Anyone else experience problems installing on build 7000? The x86 MSI works fine for me in Vista, but crashes in Win7 build 7000.

I’ve got it installed on an x64 Win7 build 7000 machine but dont have an x86 to test on at the moment. The only problem I had installing was that it didn’t show up in the main menu until I saved the settings for the plugin inside Media Center by going to the Extras Library and accessing the app from there.

I take that back there is a problem with certain installers on build 7000. I’ve posted a fix to get around crashing MSI installers right here that should help.

Tried to make the registry tweak, but I don’t actually have that key in my registry. Weird.

Comment #24 from MHealy [Reply]

Do have a registry key for “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions” ?

I renamed the whole thing to “_DisabledSessions” but I also had the “MachineThrottling” string as well. Are you running just Windows 7 or perhaps as a virtual box or something?

I am running Windows 7 Beta 64 bit (build 7000). HeatWave installs without any errors but when I try to launch it from within MediaCenter I get an error that says “Invald Application” then “Unable to launch ‘HeatWave’”. Any ideas why this is? I really want to be able to run this in Windows 7.

I’m not sure why that would be happening. I’ve installed it on numerous builds in both 32-bit and 64-bit and never had a problem launch the plug-in from inside Media Center. Are you certain you’ve got the x64 version downloaded and installed?

I have Windows 7 x32 Build 7227 and this installer worked fine, but the application inside of MC fails with the same error as WCFJ. I noticed it installed a service, so I restarted that but it didn’t resolve the issue.

Not sure what the deal is.

One more for the above,

Thanks

I haven’t tested the plugin with any version above the RC 7100 release. Something may have changed or be bugged in later beta versions.

Another plugin broken in Win 7 RTM…

Unfortunately I don’t have the source code and was only able to adjust the msi settings. I’ll see what I can find though.

Any Luck Michael,

This looks awesome.

I also have it running on x86 pre RTM. It doesn’t work on my Newly purchased HTPC running x64 rtm Windows 7.

Would love to be able to use this plugin.

Anyone know if this can be modified to work on RTM – its easily the nicest weather solution

Michael Healy

@Reply #3080 from Michael Healy [Reply]

Unfortunately, I don’t believe the source code was ever made available for this plugin so it seems unlikely that it can be modified to work properly with the RTM.

I used this on the Windows 7 beta . I’m not sure what build it was. I just received a windows 7 ultimate in the mail (not beta, the real thing) and it is not working. It says invalid application, unable to launch. I really liked this app and hope to use it again.

It looks like the developer has this in his queue to fix

The links posted in this article only work with the beta and RC versions of 7….for the RTM versions use:

32-bit: http://www.jasmio.com/Downloads/HeatWave.Win32.1.2.0.0.msi

64bit:

There’s a 1.2 update to this software that will work properly with Win 7. It’s available now on The Green Button.

I have had this installed on a while on my Win7 Ultimate x64 machine and have noticed that the time for Sydney is 1 hour forward. The time I have for Perth and London is fine, and my machine synchronises with the internet for time and is accurate and set to Sydney time. How can this be an hour out? Clearly its not reading the settings from the OS. Anyone know where to fix this DST issue as thats what I’m guessing this is
Thanks

When I try to run the installer, I get a message stating that Heatwave can only be installed on a Windows Vista machine. I have tried both links on this page. I’m running Windows 7 x64.

Last week, HeatWave stopped getting my weather statistics. All I see is “N/A” all over the place.

I can browse to weather.com from a browser on the same machine, so I know my network connectivity is good.

Any thoughts?

Looks like it’s dead. Apparently something about the feed from weather.com has changed and the plug-in is busted. The jasmio website looks to be long gone too.

Just found this. Weather.com has killed it basically. It’s possible that someone will update the code to use another feed. Maybe the author will update it or at least release the code to open source – hopefully.

This comment is correct. It’s broken for good.

@Reply #59553 from mrbeezle [Reply]

Why can’t the feed be changed to accuweather? It seems a easy enough task for the right person. It would also be nice to have a scroller, or pop-up for sever weather alerts, but that’s for another forum i guess.
