Software download
Josephbw:
The day just keeps going downhill. This afternoon I was sawing a piece of wood on my ancient Dremel 4" table saw when the blade got in the way of my favorite booger hook. Buggered it up some, but it will heal eventually.
Anyway I then came upstairs and tried to load the file again this time using IE. I still didn't get the job done, but it did make a little progress. I took a couple screenshots, now let's see if I can post them.

Well Joe, what can I say sounds like a sorry day all around for you :(
Back to the topic. I really don't know why the installer supposedly doesn't like wireless connections but if there is some issue then that's something RE really needs to do something about, the issue will be with his software.
I have uploaded the RailPro Assistant package to the files area here (https://rpug.pdc.ca/index.php/topic,265.msg2840.html#msg2840) so you can bypass all that rigmarole of trying to get it from RE if you want but you'll have to manually install it as you won't get the benefit of RE's installer that puts all the files where they are supposed to go. Instructions are provided, of course.
Norton, well let's say if your protecting your banks web portal or your mega eCommerce site then what they offer is probably very good; much of the world seems to depend on them in that regard; their personal software; not so good. They could do good to hire Peter Norton back!
Once installed you may need to let Norton's firewall allow RPA to access the internet.

Internet Explorer and Norton on a satellite connection... what an awesome combination <snarky>
RailPro downloads are not properly signed. Avast also blocks them. I have to temporarily disable Avast to download from Ring.

I just made manual installation of RailPro Assistant a whole lot easier - I hope.
After I had written up and posted the manual installation instructions I thought "I have to come up with a better way for those who might not be as computer proficient". Then I had a brilliant thought, why not create a batch file. So digging into the dusty knowledge from my DOS days and with some revision I created a batch file that'll perform an upgrade (with storage file backup!) or a full install.
I have to say it should work on anything up to Win7. After that I don't know for sure, it depends on if Win versions after 7 have a command interpreter built in.
The batch file is included in the same post in the files area for downloading the package (https://rpug.pdc.ca/index.php/topic,265.msg2840.html#msg2840)

Hi Tim,
Thank you for all your work, but unfortunately I didn't get very far. I have RP assistant V1.03 on this confuser so I ran the offline installer and got the following error messages.
RailPro Assistant v3.00 offline Installer
v1.0 by The other Tim
You use this offline installer at your own risk. It should work for any verions
of Windows though it has not been tested on any version other than XP. You may
need to run this batch file with administrator rights.
Press the Control (CTRL) and C keys together to exit now (and then press Y
when asked to terminate the batch job) or
Press any key to continue . . .
