<font size="-1">Hi Dan / all,<br>
<br>
I'd like to add a new file to the Wiki library, and later also to
edit / consolidate some others. I can already edit; do I need
extra privileges to add new files or to remove others?<br>
<br>
This simple short one, "</font><font size="-1"><font size="-1">Running
Chirp under Windows" would be added:<br>
<br>
</font></font>
<blockquote><font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier,
monospace">h1. Running CHIRP Under Windows</font></font><br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">{{>toc}}</font></font><br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Running
Chirp under Windows is pretty straight-forward, but it has
some traps to offer. You can run into a few situations in
which a little doing is needed before Chirp starts correctly.</font></font><br>
<br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">h2.
Corrupt Chirp configuration file</font></font><br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">If
Chirp just does nothing when you try to start it, then its
configuration file might have been damaged: Windows 10 has a
bad habit of corrupting it.</font></font><br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Solution:
Delete the chirp.config file. The next time CHIRP is loaded, a
new chirp.config file will be created. The chirp.config file
is kept in the same folder as the debug.log file (it might be
in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\CHIRP\chirp.config).</font></font><br>
<br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">h2.
Non-standard character in program path</font></font><br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">CHIRP
won't load when the Windows user account has a special
character (accented characters, umlauts, characters which
aren't in the latin alphabet) in it.</font></font><br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Solution:
Put Chirp somewhere into a path which doesn't contain special
characters.</font></font><br>
<br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">h2.
You get an "Error opening file for writing: c:\program files
(x86)\chirp\_ctypes.pyd"</font></font><br>
<br>
<font size="-1"><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Solution:
Run Chirp with Administrator privileges.</font></font><br>
