Default Got mine working!

Duh, not sure why I didn't think of this sooner. My kitlog works fine on two different computers running Windows XP, however, I had problems using it on Windows 7 computer (worked at first, then quit after a Microsoft update). After much gnashing of teeth and choice words, I just about gave up. Today, I had a revelation. On the Windows 7 computer, I selected to run Kitlog in Windows XP compatibility mode--NOW IT WORKS!

I second the Mac version.

I contacted KitLog Pro about the Mac version and the reply was-

"A Mac-specific version of Kitlog is currently not on the roadmap. That being said, you can run the Windows version of Kitlog Pro on a Mac with utilities such as Bootcamp, etc".

If I wanted to run windows I wouldn't of purchased a Mac......

Maybe Matt is too busy flying his new RV8 to maintain Kitlog properly?
By the way, I have kitlog up and running on my new (one month) Windows 7/64 bit--sure hope it stays that way.

Just wanted to chime in here with something positive about Kitlog's support. I had somehow messed up my XP registries which prevented Kitlog from running on my machine and received one-day turnaround instructions on how to correct it. That was good service in my book and I'm thankful for Matt Dralle's quick response on a Sunday, no less!

Bob,
I just upgraded to a new computer running Windows 7/64 bit. No joy with kitlog...
Was there any trick to the install when you did it?

Edit:
Well, I uninstalled and reinstalled but this time I right clicked on the installation program and "ran as administrator" and all is working now.

If all you need is a place to log things, I put together a database in Bento in about an hour which I use for my build log. Syncs to Bento on my iPad and iPhone so I can do updates or have the whole thing with me when away from computer. Also very easy to take and add photos with a log entry using the phone, and the next iPad should have a camera so it will work like a digital clipboard out in the shop.

I didn't personally want to have a build site so this works very well for me. If you want to auto-post online then this isn't an option, of course. But if you just want the log, take a look at Bento on the Mac or iOS device. Very easy to get going. (I actually also included a linked cost tracking table but decided that was a bad idea and have never used it )

If anybody is interested in an alternative to Kitlog Pro, PM me. I have been thinking about building something, and if there is a some interest, I will do it. Please, PM's only.

A fresh install on a Win 7/64 bit worked flawlessly the first time.

Even long-time geeks have problems when MS releases a 'grand galactic upgrade to make everything perfect' OS. Of course, there is no money in having an OS that just 'works' --- and WinXPP has been the most stable of all the MS OS's in my career. After about 30 yrs ranging from programmer to systems analyst and network engineer, there are still glitches that can get my blood boiling and my head banging against the wall. This 'run as administrator' issue got me the first time I installed an app on Vista.

But I digress ... KitLogPro has been my choice from day one, and worked flawlessly in WinXPP on the same PC for almost 5 yrs now. I started posting to the Internet site about 2 yrs ago, reluctantly. It was a good builder log app and I didn't think posting my progress was of particular interest to others. (Probably still is of little value, but even bad examples can sometimes help others.)

Writing and maintaining a commercially available application is a tremendous commitment and my hat's off to anyone who chooses to do so in such a limited market as Experimental A/C logs. Making that program compatible with every whim of MS, is a thankless challenge. Anyone who dares to do it is consumed by more dedication to their customers than desire to get rich. Without on-going revenue for patches, updates, upgrades, and support, there is little reward but the praise of end-users. So here's my payment --- I like it, and recommend it to others.

Default Thanks Matt for the support.....

I had an issue with my hard drive and struggled to get Kitlog reloaded. Matt sent me instructions promptly and I was up and running again. Great support. Thanks.
