata.txt looks like.

Ecdata.txt is located in my WxSim folder. Have you tried running the latest WxSim upgrade to get the latest programs https://wxsim.com/wxsimupg.exe?

You might also want to review this item from the WxSim forum. https://www.weather-watch.com/smf/index.php/topic,71328.msg573790.html#msg573790. Another user had your exact problem. It was caused by installing another copy of WxSim into a different folder than the previous version was in.

OK, I finally just deleted everything and re-downloaded  and installed the program. WORKS!
