Railpro Assistant V 2.0
nodcc4me:
I vaguely remember Tim talking about that a while back. For many years he eschewed Windows altogether.
G8B4Life:
I have no troubles at all with FireFox and anything on Ring's site, even when using the old web based downloading interface.
A note on RailPro Assistant 2.02, as I've mentioned in the software thread, the location of the storage file has changed. This is to negate the need to run RailPro Assistant with Administrator privileges. This means you might "loose" your RailPro Assistant data (program settings, downloaded and self created files) when you upgrade as I don't think the new version is able to migrate the contents of your storage file to the new location. I've not tested this part yet.
Now, all might not be lost however. The old storage file will possibly still exist in the old location which means that it should be able to be copied directly over to the new location. I'll have to run some tests to confirm this to make sure nothing else has changed between version 2.00 and 2.02.

William Brillinger:
what is the new location of the data file?
G8B4Life:
The new location of the storage file is C:\ProgramData\Ring Engineering\RailPro Assistant\
ProgramData is a hidden folder so you might have to adjust your folder viewing settings to see it. The storage file name remains the same, vis
RailProAssistantStorage. For anyone not familiar see the picture in my post http://rpug.pdc.ca/index.php?topic=256.msg1726#msg1726
I haven't checked if anything else has changed yet, rather tired right now to concentrate on that so I'd really recommend anyone wishing to upgrade before I've checked that out to make a backup copy of your storage file if you have something to loose first before upgrading. I know I must sound like a broken record but if it doesn't migrate your settings and files to the new location and it wipes out the old file during installation then all your work is gone, too bad so sad.

William Brillinger:
I loaded the software as a full install and it is not saving changes to my data.
For example, I f I delete a stored image, and reopen RPA, the image is no longer deleted.
It seems to have remembered my login info and options from the old install, even though I chose "reinstall all".
