<DIV><FONT size=2>I have been using the Patch (since last february), without any
problems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>However, </FONT><FONT size=2>I have had the 6.5 program
re-installed from CdRom prior to installing the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>latest Patch, </FONT><FONT size=2>i.e. as I was forced to do
so from a previous (older, but wrong) Patch</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>not being able to </FONT><FONT size=2>finish </FONT><FONT
size=2>correctly, eg at that time (last january) I was not getting
the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>congratulations </FONT><FONT size=2>message </FONT><FONT
size=2>at the end of the Patch's </FONT><FONT size=2>installation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The Patches now available at the Equis' web-site, are the
correct ones, tho.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>As such, your problems will be due to Registry-keys and
settings, either not being</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>present or being </FONT><FONT size=2>incorrect/having
changed or file(s) missing or not being maintained</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>correctly by the MetaStock program(s).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Many reasons can have caused this, but one frequent returning
cause is when users</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>install to a different main program-folder, eg other then is
suggested during setup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Best is to stick to the factory default C:\Equis-folder,
where the drive C: can </FONT><FONT size=2>be set</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to any other drive, eg for example D: or E:.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In your situation, making lots of notes first, of your current
settings (eg I wish Equis</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>would </FONT><FONT size=2>put all of these settings onto 1 or
2 pages only, so you can also print them)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and then making a backup copy of the current Equis-set of
folders (C:\Equis\...)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to </FONT><FONT size=2>a temp-folder </FONT><FONT size=2>(eg
C:\Temp\Equis), then </FONT><FONT size=2>un-installing the current program
via</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Start|ControlPanel|Software|Add/Remove Programs, then
</FONT><FONT size=2>rebooting for changes to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>take effect, and then to re-install fresh from your 6.5-CdRom
will be your </FONT><FONT size=2>best and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>also the easiest way out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Subject: 6.52 Update Problem</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>> I downloaded the 6.52 MetaStock EOD patch (MSW652.EXE,
4.72MB) and ran it,<BR>> but encountered a problem.<BR>> <BR>> At 37%
Overall completion, when it said it was "Processing Mswin\MSWIN.EXE",<BR>>
the update program just terminates, and appears not to have accomplished<BR>>
anything.<BR>> <BR>> Do any of you have a suggestion as to what may be the
problem?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The problems are described on the "updates.html"-page(see at
the bottom), and only </FONT><FONT size=2>relate</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to the Patch not being able </FONT><FONT size=2>to
find </FONT><FONT size=2>the right files or Registry-entries.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> <BR>> The only thing I can think of is that I
replaced the motherboard on this<BR>> machine, and doubled the memory, a few
months back.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Is not relivant here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> <BR>> Do you think I should just re-install. I
fear losing my set-up going that<BR>> route, and hope the problem is
something else I'm overlooking.<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Fear not, there are also good sites to it. </FONT><FONT
size=2>From re-installing (several times) you will get to know</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the program better and </FONT><FONT size=2>better,
and you will now know where all the (optional) settings are to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>be found too. If you haven't </FONT><FONT size=2>re-installed
recently, you will also finaly get a cleaned out set
of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>main folders, sub-folders </FONT><FONT size=2>and dta-files
(eg the "C:\Equis\....\....." set of factory default-folders</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and indicator formulas/explorations/experts/systests' set of
dta-files, so make notes and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>copies of these folders and files).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<LI><FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG>MSW652.EXE</STRONG></FONT>
<P>This patch will upgrade anyone with <B>MetaStock for Windows End-of-Day
version 6.5</B>. This will work on any 6.5 install or from any previous 6.5
patch. This patch contains the Euro and Y2K adjustments and will update your
version of The DownLoader to 6.52 also. <BR><EM>(dated 2/8/99, 4.8
Mb)</EM></P>
<P>We recommend everyone owning MetaStock for Windows 6.5 use this patch. To
find out if you own this version choose About from the MetaStock Help
menu.</P>
<P>Download the file and double-click on it. The patch will install
automatically. Once it is installed you will receive a message telling you the
programs were successfully patched. After the patch has installed, reboot your
computer to run MetaStock for Windows.</P>
<P>This Patch will patch open files. If you inadvertently apply this patch
while MetaStock is running the patch will continue and tell you that you must
reboot for the changes to take affect. When you reboot the files that were
