When I open DXKeeper, I get a msg saying there is an TQSL update available. When I go to run the update process, I get a msg saying "The file C:\ecker\APPData\roaming\trusted QSL\ is not a valid installation package. Try to find the installation package tqslupdate.msi in a folder  from which you can install Trusted QSL 2/6/1". That folder is in fact where that msi file is located.
 Anyone know what is going on here or have an idea for a work around?

Workaround: Run TQSL (application) and update from there.

The current newest version of tQSL is 2.6.3

Go to: http://arrl.org/tqsl-download and download from the link
on that page (box titled tQSL 2.6.3).

So did that. Download from ARRL into my Downloads folder and started update from the TQSL app. Got the same msg. So browsed to the downloads folder and selected newly downloaded update. Got the same msg. Maybe some kind of Win 10 PC glitch??

It probably shouldn't matter but instead of downloading the TQSL update file from the ARRL site, launch the TQSL application directly (with an internet connection, of course). At the menu bar at the top, click "Help" and select "Check for updates" and try updating from there. This should automatically grab any necessary files (application and configuration file updates) and apply them.

So browsed to the downloads folder and selected newly downloaded
update.

Browse to the download folder. *RIGHT CLICK* on the downloaded file
and select "Properties". At the bottom where it says "Security" check
the box that says "Unblock" then click Apply. Double click on the
file and it should install.

Did the right click/select properties/ on the download msi file. I see a Security tab, but in that tab do not see the word "Block" anywhare. Under the area that says Permissions for the System, all are checked allow.

73 and tnx for the help

Did you try rebooting the computer?

I see a Security tab,

IT'S *NOT* ON THE SECURITY TAB. If the file is "blocked", that options
is at the very bottom of the GENERAL tab. If there is not a paragraph
that looks like:

Security This file came from another
computer and might be blocked to [ ] Unblock
help protect this computer

then you don't have the issue I think you do.

Are you sure your downloads are binary (not text)? A text download will
make the file unreadable/not executable to Windows.

Joe No there is no verbiage like that at the bottom of the General tab, and the file is not a txt file, it has an .msi file extension

Then contact ARRL for help - this is not a DXLab Suite issue.

if I double click on the file in the Downloads directory, the first msg i get seems to be from the  TQSL program saying" the feature you are trying to use is on network resource that is not available" The downloads directory is on the same PC that the TQSL program resides. I am using Windows Security program and haven't gotten any messages from it?

73 & tnx for the reply

That's a Windows message. It indicates that the Windows Installer database on your computer has a corrupted set of data for the program that you are trying to install.
This is commonly caused by defective "Clean Up" programs that claim to remove unnecessary files and registry settings.

The first thing to try is to uninstall TQSL using "Add/Remove Programs". DO NOT open the program files folder and delete the files. If that succeeds, then try opening that tqslupdate.msi file again.

If the uninstall fails, or if the reinstall still doesn't work, then you can follow the guidance in https://www.windowscentral.com/how-fix-network-resource-unavailable-install-error-windows-10 and see if that repairs the damage.

+ Many thanks to Rick K1MU for monitoring this group's messages and jumping in to provide TQSL support!

+ TQSL is an open source project. Rick has been improving TQSL since early 2013, when he combined two previously independent, defective, and cryptic applications (TQSL and TQSLCert) into a single reliable application with a modern interface capable of being localized to other languages by volunteers. Today, users can interact with TQSL in any of 15 languages, undoubtedly enabling many more users around the world to submit their QSOs to LoTW. If only LoTW's web interface were similarly localizable...

Rick - thanks do much for helping me solve this issue with not being able to update TQSL. I first tried uninstalling TQSL2.6.1 as you suggested. That did not work. I got the same error msg that I received when trying to update the program. I went to the Windows link you sent and wound up having to download and run the Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter program. I then ran it on TQSL 2.6.1 and it said " found and fixed the problem". Then downloaded and and installed 2.6.4 and it is running just fine. So thank you again for helping me on this problem and thanks so much for all that you do for the Ham Community in your work on the TQSL program.
