OpenCPN XP Installation Problems

[nohal]

It should be something like dd_vcredistMSI6bd3 The actual name will probably differ, but the beginning should be the same.

I have even 3 of those txt files of today, and more of yesterday.
Do you have still interest on those files ?
2 are about 0.5 MB, 1 is about 5 MB.
It seems to run now, because I disabled antivirus during install.

Thanks for your help and also thanks to all the programmer guys !

[nohal]

Yes, still might be interesting. Now as you can run the program you can find my e-mail on the Authors tab in OpenCPN help.

Thanks

Mr. Pavel K.a.... from CZ should have got some attached files in email, ok ?

[nohal]

Yes, thanks a lot

[QUOTE=Anwender;674411]OpenCPN 2.3.1. does not start.
(also the new beta tried, no luck either).
I have tried reboots after installs, I tried the vcredist_x86.exe from given link here. No success.
I am as administrator in win xp.
Can you see something from the log and give me advice, please ?

anyone else?for Open CPN 2.3.1?
For XP SP1 try this download link for VC redist 2008 package SP1

* link to VC 2008 redistributable is available from Microsoft downloads. Please use a search to find it.

Hello All
So here is a follow up on my Open Cpn fun and games, after going through the install problems that I had which are detailed in this thread. I got out on the water and fired up the computer connected my GPS and set that up and everthing appeared to be good. As I was chugging along as you can see things were not so happy things would get worse and worse until I zoomed in or out and that seemed to reset the problem. It may be operator error but any ideas would be great
Thanks Ross

Hi,Toothy.That's pretty bad,alright.

Just a guess:the thing that springs to mind,is "Feet".Not many folks use "feet".Nothing wrong in that,but to find the problem...

Have you tried as Fathoms or Meters in OpenCpn setup?/Vector charts tab?)

Or just be careful of the other settings "Shallow","Safety","Deep",available right near there in the dialogue.....If this helps or not,report back!

[toothy]

Ok will do , it might be a couple of weeks as I am not going to be out on my boat.I will try a couple of different settings when I get the chance.

I can't imagine how setting the depth units to feet could cause the problem he illustrated. It looks to me like a problem caused by trying to optimize screen updates for speed by not redrawing everything when the chart is moved.

Folks....

Fabbian is dead right.

All versions after 2.3.1, even sometimes on Beta 506, display this problem.

Only happens in auto-follow mode, with relatively low speeds on small scale chart renderings. Only actually seen in simulation mode, or underway on the water.

Good news is, I am underway these weeks, and have seen the problem exactly as described onboard and underway.

I have a solution ready for the next Beta.

Please stay tuned.

I was just guessing it could be the coastline display...In feet,these would be awfully close,on small scale left at the defaults 3,8,10 .A shot from the dark,as I don't use the cm93 charts much or "feet" either.
