Transferring Dietrichs to new computer?

    The folder (WINVOR) contains some files needed by the program. These files or folders should not be modified as it could affect your program’s performance. WINVOR/ENG can be copied and moved forward to a newer version.

    They have your kunde.dat in the directory WINDAT. They should copy their own kunde.dat into WINDAT. If theydo nothave their kunde.dat they should make an email to support@dietrichs.com.

    They have copied WINVOR, WINTMP, WINEXE, and WINDAT folders, from old computer to new, after I installed Dietrichs. So I don't understand why.

    Nobody? What happened was this:


    - Via remote access I installed version 7.03 on her new computer. At some instance I had to choose where to get the customer data from. I then decided to copy my kunde.dat to her computer and choose "path" in the installation program. Then I was able to finish the installation. After that I deleted my copy of the kunde.dat, that I had copied to a random location on her computer.


    - Then they have copied WINVOR, WINTMP, WINEXE, and WINDAT folders, from old computer to the new one. But the Dietrich program is asking for my hardlock key number and not hers....


    How to solve this?

    Hmm - we tried to copy these folders from the CD and then copy Winvor/eng and the kunde.dat from old computer, but now the program seems not to respond at all.


    Maybe it is better to remove the program and try and make a new clean installation of 7.03, using the correct kunde.dat file under the installation?


    To remove the program: Delete the Dietrichs folders? (important data like projects are outside C-drive - or not imported from old computer yet).

    I did the same as we talked about on page 1 - because I had to send my computer in for repair and after getting it back I have been reinstalling all programs. But now - when I try to open Project Data Program it says that "DHPDAT.INI" nicht gefunden". How to fix that?

    You can try searching for DHPDAT.* and see if it was renamed to DHPDAT.new and if it was rename it to DHPDAT.INI that should do it if it's there.

    Well - some of the files shows extensions, this, does not.... I tried to simply add .INI to the filename, but it doesn't work.


    Windows 7, Dietrichs 7.03, if it matters.


    Hmmmm?

    The extension is not shown but it exists and is just invisible. In Explorer open 'Extras' and than 'Options' (or somethin like that, it is the last function in this menu). Then select the tab 'view' (the middle one). Thee you should find the option which makes the known extensions invisible.

    Well, I cannot figure out how to show the extension. But if I right click on it and choose "properties", it says that it is a .ini file.

    Do you try to open the project data program from the menu or from the construction program?
    What happens if you try to open it from the menu?
    Did you install the program from CD or did you just copy it from another disk?

    I try to open the project data program directly. Now I just tried to open it from the construction program. It gives below error message.


    When I sent my computer in for repair, I used my old computer in the mean while. When I got my computer back from repair I copied the program from the old computer, via external harddrive, as I did, first time I installed my "new" computer.
