SSDR upgrade problem
Joe Veras
Member ✭✭
Radio: 6300
Computer: AMD A10-6800 16GB / Win7 - 64
Using Netgear WNDR4500 Router to radio
Problem: Installed SSDR 1.3.8 this morning. Radio worked great. Turned radio off (stopped SSDR) and when I restarted, a screen popped up saying I had to update the software. The only choice given was a "Downgrade" back to 1.3. Did that. Had to do a complete new setup.
Reinstalled 1.3.8. Everything working fine again after doing yet another new setup (as if I were installing everything for the first time).
1.3.8 working great again. Stopped SSDR and turned the radio off. Powered it back up and . . . you guessed it . . . Received the popup box saying I had to "Downgrade" Again. Very Tedious.
Help!!

Are you selecting the appropriate program icon? If you select 1.3.0 rather than 1.3.8 it will do a downgrade.1

Hey I had the same issue. I was clicking on the 1.30 icon on my desktop and not the 1.38 one. That happens first thing in the morning with no coffee

Thanks, Tim and Steve-
I'll check after supper. I'll bet I clicked the older icon, but will check it again to be sure.0 -
Duh . . . That was it, guys! Thanks-

Personally, I remove old version shortcuts from my desktop as soon as a new one goes on, Then late at night I don't click the wrong one and expend excess energy saying the words "why me?" and jumping up and down :-)
I know why Flex doesn't remove them so depending on how you work with your desktop this solution might work.

I think a bunch of us have been "burned" by that one! Each new level installs its own code and icons, leaving the previous one there. I'm guessing that was intentional so you could backlevel it easily, if needed.1
