Unable to use get CumulusSetup Build 1099 to run...

Post by Tidalwave123 »

My V1.4 build 1097 tends to crash and lock up my PC every few weeks. Restarting Windows and Cumulus resets the software and the Davis data logger downloads the missed data.

I thought that perhaps updating to build 1099 might prevent such crashes.

However when I tried to use CumulusSetup 1099...the update stopped with the following error statement:
"Delete File Failed: Code 5. Access Denied"

Is it safe to use the uninstall program "unist000.exe" located in the Cumulus folder?
If so, will the new build 1099 download the required communications data from the latest backup file, etc.?

That almost sounds like you're still running Cumulus while you're either trying to update it, or trying to uninstall it.

Make sure the program is stopped when you're trying to install or update it.

Also, I think if you either update or uninstall it, the data files still remain in the folder. It's been so long since I've used 1.9 that I can't remember, but seem to remember an option maybe that had the uninstaller delete the data files. DON'T.

Data files are not affected by updating Cumulus. However the Cumulus standard files such as indexT.htm, todayT.htm, etc would be over ridden, if I recall correctly, unless you tick (or maybe untick) that option in the install process.

Enjoy,
