I downloaded Shortwave Log and attempted an install on a Windows XP-Pro
system, but got the message that .NET Framework 1.1.4322 had to be
installed on the system. Went to MS to get it and decided to install
..NET Framework 2.0 BETA instead of the older version. SWLog still
insists on ver. 1.1.4322.

Anyone else had and solved this problem? I hope I don't have to
uninstall 2.0 Beta and install 1.1 instead. I'm on a 56k line and it
takes a loooong time to download over 200 meg! :-)

Thanks,

Al

You don't want to play with the beta, I am thinking later versions of XP PRO
had already installed
the .NET framework. Email the program author and he will get back to you.
The program is well
worth it.

Jim,

Thanks. I'll take your advice on emailing the author. However, the
beta is already installed. :-( Prior to installing the .NET Framework
2.0 Beta Shortwave Log would simply not install stating that .NET
Framework 1.1.4322 had to be installed before it would install. I
*assumed* that it had to be 1.1.4322 OR HIGHER; but it appears it was
written to require that exact release.

Thanks again. I'll contact the author and see what he suggests. I
don't know the release number of my XP Pro, but .NET Framework 2.0 Beta
installed with no problem -- after finally getting it all downloaded.
If I go into Start control panel add or remove programs it shows
2.0. Last night I installed service pack 2.

UPDATE: I emailed the author who said I would need .NET Framework
1.1.4322. I deleted 2.0 Beta. Windows update would NOT recognize
that .NET was missing and showed no updates needed. The solution was to
manually download .NET Framework 1.1 and install it from a directory.

Shortwave Log installed fine after .NET Framework 1.1 was installed.
Thanks for all the help. Now to learn to use it....

Oh, the reason 2.0 Beta was so large is I downloaded the entire SDK
(Software Developers Kit) for that program - about 229 MEG.

I would not risk using the .NET 2.0 beta at this stage. Better to stick
with the current 1.1 version. Run the Windows Update to get the 1.1
version, then run it again to get the security update to the 1.1
version. (Why it doesn't install an updated version the first time, I
don't know.) The first one is about 20Mb to download, then another 10Mb
to download the second one, so you will probably want to do this on a
broadband connection.

Also, once you get SWLog installed and running, be sure to update all of
the databases with the data you can download and import into the system.
Having all that reference information on hand makes identifying what you
might hear, and logging it, much easier. However, ONLY install the FCC
Amateur Radio database if you (1) are really going to use that
information, and (2) have a broadband connection and a fast computer (or
you can leave the computer running overnight for just the import process
-- it takes quite a while. The other databases don't take nearly as
long.

And if you have a PocketPC device (not a PalmOS system, not sure about
support for SmartPhones), there is a version for it, too. Handy if you
can't lug a notebook with you when you're operating away from home. The
data on the PocketPC log can be imported into the full SWLog easily.
