It really isnt my weekend .....

I have just tried to re-install and I am getting an error message after clicking the windows installer ...  It reads 'Error 1309, error reading from file. It then lists a long link ending in ICOMIC7000RadioIntf.biu. Verify that file exists and that you can access it' It then has three option buttons Abort, Retry or Ignore. I clicked on the ignore and the path changes to AOIR8600RadioIntf.biu .. Clicking ignore changes the file name each time eventually ending up at waypoints and changing the country. Retry does nothing and Abort is what I have done.

Hi Ian

And that's installing from a newly downloaded CD file and installing into a new folder?

Did you unzip the CD file before attempting the install?

[IanH654]

Hello again,

Sadly so ....  and I put the destination as C:\Kinetic

I did unzip the CD file as well ....

Update - Not sure what I did, but I kept trying and it has installed ....  I will try the other steps now ...

Possibly a bad sector on the HD?

It sounds like the install couldn't retrieve a file from the extracted CD contents.

Do you have another drive or USB device that you could extract to?

Or maybe first try using Windows' tools to check your HD for errors?

So far, so good .....

I have copied the SQB file across as well as the operator flags and fingers crossed, it all appears to be working again ...  It has the facility to update an individual record again which was the initial problem yesterday afternoon which led to the shutdown issue ..

Many thanks for your help and advice Anmer, much appreciated !

Sometimes databases are corrupted due to 3rd party programs that use a different version of SQLite3.

To test you can download the most recent version of SQLite3 from SQLite3.org (make a backup first!) and install (copy) the new sqlite3.dll. Use the commandline tool to examine the database. BaseStation works fine with the newest version. The SQLite tools provide a great database troubleshooting solution.

So far, so good .....

Hi Ian.

What did you do?

[IanH654]

My apologies for the late reply ....

I installed the Basestation in to another file away from the Program Files ...  Fired it up and away it went !  No cutting out / switching itself off etc plus I can update individual records that are showing on the screen.

It has been running all afternoon without a problem ... I have switched it off a couple of times and restarted it to see if all OK ..  Which (fingers crossed) it is at the moment.

I didn't install the SQLite2 program.

I have the SQB file from before and that it working OK.

Thanks again,

Ian H.

Thanks Ian.

So a fresh install eventually completed and all is good?

I got a bit confused between a couple of your posts but reading again I think I can see where I went off piste.

[IanH654]

Thanks Anmer,

Yes, it looks like a fresh install sorted it out ....  and looks like (hopefully) my SQB file isn't corrupted either ...  I have spent a lot of time updating it since lockdown started, deleting a stack of old records, updating many more with the GAS AD Lite program without Basestation being switched on ...

Good to hear all is now well.

Make sure you make regular backups for these things can get corrupted.  Better to lose a days updates than months or more.

[IanH654]

Too right ! 

I regularly back up the SQB file every couple of days or after a session of updating .... As you say, it would be an extreme disappointment to lose weeks of work ...

Thanks again for your help and advice ...  Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
