Hello ,
i am one step before buying CCDAUTOPILOT 3.
Last night and also today i tried to download again the trial version(i had downloaded it again last year,i installed it but i didnt have the time to check it for 60 days ,so the trial period expired).
The problem is that pop up a window which says "REGISTRATION ERROR "and i cant turn on the software ...
Is it normal ?When i buy it is it gone to be ok ?

Thanks

Hello Nikos,

This is an indication of a registry error in your PC. It may be the result of using a registry "cleaner" or something else that modifies the registry inappropriately. Try uninstalling CCDAP and then turn off any registry utility programs. Reinstall CCDAP and see if you are then able to access the program. If you get the same error, then the registry modification may have been fatal to CCDAP installation. At that point, the only (painful) alternative is to reinstall Windows!

Do you have another PC you can try?

John i dont use registry cleaners...
I tested it to 3 computers (one of them is just set up with reinstalled windows)This computer played last night ccdinpector (first time installed )and now show that it expired...

i just made the set up to the 4th pc exactly the same problem ...
Do i download the correct version ?3415?

Yes Nikos, version 3.41.5 is correct. Oncee installed, it can be updated via the web to the current version 3.41.9.

The only time I saw this error was during early Vista testing. Once 3.40 was released, the error did not reappear. Are you using Vista? If so, try turning off UAC. Also, make sure you have all Vista updates.

If you are not using Vista, what OS are you using?

windows xp service pack 2

Are all updates installed as well as .NET 2.0?

Yes downloaded and re installed yesterday

I've not run into this before am running out of ideas, Nikos.

On a guess, try downloading and installing .NET 1.1 framework and the service pack for it. .NET 1.1 shouldn't be necessary but...

It might be worth a try.

Finally worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And as i told you already payed

Thanks John

Thanks, Nikos. What did you do to finally get it working?

Downloaded net 1.0 plus internet explorer 7

John
i will try to install to the main computer today at my observatory, in case i have any troubles where can i find older versions?(ftp site or if you can send me?)

Thanks

You shouldn't have any problems with the new version, Nikos. If you do, let me know.
