K3 Frequency Memory Editor with Win98SE

Installation of the .zip version of the Freq Mem Editor failed on my Win98SE
machine. I unzipped in my own temporary directory (nonstandard name) and
double-clicked setup.exe as instructed.

Is there some special place where the .msi file should be placed? I believe
that I already have some .msi files here and there from other downloads.
I do not have "DotNet" installed, as I have never needed it.

The log file shows the following, ending in an error message that setup.exe
displayed when it abended:

Re: K3 Frequency Memory Editor with Win98SE

Basically the errors messages are saying that it won't install on
Windows 98SE.

Re: K3 Frequency Memory Editor with Win98SE

In reply to this post by Paul Kirley

The K3 Frequency Memory Editor requires the Windows .Net framework (2.0).
It can be installed from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-
8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

The setup.exe and K3FreqMemoryEditor.msi files should be in the same
directory. Setup.exe looks for it there.

It appears that we currently require Windows Installer 3.1 or later. I'll
see if I can influence that. Windows Installer 3.1 is an Windows 2000 and
later product, Installer 2.0 is available for Windows 98 SE.

Can you try installing Windows Installer 2.0 from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=cebb
acd8-c094-4255-b702-de3bb768148f

I'll do some poking around to see if I can offer a Windows 98 SE version. I
hope it is possible.

Dick, K6KR

Re: K3 Frequency Memory Editor with Win98SE

Well, the .Net Framework is supposed to work on Windows 98 SE, so I can at
least give it a try, if the prerequisite software is installed and does the
job.

I'm still using Visual Studio 2005 (and not 2008 or 2010) for the Elecraft
utilities because the newer compilers generate EXEs that don't run on
Windows 98 SE or Windows ME.

I'm aware that at least some of our community migrates
older-but-working-fine systems into the radio shack...

But I can't ignore the development productivity I get from using a modern
runtime library, and I needed a grid control for this effort. The .Net
framework's grid control is adequate and is free for customers.