open will be updated. Note: If you do not reboot and try to run MetaStock for
Windows, it will not run correctly.</P><B>
<P>Please note the following to try and avoid problems when utilizing this
patch:</B><BR>If you upgraded version 6.5 to version 6.52 with a previous
patch and then re-installed version 6.5 to a new different folder this patch
will update the version 6.5 in the new folder. It WILL NOT update the previous
patched 6.52 version because it will look at the 6.5 registry key to find
version 6.5. This will point to the new folder not the old 6.52 folder. This
patch will give you a complete version 6.52 in the new folder...</P>
<P>However, if you have deleted the registry entries and have not re-set them
by entering the Tools|Options dialog and pressing OK or by re-installing
version 6.5 then this patch will probably fail. If you have a problem with
this patch, and you are certain you downloaded the entire file (4.8 Mb) you
should uninstall version 6.5 and reinstall it. Then, run this patch to bring
you to version 6.52.</P>
<LI><FONT color=#0000ff><STRONG>Msw652a.exe </STRONG></FONT>
<P>This patch will upgrade anyone with <B>MetaStock for Windows 95 & NT
End-of-Day version 6.52</B>, if you used the patch dated 1/22/99 to update
your version 6.5, or installed MetaStock for Windows 95 & NT End-of-Day
version 6.52 from a new version 6.52 CD-ROM. If you used an earlier dated
patch to update from version 6.5 to version 6.52, you should reinstall version
6.5 and utilize the full patch. This patch contains fixes for the "Date
requested is after the last date in the data" error when opening charts. This
patch also corrects a problem in The DownLoader for Windows 95 & NT
"Traverse Destination Folders" during conversions as well as the conversion of
intra-day data files. <BR><EM>(dated 2/26/99, 832 kb)</EM></P>
<P>We recommend everyone owning MetaStock for Windows 95 & NT 6.52 dated
1/22/99 (program build date 1/21/99) or later use this patch. We also
recommend everyone owning The DownLoader for Windows 95 & NT version 6.52
use this patch. To find out if you own this version choose <B>About</B> from
the MetaStock <B>Help </B>menu. (Or The DownLoader <B>Help</B> menu (where
appropriate)).</P>
<P>Download the file and double-click on it. The patch will install
automatically. Once it is installed you will receive a message telling you the
programs were successfully patched. After the patch has installed, reboot your
computer to run MetaStock for Windows 95 & NT.</P>
<P>This Patch will patch open files. If you inadvertently apply this patch
while MetaStock is running the patch will continue and tell you that you must
reboot for the changes to take affect. When you reboot the files that were

<P>
<P>Most patches are full program files in a compressed format. When you
double-click on the patch, the files uncompress and replace the existing
program files. Other patches are mini-applications that fix a small
problem in an existing file. Most Equis patches are of the first variety.
All patches need the full version of the program be installed on the hard
drive before they can run.
<P><BIG><B>Errors</B></BIG>
<P>All Equis patches will congratulate you upon completion. If you run a
patch and do not get a message that says your program has been updated,
something went wrong.
<P>Some errors when running a patch are due to an incomplete download of
the patch file. To verify you downloaded the complete patch, compare the
size indicated on the web site with the file that is now on your hard
drive. If the description of the patch on the web site says the patch is
2.1 mb and the size of the file in Windows Explorer is 2,122 KB, you
downloaded the full patch. If Windows Explorer says the size is 1,423 KB,
there was an error downloading the patch and you need to try downloading
it again.
<P>Another common error when running a patch is missing files or
information. A patch looks for the files it is supposed to replace, and
also looks for information in the Windows registry. If a file or registry
entry is missing, the patch will quit without completing its installation.
<P>With both of these errors, part of the patch will run, but you will not
get a congratulations message at the end. When this happens, first check
the file size as described above. If the file size is correct, you will
need to reinstall the original product, and then run the patch again.
<P><B><BIG>Installing the patch</BIG></B>
<P>All of the patches posted on our web site this year will install from
anywhere on your hard drive. Earlier patches did need to be placed in the
appropriate folder before being run. Check the patch description to see
which type of patch you are downloading. If it is a new patch, the easiest
thing to do is save it to your desktop and run it from there.
<OL>
<LI>When the Save As dialog appears, click the Up One Level button (the
yellow folder with an upwards pointing arrow) until the Save in: box at
the top says <B>Desktop</B>.
<LI>Verify that the filename is the name of the patch.
<LI>Click Save, then wait for a message indicating that the download is
complete.
<LI>You should then see the patch on your desktop. Double-click on it,
and the patch will do the rest. </LI></OL>
<P>If it is an old patch that needs to be run from a specific location,
follow these steps:
<OL>
<LI>When the Save As dialog appears, click the Up One Level button (the
yellow folder with an upwards pointing arrow) until the Save in: box at
the top says <B>My Computer</B>.
<LI>Navigate to the appropriate folder. (If the patch needs to be run
from C:\Equis\Dlwin, double-click the C: drive, then double-click Equis,
then double-click Dlwin.)
<LI>Verify that the filename is the name of the patch.
<LI>Click Save, then wait for a message indicating that the download is
complete.
<LI>Now double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and navigate
to that folder. (repeat step 2 - double-click C:, then Equis, then
Dlwin)
<LI>Double-click on the patch file to run it. </LI></OL><!---END EXPLANATION---><!---END MAIN PAGE---></FONT> <!---BOTTOM LINKS--->

Haven't looked at it, but also the use of the (still manualy)
