extremely frustrated after v5.02 install

Post by eswakon@eas-eng.com »

I have a new PC. I downloaded and installed a copy of v5.02 on that new PC. It started, I attached the license file and created a report (attached). On the old PC, I was running v4.62 and I attached a report from that installation(about a year old). I had installed v5.02 on the old PC and restored the v4.62 report. I KNOW NOW that was not the correct thing to do but after a few tweaks in the wizard it was working. I created and attached a copy of a report from that installation. During all of these changes between versions I was doing all the appropriate c:/cmd file renaming etc.

I went back to the working v4.64 setup. I then created screen shoots of the wizard screens (what a pain in the a**!) attached. The problem is I was NOT able to get screenshots of any of the screens in the Primary system (see attached png.) When I went to the new 5.02 install on the new PC I had no idea what to put in those settings. I have a lot of input mods. I did those in 2019. I don't remember them.

So how do I get that info back?

That is because you have the "Custom PLC" option set to YES in Wizard (Preferences -> Wizard). Set it to NO and your "Primary System" info will be available. If you indeed have a custom PLC, set the "Custom PLC" toggle switch back to YES, after you take screen shots of the data from "Primary System".

Thank you. Indicating I did NOT have a custom PLC allowed me to capture those screens.
