[Coco] Drivewire with Windows 10

[Bill Pierce]

The starter package uses the last release of Drivewire. I have no idea what problem you are having with it but glad you solved it. I would almost bet it was a permission thing, did you try to run it as administrator? The starter kist installs dw4 to the program files folder, and win10 doesn't things being modified in that folder. Th first thing DW4 does, is edits the "config.xml" file in that folder, and without administrator permissions, it can't do that and would fail.

BTW, any version (after v3.0.0) of Drivewire can be updated via the online update in the help menu.

Well I went and downloaded the Drivewire package and everything worked.Looks like the starter package is using an older version and that onedoesn't like Windows 10. I confirmed that by installing the starter packageon my Windows 10 laptop and it did the same thing as on the desktop.On Mar 7, 2017 9:35 AM, "Aaron Wolfe" <aawolfe at gmail.com> wrote:> The official package for DriveWire 4 works fine on Windows 10, just unpack> somewhere and double click DWUI4.exe or DW4LiteUI.exe.
