The installer does have a version check, and I set it for Windows 98 SE, which is the supported version. But I can probably relax this to Windows 98. I just can't test it as I have nothing earlier than Windows 98 SE. If you can test on Windows 98 prior to SE for me, I'll relax the version check. I'm very reluctant to release software I can't test. I do test on Windows 98 SE, Windows XP, and Windows Vista 32.
The installer has changed, that's what's new and its version check triggered this behavior. I will be home sometime (perhaps very late) Monday and will be able to send you a private copy by Tuesday at the latest. I live in the Seattle area and drove down to the Visalia DX convention, and I don't have the ability to build the current code while on the road. 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of John Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 3:10 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] [K3] Unable to load latest K3 utility in Windows 98 Previous versions of K3 have loaded into my old 98 radio computer just fine. When I attempt to run (load) utility 1.2.3.18, I receive the following message "Windows ver 4.1.2222 or later required". A quick check shows my 98 machine is running ver 4.10.1998. What has changed from pervious versions of K3 utility and the latest version that would cause this? Can the newest version be made to run on my version of windows like the other versions have? I normally download K3 utility and FW updates to his super computer, copy to disc and load into my 98 machine. I have a 10' RS232 cable that I enables me to connect from this computer to the K3, which is fine for FW downloads but it's kind of rough doing K3 utility work with K3 utility and running over to the K3 to see what's going on. I know, get a new computer, but I use DOS based SW (NA) and SO2R for contesting and the ole 98 works fine with it's extra com and serial ports (not usb). The 98 machine is not connected to the Internet, it's radio dedicated.
