Pilot Stats app

[Spatula]

The program seizes up when I try to download pilot data.    I tried a bunch of times.  Then tried downloading net 2.0 as instructed on the download page but not compatabile with 64 bit systems (i have windows7-64bit).  Strange because the program worked on this computer previous to the last AH update.

Any ideas?  Anyone...anyone...Bueller...B ueller?

I see there are other win7 64 bit users which it works on, so maybe its a firewall issue getting in the way?

I had the last version working fine on the same computer until the recent AH update.  I deleted all that and started with a fresh install.  Just checked the firewall and made sure the program is allowed.  When I try to download pilot data, it looks good.  The bar fills up green and when it gets to the end, I see this:

In your install directory, you will find some files with a .dump extension. Delete all of them, then re-run the app so it crashes, then mail me the new .dump file

Skuzzy whacked me last time I showed that picture.  i can e-mail it if you wish.


No idea how to find install directory or dump file.    
sent you something, but no idea what it is.  Bear with me, my IQ is in the single digit range.

Do you have more than one month of WW1 data?

I figured out what happened.     When installing, the default location is "Program Files X86".  I reinstalled in Program Files and it works like a charm.
Choker, if you have Windows7, that's probably what's wrong in your case too.

One other thing - make sure you were active in all the tours you download or it will crash.


Thanks Spat!

I just tried it on a win7 64bit virtual machine and got the same problem. THe issue appears to be a permissions error writing to the install directory. You will need to grant write permissions to that folder and its sub-folders for the logged in user (or for all/any user or group who wants to use it).

I will have to do some investigation around win 7 security settings etc, so people wont have to do the manual permissions step. But for now the setting write permission on the install dir should fix your problem.

Alternatively, you can right click the shortcut and select "run as administrator" that should also work.

OR, yet another way is to install to a directory which is not "Program Files (X86)" or "Program Files" - try altering the install directory to "C:\AKUAG\Aces High Pilot Stats\"

  Ah yeah, that would cause them not too work.
