WW error with MMTTY


Dale Drake
 

Did I ever mention how much I hate migrating to a new PC.  I've held off for 12 years until now.  Went from an old Win 7 machine to a Win 11.  I moved my DxLabs to the new PC according to the instruction in the wiki.  All went fine except I keep getting a popup window when changing modes, from or to, RTTY.  The pop up says "logfile (C:\Ham\DXLab\Winwarbler\Temp.MDT) does not exist, create it?".  When I answer yes It tells me "Can not open C:\Ham\DXLab\Winwarbler\Temp.MDT".

The path C:\Ham\DXLab\winwarbler does not exist on the new PC.  It was a valid path to Winwarbler on the old PC but not the path to WW on the new PC. I can't find any place in the WW config window to try to fix this.

Would appreciate help fixing this. It's a nuisance.

Thanks,
Dale,  AA1QD

Where did you install WinWarbler on your new system (what is
the path shown for WinWarbler in Launcher)?

If you did not install WinWarbler in the same directory on the
new computer as the old one, you will need to navigate (using
Windows Explorer) to the new directory for Winwarbler, find
MMTTY.ini, open it in Notepad and change all instances of the
path "C:\Ham\DXLab\winwarbler" to whatever the new path might
be. You will also need to change the [LogFile] entry
from: Name=C:\Ham\DXLab\WinWarbler\AA1QD.MDT
to: Name=<new=path>\AA1QD.MDT

Thanks Joe it's working now.

Something Dave might add the the Wiki instructions for migrating to a new PC.

+ Those folder-specific settings are only created if your use MMTTY's built-in logging mechanism. WinWarbler does not.
