Re: [guide-user] Re: new issue with comet update

Where did you install the Guide9 folder?

Is it  "C:\guide9" or somewhere else. I have Guide installed with Windows 10 with no issues.

Hello;
 
I've followed all those steps.
I installed GUIDE again) and then I've got the GUIDE9.1 update stick it as you have advised me and the problem persists coming out that cascade of errors when trying to update comets and asteroids.
I put here what is currently in the file (add_mpc...
 
 The ^Minor Planet Center (MPC)//xhttp://www.minorplanetcenter.org/cfa/ps/mpc.html^ and the ^IMCCE//xhttp://www.imcce.fr/fr^
provide orbital elements for comets.  Guide updates its list of comets
using both sources;  MPC gives currently-observable comets,  IMCCE all
comets since about 1995.  (Data for historical comets is already built
into the Guide DVD.)   You can click on the following to download
some of these files,  getting orbital data for newly-found objects and
improving orbits for already known objects.  About 600 KBytes will be
downloaded.

   Guide can also import other orbital elements if they're provided in
the "eight-line format",  or the "one-line format" used for Daily Orbit
Updates.  You wouldn't normally do this,  but if you have generated an
orbit using Find_Orb,  for example,  you could import the resulting file
of orbital elements using the following command.
 
^Add MPC asteroids/comets//!2052^

I'd note that if you've installed the Guide 9.1 ZIP file from

https://www.projectpluto.com/update9.htm

your 'add_mpc.hee' should look exactly as Denis describes. (And if it
does not, it suggests that the ZIP file wasn't actually unZIPped so as
to overwrite files in your Guide 9 folder, and you should try again.
When you do so, you should get a warning about overwriting some files
in your Guide folder, such as guide9.exe. If you don't get that warning,
the files are being extracted into the wrong place.)
