Having a Problem with AltOS...

So after a launch I connected my telemetrum to download the flight data. When I got the files out, I tried to see if I could get the files to open when i double clicked them, so I messed around with the "open with" option. What I didn't notice is that each time I changed the program the file opened with, I changed all the other AltOS files as well. c: Now the program won't open from the application file. When I tried to open the file with Java it gave me this error code twice:
No AltOS library in "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin;C:\windows\Sun\Java\bin;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin;."

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Which version of AltosUI are you using? I've been hacking in this area and trying to make it work right, but windows is a harsh place to program.

I'm using version 1.6. I was using 1.5 when it stopped working. I did a full reinstall though and now it's 1.6.

First off, can you get AltosUI to start from the menu Start menu entry or the desktop icon?

Next, I've spent a few hours (ok, more than a few, but, this is windows) hacking up the way our application starts to create a 'stub' executable that tastes like a "real" windows program that then goes and runs the Java application. I'm wondering if this will help simplify the icon association stuff and fix your installation.

Here's a preliminary version of that; it "shouldn't" cause any problems, but I haven't done any serious testing with it, other than playing with Windows file manager to make sure it works for me.

I've labeled it version 1.6.0.1 so that we can tell things apart -- in particular, the firmware images are completely untested and you should *not* load those on any actual hardware.

Thanks, I'll give that a try and get back to you.

Hey! Just tried it out and it worked! Thanks a ton!

Thanks for testing; looks like that'll be in the next release
