SBS-Populate is re-born and running

[YORKIESI]

Hi Guys,  i use SBS,  to run with my AERODATA database,  i get alerts via their own 'alert program' , 

i used to use ACTIVE DISPLAY to populate my SBS , which worked great when i was abroad ( US / UAE etc ),

does this program here - do the same ,  what do i do to get it running ?  just run the program file ? - will it loate my SBS - SQB file automatically  ?

thanks for any help ?

SBS-1 Populate can be used to manually update an sqb record or auto-populate.  BUT......

Auto-populate needs a remote database and this is no longer available.  Dutchradar.nl gave up!

I use SBS-1 Populate to update single records, entering the missing data from various sources. 

If you're happy to do this, just download the app using the link on the first post in this thread.  You'll have to tell it where your active sqb file is located.

It did - for a short while!

was just wondering if anyone would give me a few pointers, I'm trying to reinstall sbs populate and just can't seem to get it going.

I've downloaded the the program and extracted it to a new folder on the desktop, I run the setup application and it installs but a program compatibility assistant pops up saying it might not of installed correctly. I just click its installed correctly and the program starts. at the bottom it then says error reading ini file 53 and cannot find a file located in the virtual store. I've tried to update the database path to both program files x86 and in the virtual store but it still says same. and if I try to run auto populate it just says AP22 DB read failed.

and after I've Installed it there is also no short cut to run the program so I'm not sure how to restart it after I close it? I dont remember having similar issues with my old laptop. not sure what I'm doing wrong

thanks

From where did you download SBS-1Populate and was it it a 32 or 64 bit version?

Is your desktop a different processor bit speed to your laptop?

I downloaded it from here on the First page, not sure what version it is though. I've got it installed and set the database to the "Basestation" in the virtual store which seems to get it running fine. only thing I've noticed though is there's no short cut still but ive made one myself. up to now it seems to run fine, I left it running last night and it populated over 30 aircraft.

thanks for replying

Sounds like you're OK now?

SBSPopulate - Where is it located on the computer? I downloaded it yesterday and it worked. Closed it down and now can't find it. I tried a re-install but it says SBSPopulate can not be installed it is already installed in another location.

[Anmer]

What version of Windows are you using?

[DJS248]

Windows 10 Pro. I've searched in all the "usual' places, Program Files, Program Files (x86), Kinetic Folder, Virtual Store, Users. I just can't find it!

[Anmer]

Click the Windows Start icon and scroll down for:

Gatwick Aviation Society

..and then the down arrow to expose:

SBSPopulate

Right Click to Pin to Start or More to Open File Location from where you can create a desktop Shortcut.

Thanks.
I did actually find it in C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\TNDNDV17.5WA\W7MLA8GZ.6NC
But your way is much easier...DOH!

[Anmer]

Yes, that's where it's installed but I thought my way would be easier

Evening all, I need some help please. I have downloaded the 64 bit software, and upon trying to add the path to my sqb file, the folder doesnt show my sqb file in the Basestation folder. Any ideas?
