Re: [WriteLog] Trouble installing MMTTY Plug-in

Yes, the trick is to have a clean writelog.ini file. I had already 
transferred in my fully setup for two radios writelog.ini which still 
pointed to MMTTY on the old F: drive (which does not exist now) instead of 
the C: drive.

The plug-in apparently looks for MMTTY by reading the writelog.ini file. If 
it gets a bad path, it aborts. However, when the writelog.ini file has no 
mmtty entries then it knows how to find mmtty. Go figure.

At any rate, most of the radio functionality is up and running on the 
reinstall. Only took 5 days this time!
