[chirp_users] Trouble loading Chirp on a laptop

[Scott Raines]

Hey Dave,
 I surely appreciate you assisting me in this matter. I followed your instructions and, guess what, Houston, we still have a problem. Yep, it’s still a no-go. I can get that link you provided into the “Downloads” file. But, when I click on that exe. file with the right mouse button, yes, one of the options is, “Run as an Administrator”. But, when I click on that option,  it goes right back to the same exact screen that you click on to download the EXE file. The exe. file will load and load and load, but that’s all that’s loaded. There is no Chirp file that I can follow all the prompts. The exe file just keeps cycling. I hate to sound like a phenomenal DUMMY here but, apparently, that’s what I am.

Hello Scott,

Here is the link to download the latest CHIRP.
https://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/LATEST/chirp-daily-20190206-installer.exe

Paste that into your browser, and then press ENTER.

Hopefully your browser will ask you what to do with the file
chirp-daily-20190206-installer.exe -- the answer is you want to SAVE
AS.  I put my download files in a folder called "Downloads".

Note:  CHIRP runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. Older
versions of Windows are not supported


When it is finished saving, using Windows Explorer (the file explorer)
go to Downloads, and find chirp-daily-20190206-installer.exe.  Select
it with the mouse arrow, then use the right mouse button and click the
button and there will be a menu, you want to use "Open As
Administrator".  Open or Run is the same meaning so if it says "Run As
Administrator" that's OK - I just cannot remember which it says. Click
Open (or Run) as administrator with the left mouse button.

Follow the prompts and install CHIRP.

Here is the page on problems with Drivers under Windows - if you have
the cable sold by your radio maker's company, you won't have a problem
but "cheap" cables often are counterfeit.

This page will help you find which COM port your cable is hooked up to:

need to use Device Manager.  How to is on this page.

Hope this helps.
