Hello George,

If you have installed Swisslog previously in the Program Files folder and you have windows Vista or higher and you have not disabled UAC and you don't run Swisslog as administrator you will get unexpected results!

Hello again Jordi,

something strange happened. I downloaded the 5.97a file again from Swisslog site to another computer with simmilar configuration, and all was done OK. I compared the two downloaded files and theyhave the samesize but a lot of bytes are diferent. I used this file on my main computer, and yes all gne smoothly and the log is running now well in version 5.97a.
I will try to investigate the reason and let you know the result.

Many thanks and 73!

Hello George,

When you are upgrading from the "new version" warning in Swisslog, a different installer is downloaded and placed in the user TEMP folder. This installer is slightly different from the full installer to avoid some installation steps but its contents are exactly the same. Maybe it was corrupted somehow...

But i'm happy that after reinstalling again all works well.

Hello Jordi,

The reason for repetitive downloading of different files was probably  a not fully installed Win10 last update :-(.
All is running well now.

Hi Jordi

Since I installed Swisslog 5.97a, I have no more communication between Swisslog and jt65-HF version HB9HQX; communication is OK with JTDX and WSJTX.
With version 5.97 and 5.96, all is OK ( with errors messages with version 5.97).

I returned on Version 5.96.

73's and thank you for your good job.

Hello Bernard,

I think the problem is coming the way HB9HQX program detects Swisslog version. Because it includes a letter in the version number it doesn't detect it. I will contact him to change this.

You can solve this by editing the windows registry and modify the key where the Swisslog version number is saved. I'm not at home and I'm explaining by memory but open Regedit and in search for 5.97a. You should find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Swisslog for Windows, version key (32 bits operating systems). If you have a 64bits operating system this key will be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow3264Node/Swisslog for Windows. Simply replace 5.97a by 5.97 and should work. Because I will release a new version 5.97b soon, remember to do this again in case there is not any new version from HB9HQX correcting this.

Hello Jordi

  You was right Jordi, I changed the value key from 5.97a to 5.97 in the registry and now, all is OK.

Thank you very much
