Windows 7 YellowFin install problem
« on: May 15, 2011, 10:48:43 AM »
Talking to a friend and he had to replace his computer.  XP to Windows 7.
He installed YellowFin 2.011 and is now trying to update and it askes for a file name. Does anyone know if yellowFin runs on Windows 7 and what might be happening here.
Any help appreciated if you have an answer.
all my external viewers are on XP...
If I get time today I will try to install on Win-7.
Thanks
Chuck

OK< I downloaded and installed YF 1.09 and then the update to 2.011.  HBSI is installed so now will try to get some file over to YF>>>>
I think the problem is that there were no HB files on the win 7 yet....

All is ok now.  Also when you install the update you must copy the update and replace the original 1.09 fill in the programs file to make the upgrade permanent..
The original question of opening a file is after YF loads and is asking for a son2xtf file name.
He will now load converted records to his new system.  It all works fine here...
And I think his will now do the same...
