Download and execute the package file {win32} (Windows 7 or later,
|
|
32-bit) or {win64} (Windows 7 or later, 64-bit) 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 ...\WSJTX`.
|
|
|
|
* All program files relating to _WSJT-X_ are stored in the chosen
|
|
installation directory and its subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
* Logs and other writeable files are normally 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 Client_: see
|
|
{ntpsetup} for downloading and installation instructions. Recent
|
|
versions of Windows 10 are now shipped with a more capable Internet
|
|
time synchronization service that is suitable if configured
|
|
appropriately. We do not recommend SNTP time setting tools or others
|
|
that make periodic correction steps, _WSJT-X_ requires that the PC
|
|
clock be monotonically increasing and smoothly continuous.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Having a PC clock that appears to be synchronized to UTC is not
|
|
sufficient. "`Monotonically increasing`" means that the clock
|
|
must not be stepped backwards. "`Smoothly continuous`" means
|
|
that time must increase at a nearly constant rate, without
|
|
steps. Any necessary clock corrections must be applied by
|
|
adjusting the rate of increase, thereby correcting
|
|
synchronization errors gradually.

|
|
|
|
* _WSJT-X_ requires installation of the _OpenSSL_ libraries. Suitable
|
|
libraries may already be installed on your system. If they are not,
|
|
you will see this error shortly after requesting a fetch of the
|
|
latest LoTW users database. To fix this, install the _OpenSSL_
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
** You can download a suitable _OpenSSL_ package for Windows from
|
|
{win_openssl_packages}; you need the latest *Windows Light*
|
|
version. For the 32-bit _WSJT-X_ build, use the latest Win32 v1.1.1
|
|
version of the _OpenSSL_ libraries, for the 64-bit _WSJT-X_ use the
|
|
latest Win64 v1.1.1 version of the _OpenSSL_ libraries (Note: it is
|
|
OK to install both versions on a 64-bit system) which, at the time
|
|
of writing, were {win32_openssl} and {win64_openssl} respectively.
|
|
|
|
** Install the package and accept the default options, including the
|
|
option to copy the _OpenSSL_ DLLs to the Windows system
|
|
directory. There is no obligation to donate to the _OpenSSL_
|
|
project. Un-check all the donation options if desired. +
|
|
|
|
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` for use with the 32-bit _WSJT-X_ build or
|
|
`vcredist_x64.exe` with the 64-bit build, then 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* from the main menu.
|
|
|
|
* _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 *Properties*, then
|
|
*Advanced*, and select *16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)*. Switch off
|
|
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.
