RE: Installing Guide 8 on a Windows 10 PC

For what it’s worth, I appear to have the same issue on my Win10 system.

I copied my working installation from my Win7 machine over to my Win10 machine (didn’t even install, just copied), edited the paths in GUIDE.DAT, yet I cannot see UCAC3 or UCAC4 data. And my paths have no spaces in the directory names.

Most perplexing to me…..

Hi Roger,

Have you got UCAC4 turned on in “Toggle user datasets” under “Extras”?

Cheers,

Roger

Hi Roger (and anyone else who can help),

I copied the UCAC-4 files to c:\Program Files (x86)\Guide 8\UCAC-4\u4b

I downloaded the UCAC-4 tdf and saved it in the Guide 8 folder as ucac-4.tdf

I changed the first line to; file c:\Program Files (x86)\Guide\UCAC-4\u4b

as I understand from the Guide manual that this must indicate where the UCAC-4 data is stored.

Having done that I don't see UCAC-4 listed when I select Go to .TDF object.

Any ideas?

Regards
