Well let me say that this my first post on the site. I just registered last night and have been reading posts for about 4 hours. This site is awesome! I really enjoy the feeling of community with all the help and suggestions that I see. On that note, I am going to offer up a little piece of help to anyone having trouble installing Humminbird PC Version 4.1.8 on Windows 7. First, I run Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I had a problem installing HBPC at first. I was getting a WriteLog Install error. This had me puzzled for a few minutes. I tried it in various windows compatibility modes to no avail. After a short break (coffee and a snack) I took another look. The light bulb came on plane as day with the answer staring me right in the face. Here is the help:
1. Download Humminbird PC 4.1.8 to your DESKTOP!
2. Run installer from there.After it finished installing I now have a fully working program in Windows 7 (64bit). I hope that this will help anyone in the future so they don't have to pull their hair out while trying to figure it out.
Cheers
Darryl
