Thank you for any insight.

Did you change anything at all? Also, I if the problem is continuing, I have an experiment to suggest. I think this is occurring during download from the internet, probably for a selected data type. You can try watching the progress bar, with the URL just below it, and see which site or data type is tripping it up. You can also uncheck various data types, maybe just leaving one checked at a time, to see what data type or site is messing up. Let me know what you find!

Tom

I haven’t changed anything at all. It’s a dedicated weather computer, so nothing but weather stuff runs on it.
There is another box that pops up that I forgot to mention. It reads under WXSIM messages:
"The following irregularities or errors were encountered during WXSIM’s last run for Jupiter…

FOUS data over 24 hours old - consider obtaining more recent data.
READY or GFS data over 24 hours old - consider obtaining more recent data."

I rebooted the computer and everything else is running ok and connecting to the internet.

Unchecking the MOS GFS checkbox allowed wxsimate program to open, but when I clicked download files, Norton security pops up a firewall alert saying wxsimate.exe does not have a valid digital signature. When I left the Norton window up to copy what I saw here, another unhandled exception error pops up reading:
"Could not find a part of the path ‘c:\wxbig'data.txt’.

OK trying to run it after allowing access to the Norton firewall, and MOS GFS unchecked, it will run until it hits Appending files, then pops up the unhandled exception “Could not find a part of the path ‘c:\wxbig'data.txt’.”

Checking all the checkboxes, it will download everything and stops at Appending files with the same unhandled exception above.

If I click continue on the unhandled exception error box and click on Import Data from the weather station, it immediately pops up another Unhandled exception error box with a "Could not find part of the path ‘c:\wxbig\2003-12\2017-09.wlk’.

Is wxbig a file that’s supposed to be there? I don’t find it where it says it’s supposed to be. I also don’t see 'data.text or 2003-12\2017-09.wlk files.
This is weird!

Also, the WXSIMATE program shows ATL+72219 in the Site field. That can’t be right.
After I started getting the errors, I downloaded the new version so I wonder if some info got messed up during the update for me?
My wxsmini.txt file has these entries on lines 2-4:
c:\wxbig\2003-12
c:\wxbig'data.txt
c:\wxbig\readydat.txt

I really don’t know what could have changed. I haven’t changed anything on the computer, except update the wxsim version linked on a couple posts down on this forum.

What you are running is the location for Atlanta . go to wxsim at the top of page is a file called location. click on that file and look for your site. if it is not there then you may have down loaded a new instalation and NOT the upgrade version .try this
Chuck

Thank you, Chuck. My WXSIM has the location set right to Jupiter, but my WXSIMATE has Atlanta.
I just clicked on the link in Tom’s thread below to update, and went from there. I’ve done it successfully 50 times in the past, I wonder if I screwed something up somewhere in the download. Weird.

It sounds like your wxsmini.txt file might be corrupted. If you have a backup prior to having this problem, you might want to restore wxsmini.txt from it. If not, do you have the original files Tom sent you when you first started using WxSim? If so, you can get wxsmini.txt from those files. And, if you don’t have the original files, you’ll need to contact Tom and he can provide wxsmini.txt for you.

Steve

Yes, definitely something happened to wxsmini.txt. We can fix that. Please email me, including the files custinit.txt and cty.fdt, and also tell me what weather station software you use (Weather Display?), and I’ll get you fixed back up! :slight_smile:

Tom

Thank you, Tom. I sent it. :slight_smile:

Well, we got it working, the wxsmini file was corrupted somehow, and Tome sent me a new one. HOWEVER…

So it all runs, but at the end of WXSIM running, a window pops up saying
"The following irregularities or errors were encountered during WXSIM’s last run for Jupiter…

FOUS data over 24 hours old - consider obtaining more recent data.
READY or GFS data over 24 hours old - consider obtaining more recent data."

I wonder if something else got messed up.

Hello:
yesterday for eletrical reasons my hard drive broke down,
today once replaced all the necessary software installed for its operation, the WXSIM does not want to work I have the same problem
it does not let capture the data of wdisplay but if the internet, attached captures, some help please

where the report that says: FL Weather is saved
thank you very much
Emilio


Sorry for the late response! Is the problem still occurring? A likely possibility is a bad line in a WD log file, due to a power interruption. If you are still seeing this error, please send me 112017lg.txt and 122017lg.txt so I can find the bad data line.

Tom
