Not everywhere, today we have rain & about +6°C ... at this time of the year we usually have snow & temperatures well below 0°C ...

+6°C sounds pretty darned chilly to me!

I cannot even run WinHeist as I get a security error as the program cannot write to its config file, which is in the application directory. You may also want to look at the initial data directory thing, and just show the dialog if the path doesn't exist on first run.

I haven't updated WinHeist to run on Window 8+, mainly because I don't have access to an Weight machine.
I've been so busy since early summer since I moved to Beaufort I just haven't had time or motivation to fool with it.

Do you have Win7 or Vista(!)? Those will have the same issue with security. Simply moving anything you need to write to from the application directory to the AppData directory should fix it.

I've got Weven Pro and VS2010, will that work? I've not done any research or had any inkling to do any Weight development so have no idea as to whether my system will do the job. I've got a couple more days of work to do and then I'll be free to work on it...plus it's going to be cold all week so won't be going out and will try to break away from other development I've got going and work on it some. Additionally some time next week I'll be getting my Beagle Bone Black so I want to get this and the Autonomous Rover article out of the way.
Maybe I should put out a shout for Weight Beta testers?
I've threatened to retire before but this time I mean it...oh wait I am retired.

I had no idea what WinHeist was until now. Seeing 1N4004 in a screenshot brought a wide smile to my face. Fond memories of hardware hacking. Thanks, Mike!

Welcome Ravi.
Since I've retired it's become one of my passions to reacquaint myself with embedded devices, electroincs and programming.

Since this is related to directory access rights (introduced in Vista), Win7 should work. Just place configuration files in the AppData directory and you should be good to go.

Will do thanks again for the heads up, should be able to get to it next week!

Thanks. WinHeist looks like an awesome program. I can't wait to be able to use it!

Mitchell,
I'm getting real close to having a Beta ready to test, probably tomorrow. Would you be willing to be a tester?
If not no big deal I would just like someone with Windows 8 to be a tester since I don't have a weight machine.
If you do decide to do it I will put it on my site for download and if you would give me feedback after testing.
Thanks,
Mike

I have a beta version of WinHeist ready if you're still interested you can get it from my site WinHeist 2.0 Beta[^]
Any feedback would be appreciated.

I had just copied some code from one project to another, and VS 2013 Premium labeled every character as an error. The error window showed the message 'Too many errors!' and VS then decided to crash and burn. I reopened the solution, and no more errors.

It was a test of your character. VS has given up since you wouldn't. VS can now be seen as a regular at a sleazy local bar.

And so one of my tasks will be to take down and pack away Christmas until next year.
The house always looks so bare for a couple of weeks - but at least I don't have to fight the cat on a daily basis to keep decorations on the tree!
You lot down and packed away yet? Or are you like some of the locals who just turn the decorations off at the end of Jan, and then turn them back on in July?

I hadn't planned to decorate at all this year, but my neighbor had other ideas. I arrived home from work one night in December to find my pinus elderica[^] covered in bright lights, and an extension cord running across several yards to his house. I left them up until last weekend, then took them down and returned them to the neighbor.

I don't even need to guess; I've long known about your evil tendencies, Marc, and heartily approved.

Hehehe... No, I don't have anything available in C5 caliber. It was very thoughtful of him to decorate, and I respect his reasons. He has 4 little kids, and only had visitation rights for two days at Christmas and no time or money to illuminate his own house. He hasn't even got a tree. But the kids love my house, my tree, my dog. When the kids arrived for Christmas, the tree was lit, the neighborhood looked bright and beautiful thereby, and they had a wonderful Christmas with Dad. I'm glad I could contribute the tree. Maybe next year I'll sneak over to his house and plant a tree!
