DCS 5.0 Up Grade...

Did you make  2 downloads from MTH? the first is the loader and the second is version 5 software for the remote and tiu... I always save my files (version ) 5 to the desk  top else  I can never find them....

Well even if you did download the upgrade files, unless when you unzip them, you extract them to the "My MTH Files" folder, you still won't find them.  My suggestion is if you did extract them, do it again and see what the path is for where the files were extracted to.  Then when the loader points you to the "My MTH Files" folder, just navigate to where they were extracted to.  Or move the extracted files to the "My MTH Files" folder.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how does any Adobe product get involved in the upgrade process? I save the downloaded files, and then in Windows Explorer right click on them and then click on unzip, after which I tell Explorer where to unzip them to.

I did all of the above. As for the Adobe issue it just pops up. Adobe is a PDF reader and should have nothing to do with opening this file. I double clicked on the folder trying to find the files, that is probably when Adobe tried to treat it as a PDF.

As for the "My MTH folder" I do save it to there and I find it just fine but when I open it there is nothing in it. In other words there are no files to down lode to my TIU and remote.

As for the Loader, yes I did down load that as well.

This is very strange, I must of down loaded a hundred files for personal and work use over the years but never saw anything like this.

On a side note, the Rev L TIU works fine on my layout, but when I tried to connect to the TIU USB-B using a USB to my computer, "USB-A to USB-B" adapter cable per the instructions in the DCS Companion, I get nothing.

But, that is a secondary issue because as I stated above the USB to DB 9 adapter cable works just fine.

I am going to try the extraction that Marty spoke of. I'll keep you guys posted.

Have you unzipped the code file?

OK, good news from the wonderful world of Mario and his adventures in computer land.

I got my sons Apple Lap top, it has a Windows 7 partition on it. Using the DB 9 to USB adapter it worked just fine.  My TIU and two remote Hand Held units are all up graded to 5.0

For some reason my PC was trying to open the files with Adobe. The only thing I can think of that caused this was I up dated the latest version of Adobe and I must have it set as my default. I also received a free Windows 10 up grade from Microsoft over the net a couple of months ago and the emulation that MTH uses doe not appear in my option list.

With that in mind I was wondering if anyone else running Windows 10 are able to do DCS down loads?

In any case I have a little house keeping to do on my PC.

As for the mini USB-b port on the TIU it is still in question. I will know for sure when I go to connect my WiFi unit to it tomorrow. I'm hoping it was just a bad cable, or simply more of Mario's fat fingers that kept it from working yesterday.

Later guys and thanks for the help.

Go to my topic below and read my last entry (several minutes ago).  Basically to use Windows 10 you have to download a serial/com port driver.

Thank You, I'm at work now and don't have time to play, but I will do just that later tonight when I get home.
