Hoping someone knows how to get it installed using current Windows 10. I've tried everything suggested by others and by the instructions and I cannot run the ballistics program side of it for load development. Everything else seems to open fine.
 
Hmmm. I've never had a problem. You may have to install as an administrator. It's been so long since I did it, I don't recall. Do you have a current version of QL? One of the upgrades revised it for windows 7-10, IIRC. If the version is old, it would need to be installed as legacy software. You can also contact NECO and get updates for much less than the new program costs.
 
The software is brand new, I've never used it in the past. Win10 HE is the latest version. Apparently, QL doesn't like Win10 as it wants to install and shortcut on the desktop and Mr. Gates says, sorry you aren't going to do that like any other software.
Thanks for replying.
 
There are additional instructions for installing Quickload in Windows 10 on the NECO website. Essentially all Quickload files are installed correctly but it hangs on the shortcut, so you need to just terminate the install program at that point. The instructions are located here.
 
It sounds like he's got 3.9, so that issue should be cleared up.

VNVet,

I don't know what you've tried, so this may be redundant, but hover your cursor over the install filename and right-click and the option to "Run as administrator" should be near the top of the flyout menu. If it isn't, then you may not be logging in as an administrator and you will have to get into your user profile permissions to fix that. I won't go into it here. But assuming you do see that option, click on it and see if things turn out differently.
 
I finally figured out the problem. I had to go into command prompt and make a change for administrator full functionality by changing a permission parameter to run as Admin. Something I've never done in over 25 years of using computers. By doing so it also eliminated a step the instructions in QL said I had to do in task manager. It's very rare for me to enter into the belly of the beast without help where danger exists if you make a mistake. Been there, dunit and regretted it.

Thanks for the help.
 
Well done. I have been working on my command skills and formatting drives off the restore disk.

Had to shift to Admin mode for that as well (even tough I am an Administrator on the machine).

Got to love Billy Boy Gates. I started in CPS where the program was open sourced.

I was semi famous in the Kaypro group as I figured out how to have the machine come up in 1.5 spacing default.
 
Confused me because I am the admin in every area with full permissions. So when getting error msg saying: I don't have permission, is frustrating. Only in Windows.
 
Pardon my being a party pooper, we all want to help, but this is NOT a reloading question, or a gun question, it is a computer tech question, and one that does not involve TFL's operation, so, it does not belong in this forum.
 
Yeah, you're a party pooper. And, you probably rain on the parades. And no doubt, you burn the marshmallows. And you probably pop little kids bubbles in the park. Yup. You're a meanie. ;)

But hey, to all who did chime in on the QL issue, thanks again.

Now back to load developing.

Hmmmm.... where would problems w/ one of the Advanced
Handloader's primary analytical tools more properly fit in TFL ?
 
Notice that since I was an honor grad of Mrs Brown's 3rd grade class of 1955,
I phrased the question in my most swave & d'boner constructive way . . . .

I don't know for certain that it does. Do note, I didn't close the thread, but I don't see how this is firearms related. Yes, its a program for calculating firearms related loading data, but I see this as more of a "I can't get my car started, so I can't drive to the range" than a "why are my groups all low and left?" kind of thing.


now, help me with the zipper of my Grinch suit!! :D
 
I also thought it was borderline when I first saw it, but I know this has been a past problem for QL and I didn't know another forum the OP could post in where he could expect to find others who had experience with the software. That's what decided me on it.
 
I love it when the moderators' cat fights spill over into public view. :p

Seriously, it's a thankless job being a moderator. Everybody wants the rules enforced -- until they're the miscreant who bent, folded, spindled and mutilated the rules, at which point the poor moderator who had the temerity to call them out on it is immediately labeled a NAZI!!!

Sometimes it's not an easy call. Case in point.
