Download and execute the package file {win32}, following these
|
|
instructions:
|
|
|
|
* Install _WSJT-X_ into its own directory, for example `C:\WSJTX` or `
|
|
C:\WSJT\WSJTX`, rather than the conventional location `C:\Program
|
|
Files (x86)\WSJTX`.
|
|
|
|
* All program files relating to _WSJT-X_ will be stored in the chosen
|
|
installation directory and its subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
* Logs and other writeable files will normally be found in the
|
|
directory +
|
|
|
|
`C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\WSJT-X`.
|
|
|
|
TIP: Your computer may be configured so that this directory is
|
|
"`invisible`". It's there, however, and accessible. An
|
|
alternative (shortcut) directory name is
|
|
`"%LocalAppData%\WSJT-X\"`.
|
|
|
|
* The built-in Windows facility for time synchronization is usually
|
|
not adequate. We recommend the program _Meinberg NTP_ (see
|
|
{ntpsetup} for downloading and installation instructions) or
|
|
_Dimension 4_ from {dimension4}. Recent versions of Windows 10 are
|
|
now shipped with a more capable Internet time synchronization
|
|
service that is suitable if configured appropriately.

[[OPENSSL]]

|
|
From this version onward _WSJT-X_ requires the _OpenSSL_ libraries
|
|
to be installed. Suitable libraries may already be installed on your
|
|
system, if they are not you will see this error shortly after
|
|
startup. To fix this you need to install the _OpenSSL_ libraries.
|
|
|
|
** You can download a suitable _OpenSSL_ package for from
|
|
{win_openssl_packages}, you need the latest *Win32 v1.0.2 Lite*
|
|
version (Note it is the Win32 package even if you are using a
|
|
64-bit Windows operating system) which at the time of writing was
|
|
{win32_openssl}.
|
|
|
|
** Install the package and accept the default options, including the
|
|
option to copy the _OpenSSL_ DLLs to the Windows system directory
|
|
(this is important). +
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you still get the same network error after installing the
|
|
_OpenSSL_ libraries then you also need to install the
|
|
{msvcpp_redist} component. From the download page select
|
|
`vcredist_x86.exe` and run it to install.
|
|
|
|
TIP: If you cannot install the _OpenSSL_ libraries or do not have an
|
|
Internet connection on the computer used to run
|
|
_WSJT-X_ {VERSION_MAJOR}.{VERSION_MINOR}, you can download
|
|
the _LoTW_ file manually. Go to
|
|
https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-user-activity.csv in a web browser,
|
|
download the file, then move it to the _WSJT-X_ log files
|
|
directory. This directory can be opened by selecting
|
|
*File | Open log directory*.
|
|
|
|
* _WSJT-X_ expects your sound card to do its raw sampling at 48000 Hz.
|
|
To ensure that this will be so when running under recent versions of
|
|
Windows, open the system's *Sound* control panel and select in turn
|
|
the *Recording* and *Playback* tabs. Click on *Properties*, then
|
|
*Advanced*, and select *16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)*. Switch of
|
|
all audio enhancement features for these devices.
|
|
|
|
* You can uninstall _WSJT-X_ by clicking its *Uninstall* link in the
|
|
Windows *Start* menu, or by using *Uninstall a Program* on the
|
|
Windows Control Panel Programs and Features option or in Settings
|
|
Apps on Windows 10.
