I am having a memory lapse and also can't find what I believe I remembered at
one - is there a limit to the number of lines that can
be listed in the actionfile.txt and if so, what's the limit?
thanks
don

Yeah same here Windows 7 64 with a Davis Vantage Vue.  Works fine.

Has anyone had any success installing WUHU in Windows 7 yet.

 

Mine won’t install, no error messages just aborts….

 

Thanks,

Terry

 

Printer is on the network.  Not sure why that would matter.

Oh happy day!  I got WUHU to work with WD.  Found an option in WD to use
currdat.lst import.  So now I can use both.  Any chance WUHU can have an
option to start on bootup?  I tried putting it in the start menu but it
gets errors sometimes.

Thanks for the detailed advice! But I was able to figure out which port it was
going to when I clicked on "safely remove hardware" from the task bar to remove
a camera, there was WUHU being listed as using COM3, so selected COM3 in WUHU
and it connected!

Check the task list to see if install.exe is locked up. Some programs like
Outlook cause the program to lock-up.

If so, do a fresh reboot, then attempt an install.

The first thing I would do is to go to Control Panel/System/Hardware Device
Manager, open "COM & LPT" ports, and check the status of the port's device
driver. If there is a problem with the port, it would have an exclamation point
next to it. While you in are in there, right click the port, select properties,

tab, then the "Advanced" button. Beware that the port number can change whenever
you add new ports, or in you case, re-install XP.

If everything looks Ok, and the port number assigned is what you had expected,
try opening the port using HyperTerm (Programs/Accessories/Communications). If
Hyperterm is unable to open the port, WUHU will not be able to open the port
either.

If you cannot open the port with Hyperterm, at that point, I would guess that
some other software like a PDA package, UPS, or other software is grabbing the
port at boot time. Tracking which application has the port open can be
difficult. I think there is a program out there called Process Monitor written
by the guy from SysInternals (now at MS) that can help.

If you are around today, you could send me a remote desktop invite via email

Getting this error again..
unable to open specified communications port. Maker sure the port exists in the
system and is not being used by another application like Heavyweather

I just reformatted my WinXP32 system and I am getting this error again. I made
sure the connections were good, tried all different kinds of ports and tried to
update the driver to no avail. Any ideas??

There is a CWOP Member survey here.

I would still recommend the Davis Vantage Vue. Very nice unit!

A LaCrosse 23xx series or an Oregon Scientific WMR968 make great weather stations for the money, combine them with the Free WUHU software and you have everything you need.

WUHU Software runs great, does not use much computer resources is easy to setup and use and best of all it has the best support in the industry.

The owner and developer of the software owns this list and responds to questions, problems, concerns and proposed enhancements himself.

In addition, members of the group are always willing to help out when they can. With WUHU you get a family, not just a software package :)

OHLA!  I am looking to buy and set up a PWS with connection Weather Underground.
What is the cheapest combination (weather station, software, other necessities)
you all would recommend?  Is running WUHU and virtual weather really
complicated?

Please advise.

I get the same error message and have tried to put the delay statement and i get

I wonder if adding an exception under AVG’s resident shield for WUHU would help this issue? Similar to adding an application to a firewall exception. Sounds like a good possibility. – Rob

I have been using WUHU for a long time now, and it works very well. I have two instances running - one for the 968 and one for the 2315. There is a shortcut for each in the startup folder so they launch automatically after a computer restart.

A couple of days ago, I updated my AVG free to the 9.0.704 version. That is the only change, as the desktop computer (Dell, Win XP) is dedicated to WUHU and YAWCAM uploading to WU, CWOP, and PWS Weather.

This morning, the power flickered and the computer restarted. WUHU would not start. The error message said "Runtime error 217 at 00021AEE" When I clicked OK then it said "unable to create chart dialog. Program Will Terminate". It did that for both instances of WUHU. After I cleared the error messages, it would start manually. I tried deleting the shortcuts in the startup folder and putting new ones in there. When I restarted the computer again, I got the same error messages.

I ended up uninstalling WUHU and reinstalling. I had to re-enter all the cwop and wu info, and put new shortcuts in the startup folder. However, after reinstalling, it does start automatically now and everything works well. I assume it has something to do with the AVG upgrade, but that's only a guess.

Anyways, it works well now and I'm happy again.

Checked by AVG - www.avg.com
Version: 9.0.704 / Virus Database: 270.14.60/2495 - Release Date: 11/10/09 13:56:00

I have been using WUHU for a long time now, and it works very well.  I have two
instances running - one for the 968 and one for the 2315.  There is a shortcut
for each in the startup folder so they launch automatically after a computer
restart.

A couple of days ago, I updated my AVG free to the 9.0.704 version.  That is the
only change, as the desktop computer (Dell, Win XP) is dedicated to WUHU and
YAWCAM uploading to WU, CWOP, and PWS Weather.

This morning, the power flickered and the computer restarted.  WUHU would not
start.  The error message said "Runtime error 217 at 00021AEE"  When I clicked
OK then it said "unable to create chart dialog.  Program Will Terminate".  It
did that for both instances of WUHU.  After I cleared the error messages, it
would start manually.  I tried deleting the shortcuts in the startup folder and
putting new ones in there.  When I restarted the computer again, I got the same
error messages.

I ended up uninstalling WUHU and reinstalling. I had to  re-enter all the cwop
and wu info, and put new shortcuts in the startup folder.  However, after
reinstalling, it does  start automatically now and everything works well.  I
assume it has something to do with the AVG upgrade, but that's only a guess.

Anyways, it works well now and I'm happy again.

Yes, the station ID for WU is case sensitive.
