Lost my QSOs and refound them - F5RAB - 26-08-2016
Hello,
this morning I had an error when starting swisslog : invalid filename at the start with asking for a file name in statistic-DB file type.
I chose swlstat in the list of file but then it told swissmog had to be closed !
I tried several times, also moving swlstat in /DB but nothing
I saw in /DB that my log was last dated from april 2016 !
I then chosed to reinstall swisslog 5.91a
Now it seems to work again, but my last QSOs are from april 2016 !!!!
I then made a search for my log on my pc to see if there wasn't a dupe file.
I found another file in C:\Users\ANTOINE\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Swisslog\DB instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\Swisslog\DB and this one was dated from august 2016.
So what happened is that I changed my PC in april, did all the install in admin mode, but the short-cut on the desk wasn't checked as alwways run in admin mode.
So swisslog made a new folder where it logged all the QSOs since april.
So I copied this file in the "normal admin" folder and now it's OK.
(with the same problems as before HI !)
But I still don't know why I had suddently a problem with this "invalid file" error in statistics.
May be what happened to me could be of any use to others.

PS : I'm glad I have my QSOs back !

Hello Antoine:
It was obvious that you didn,t install and forced to run as administrator because your Qso were in the Virtual Store. When a program is installed in the Program Files folder is protected by the operating system and it,s a must to install and force as administrator to work properly. Since 5.92 Swisslog new installations are installed in C:\Swisslog to avoid all these problems.
Now that you have your Qsos back I highly recommend you to install new version 5.93. Since 5.91a there have been lots of new functions and important corrections. Take a look of all the news in the web site. The installer will detect where Swisslog is installed and perform the update. Run the installer as administrator and that,s all.
