X4 installation issue

[Reverend Turk]

I am installing X4 on my new 64 bit box. The installation goes smooth. I opened it and things went great. Then I took my config folder, posts and Machine Defs from the other box and dragged and dropped the files in the new 64 bit box.

 

Now I open MC and I do not see any toolbars other than the MRU and ribbon bar.

 

I tried to repair an install and that did nothing so I stipped it, went into the registery and got rid of the CNC Software folders.

 

I then reloaded it and I have the same issue.

 

I need to load this on three new boxes so I am working with mine first. I do not want to do this to another new box until I have the issue solved.

 

Also, I get an error upon opening that has to do with the Chooks, the zip2go to be specific.

Does it launch OK without copying over your old config files? I don't believe you can just copy over your .config file. You have to update it using the correct procedure. I believe it's "File-Update folder." There are instructions in the installation guide that tell you how to do it and what files need to be updated. I would start with that.

Thad, I had X4 on the old box. This is the reason I just copied them over.

 

We have new offline 64 bit workstations so that is why I am switching over the software.

 

I am going to try and strip it again and reload but I have done it twice now with no luck

copying config files from one box to another is a recipe for disaster..

You can copy/paste your toolbar and RMB files

OK, but moving a config file can cause you a world of hurt..

Access lag and crashes

when you did the reload, did you delete the install folders from the old install? If left, they would have the problem file(s) still there.

 

When you lost the tool bars, did an error box pop up when you launch MC?

[Reverend Turk]

An error that was associated with the chooks/zip2go

 

 

As for deleting the install files..I am unsure as to what you mean.

 

I used the CD to uninstall MC and the did a regedit to delete the CNC software folders.

[gcode]

unistall..

delete C:mcamx or whater folder you installed

X4 in

clean the registry

reinstall

 

and check out this file

I ran the uninstall and for some reason the folder for X4 was still there and I did not notice it.

 

I deleted it and ran it again and all is good.

 

I guess I will just continue to rebuild my config file upon installing a new release.

 

Thanks guys
