There should be a chirpw.exe file that starts the program (On my
Win8.1 "C:\Program Files (x86)\CHIRP\chirpw.exe")<br>
<br>
You can usually hit the windows key and start typing the command
name and the system will find the EXE.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I probably should not even be typing this
request but I have bought a baofeng f8hp radio and well, I may
as well try to use it, so…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was trying to get the chirp software
loaded so I can get it setup. I used the daily build install
from the CHIRP website. It seemed to run ok but did not give
me a desktop icon. I was following the very clear and easy
miklor instructions but I have a version of windows that does
not provide a start button, neither does it give me an “all
programs” selection (don’t ask me what version of windows I
have because I don’t know how to find that either). So I used
the “file explorer” option and found the CHIRP folder but I do
not see anything to click on to open the software. The folders
I see include: etc, lib, locale, share, stock_configs. I have
looked around in each of these but do not see any sort of .exe
file to open the software.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can someone help me understand what I am
missing in this process… I know… not a good sign if I can’t
even get the software open, not sure I’ll know what to do with
it when I do, or how I will ever configure the radio, but for
now. I just need to be able to open the CHIRP software.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
