Mike,
"I did follow Marsh's recommendation and I can see the new files etc. Even
after doing the manual update via Marsh's method, Writelog says it would
like to do the update."
This is no need to download again if you can see the new files in
C:\ProgramData\WriteLog. Ignore the Download wl_cty.dat box in Convert CTY
to WriteLog and just click on the Convert wl_cty.dat box.
To confirm you have and WriteLog is using the latest country files:
Run WriteLog and start a new contest log for a contest with Country in the
QSO entry window (something like CQWW).
Type VERSION in the Callsign field and press the Spacebar. The latest
version is Ukraine
****************************************************************************
NOTE:
IF YOU RUN Web Update Data Files, YOUR NEW LATEST wl_cty.dat WILL BE
OVERWRITTEN UNLESS YOU UN-HIGHLIGHT (DESELECT) IT. If you do not deselect
wl_cty.dat and download, then run Convert CTY to WriteLog, and click on the
Convert wl_cty.dat box, WriteLog will go back to using an older version of
wl_cty.dat. The VERSION will be Uzbekistan.
ALSO, IF YOU HAVE UPDATED YOUR SCP (.dta) FILES TO THE VERSION DATED
12-2-2015, IF YOU RUN Web Update Data Files AND DO NOT UN-HIGHLIGHT
(DESELECT) THEM YOUR SCP (.dta) FILES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN WITH THE
11-18-2014 VERSION.
The files you get when you run Web Update Data Files and download are not
current.
Marsh, KA5M

Subject: Re: [WriteLog] Problems With Writelog (Update)
Hi Gang:
First off thanks to Ed, Robert, Ken and Marsh..
After doing a complete uninstall and manually removing left over files I
found that I have no more Writelog files on the HDD. I did a new install and
found that I have avoided much of the duplication of files that I did have.
I accidentally dumped all my old contest files but not a big deal, I can
just redo them from scratch. Since I am now retired I will have extra time
on my hands...HiHi...
I however still find that doing the Webupdate of files doesn't work at all.
I did follow Marsh's recommendation and I can see the new files etc. Even
after doing the manual update via Marsh's method, Writelog says it would
like to do the update. From what I can tell the Webupdate option is broken
as even after manually updating the CTY files, Writelog still say's they
need to be updated. When I go to Webupdate, all the files in the box are
shaded blue, perhaps to do the Webupdate I have to unshade all those files.
It has been a while since I have done the Webupdate.
At least I have a good working copy of Writelog on the HDD, and not 2 or
more extra directories full of files that were not even being used. I guess
it was time for a cleanup any ways.
Tnx Agn guys for your help...
