If you have Win-Test Version 3 installed in the standard directory (C:\Program Files\Win-Test), and you wish to install Win-Test Version 4, but have the option to run either version for a while, here are some tips for the installation of V4:<br>
<ol><li>When prompted to "Select destination location", DO NOT install Win-Test 4 in the same folder as Win-Test 3. Install it in "C:\Program Files\WT4" or "C:\Program Files\Win-Test 4" or C:\WT4 or some other place that you can easily remember.</li>
<li>When prompted to "Select Start Menu Folder", use "Win-Test 4" instead of "Win-Test" so that you can preserve your old WT3 shortcuts or icons.<br></li></ol>After installing Win-Test 4 in a NEW folder, BEFORE YOU REGISTER IT, open a Windows command prompt (Start, Run, CMD.EXE), and copy/paste the following DOS commands (it sure would be better if the Win-Test install program would migrate these files to the new directories for you):<br>
<br>(The following works IF your computer is set up for Windows XP, US English; perhaps others can supply the equivalents in French, German, etc. Windows Vista uses C:\ProgramData\Win-Test\):<br><ol style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
<li>COPY "C:\Program Files\Win-Test\*.ini" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Win-Test\cfg\"</li><li>COPY "C:\Program Files\Win-Test\*.xdt" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Win-Test\extras\"</li>
<li>COPY "C:\Program Files\Win-Test\*.scp" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Win-Test\databases\"<br></li><li>COPY "C:\Program Files\Win-Test\*.dtb" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Win-Test\databases\"<br>
(When prompted "Overwrite HF.DTB?" "Overwrite VHF.DTB?", reply "N")</li><li>COPY "C:\Program Files\Win-Test\*.wtb" "C:\Program Files\WT4\"<br>(Change WT4 to whatever name you used)</li>
<li>COPY "C:\Program Files\Win-Test\*.xdl" "C:\Program Files\WT4\"<br>(Change WT4 to whatever name you used)<br></li></ol>Now you can start Win-Test and register it with your new V4 registration code:<br>
<ol><li>In the Win-Test 4 menu, click Help | Register software...</li><li>Copy your Computer code to the Windows clipboard (it's the same number as V3)</li><li>Click the red <u style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Register now</u> link at the bottom of the dialog box to open up the Win-Test website in your browser</li>
<li>In your browser, click the <a href="http://www.win-test.com/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=1870">Register Win-Test</a> link, left-hand column<br></li><li>Enter your 4-digit Win-Test account number and enter your callsign<br>
</li><li>Paste your computer code (copied in Step 2)</li><li>Press the [Registration key request] button<br></li><li>An email with the registration key will be sent almost immediately to the email address that you originally used to purchase Win-Test. If you no longer have access to that email account you'll need to contact F5MZN or F6FVY directly. There seems to be no way to get a new Win-Test 3 registration key once you purchase Win-Test 4 or get the email about the free upgrade to Win-Test 4)<br>
</li><li>Copy the new Registration Key from the email message to the Windows clipboard</li><li>Paste it into the Win-Test "Register software" dialog that you opened in step 1<br></li><li>Press [OK]</li></ol>You may want to use different icons to distinguish WT3 from WT4:<br>
<ol><li>Start, All Programs, Win-Test 4</li><li>Right click on the Win-Test icon, left-click on Properties<br></li><li>Select the Shortcut tab</li><li>Click the [Change Icon] button</li><li>Select the 6th icon in the list</li>
</ol>Note: internal sound card voicekeyer message files (MSG1.WAV, MSG2.WAV etc.) seem to go into a new directory now:<br><br>C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Win-Test\ops\default\n6tv\104\<br><br>(I don't know what the '104' means or if it is the same for everyone).<br>
<br> The .WAV file is duplicated with different "speeds" now, so instead of trying to migrate your old .WAV files to WT4 it is just easier to re-record them with Win-Test 4.<br><br>73,<br>Bob, N6TV<br>
