[WriteLog] UPDATE Anybody have MMTTY Plugin working in VISTA??

[k0bx at arrl.net]

I just thought I would give you an update on my quest
to get MMTTY working in WL with MS VISTA.

No, I don't have it going yet.  I found that the MMTTY
Plugin Setup could not write to the Writelog.ini file.
 I had to go to Writelog.ini in the system32 directory
and change the permission to read/write instead of
readonly.  After that, it seems like the Plugin
installed correctly, at least no error messages.  The
correct lines were added to Writelog.ini file.

I checked the register and the MMTTY Plugin was
registered.

MmTtyTnc.dll is located in the c:\ham\programs
subdirectory. (Thanks Don)

It looks like, but I cannot confirm that Writelog is
NOT reading the Writelog.ini file.  One line in the
Writelog.ini tells Writelog to add the Name MMTTY to
the dropdown list of TNCS.  Even if MMTTY did not
work, I believe this menu item would showup if the
Writelog.ini file was read.

Don't get me wrong, I do NOT think this is a Writelog,
MMTTY or MMTTY Plugin problem but more a "Permission"
problem with MS VISTA.

If I find out any more I will let everyone know.

"I installed MMTTY on my new Dell laptop running VISA.

All works FB.  I then installed Writelog 1.64 on the
laptop.  No problem.  RTTYrite works fine, decodes
rtty and CW fine.

But then I tried to install the MMTTY Plugin for
Writelog.  The setup program worked and said it was
installed but the MMTTY never showed up on the
RTTYrite menu.  I just wonder if anyone has gotten
this to work on MS VISA?

I have been a Writelog user for a very longtime and
have setup many machines, so I do know my way around
Writelog.  Any help out there??"
