Don,
Thanks for the reminder about the Legacy Installer Helper - I had forgotten
about that. But...
I just ran the Legacy Installer on the SM6SRW modules and got the same error
message as before, "Severe: Writelog must be installed". Well WL is
installed in a user account and Windows asks me for the Admin PIN number
before it lets me run anything. I provide that number and things run ok,
except for trying to get the 3rd party stuff installed.
Another bit of confusion. The Legacy Installer Helper says the DC3HB and
DL1EFD contest modules DO NOT need the WL Legacy Installer Helper, yet last
night when I tried to install the DL1EFD modules I got the same error
message. I haven' tried the DC3HB modules. Not sure what to do now.
73,

Subject: [WriteLog] 3rd Party Contest Module problems
I?m having a problem trying to download and install the 3rd party contest
modules by DL1EFD and SM6SRW shown on the WriteLog Third Party website page.
I can both the WLCM_DL1EFD_080414.exe and the WLCM_SM6SRW_060110.exe files
to download to my new Win 10 computer. But when I try to run these
executables I get the following error message for both programs, ?Writelog
must be installed?.
Obviously there is a problem with the installers for these third party
modules and WriteLog V12. How do we go about getting updated installers?
There are many EU based contest modules in these packages and I would hate
to lose all of the various contests included in these offerings. Since it
appears these programs are currently incompatible with WL V12, would it be
feasible to install WL V11 on the same machine for the purpose of getting
these modules to run? I would hate to think of what could go wrong here,
but I?m grasping for straws at the moment. Anybody have a suggestion?

Gary,
My modules will need the Installer Helper. I must admit I haven't tried adding
them to v12. I did an upgrade on my PCs and that worked fine.
Unfortunately I have lost access to the InstallShield version it was created
with so can't create a direct replacement. I'll have a look into it but can't
guarantee as I am busy with work commitments currently.

Well, it appears version 12 installs itself in a way that those older
installers don't recognize. The only work around at this time is messy,
but it works:
1. Uninstall writelog 12. It will ask to restart. You MUST restart
before continuing to the next step.
2. After the restart, install writelog 11....(you see where this is
going) You need a FULL kit to do so.
3. Find the Legacy Installer Helper and use it to install the
WLCM_DL1EFD_080414.exe...and
any other older modules you want.
4. install WL12...and, unless you have recently purchased a WriteLog
upgrade (which gave you a WL 12 FULL installer), the only installer
available to you that will work is the WL12.01U3 on
http://writelog.com/downloads/writelog-versions. This will ask to
restart. You MUST do so.
5. Now install WL12.02....
Messy, but works.
I know we need to "do something". Please be patient.

Wayne,
Messy it is! I've done some quick checking and here is where I stand at the
moment. The numbered items here refer to you list below.
1. I can do the uninstall of V12 and restart.
2. I have located on my old Vista computer writelog_full_v11.31.exe that I
downloaded 11/20/2015. I take I just do the full install and leave any
other updates until later?
3. I have the Legacy Installer Helper on the Win 10 machine and on the old
Vista machine, but I'm assuming a full install of V11.31 would put another
copy into that WriteLog/Program folder. I can then try the Legacy Installer
again to add the various 3rd party modules.
4. Steve sent me a link for wl1201uFull-sx3mmLf.exe when I first got the Win
10 machine. I have this file on my machine now, also the wl1202Lmsigupg.exe
which is the version currently installed.
5.So it sounds like after reinstalling V12.01 full I need to do a restart
and then do the V12.02 upgrade? At least that's what I'm inferring here
since I do have the wl12.01 full install.
Now a couple of other questions. When this is all done should I go back and
run the wl32Dmsiupg.exe file, which is the last one I have for V11? When I
am done installing and getting the various 3rd party modules installed how
will this work to operate? I'm assuming I will have two different WriteLog
program directories, one for V11, the other for V12? When I want to run a
contest with a 3rd party module I must run under V11 and then for all others
run under V12? Sounds like something I might forget until I can't find the
right module.
I don't have time this afternoon to tackle this project, but might be able
to give it a go later tonight. Hopefully I won't thoroughly mess it up!

Gary AL9A
