Upgrading from Ver 1.64 to a later version connects but no operation.

Installation Help
1

Version 1.64 appears to be the last version that works for me. I am using Windows 11 Home, with the current Windows updates, as far as I can tell. I am connecting to an IC-7610 through the USB port directly to the computer.

WFView thinks it is connected, but no controls are operational and no waterfall.
I reinstalled 1.64 and it’s back working again. I tried ver 2.11 and 2.03 with the same results.

Hello

The configuration file for version 1.64 cannot be used because it is intended for specification upgrades from version 2.XX or later.
After installing the desired version, please click “Revert to Default” in the lower-left corner of the settings screen to reset the configuration file.
Please restart wfview and then configure the settings.
If you prefer not to reset the settings,
you can adjust them via

Most commonly used arguments.

Thanks. I preformed the “revert to Default” in the settings menu and restarted, however, it still does not connect or rather it connects but no information seems to transfer. The images below are the settings in version 2.24 and below that are the settings in version 1.64.

I also tried to install it in the Program Files directory as well as the C:\Ham\ folder. I also tried a full uninstall from the Windows add/remove programs. However it neither version would show that it uninstalled.

Hello

Performing a reset will delete your previous settings.
Please reconfigure the settings.
Data from version 1.64 will not be carried over.
Please do not use version 1.64 going forward, as it may cause problems.

However, neither version shows that it has been uninstalled.
There is no such indication.

I agree with Nakao, reset your settings and do not relaunch 1.64.

If the current version does not work after configuring it, please send us your log file:

I finally got it working. The Windows uninstall didn’t uninstall it, so I downloaded Revo Uninstaller and it removed all the (quite a few) registry settings. Then a clean install of 2.24 worked.

Thanks for your help,
