Re: [guide-user] _Another_ missing file (fixed)

Hi,

is the new MPC update function supposed to connect automatically
to the Internet and retrieve the requested information? If so,
what do I have to do to make it work? I've installed the latest
beta with the latest add_mpc.hee and tear2.exe. Choosing Add MPC etc
from the Extras menu brings up the new dialog with various choices.
But when clicking on "Click to download updated comet data and add
it to Guide" I am returned immediately to the main Guide sky and
nothing else happens. No download from Internet.
What is wrong with my setup?
