Mark_Fox 0 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I have NDP v1.0.3.5. I am trying to update PFPX where the NavData folder is located on a networked drive on my client computer. "Open Directory" does not show any shared drives.I can locate the proper folder going thru the network, however the update rejects the location as Path not found. All networked folders have correct permissions. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted October 13, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted October 13, 2016 Confirmed. For some reason the dilaogbox doesn't show mapped drives when you want to change the path. I can select the path via "My Network" but then the update failes. Maybe it is a Windows 10 issue (although it worked before). We'll check this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark, do you remember if it worked it the previous version of NDP client? For the moment you can try theses steps. Navigate to the folder 'bin' in the NavDataPro installation folder, normally it is: c:\aeroSOFT\NavDataPro\bin\ Make a backup copy of the file 'prop_ini.xml'. Now you can edit the prop_ini.xml with any text editor. Search for the entry for PFPX and edit the path to your mapped network drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_Fox 0 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 It did work before. Have 1.0.3.6 now. Same issue. Networked install locations come up in RED and are still not selectable from "Open Directory". I believe the last working version for me was 3.3 perhaps. Tried modifying the path entry with no success, I did manage to create a new download folder on my main computer and copied the downloaded info into the networked NavData folder (with the exception of the user data file). PFPX's route database was updated in this manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Guenter Zehnel 77 Posted October 21, 2016 Administrator Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi Mark, we will check it. At the moment I don't have any idea why this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted October 21, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted October 21, 2016 Günther, just to give you an impression: that' what I see when opening the "Change Path" window in Navdata Pro: Please login to display this image. As you can see, all mapped drives are missing like I see them, when opening the same Windows dialog in any other application: Please login to display this image.

Mark_Fox 0 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Still can't update Nav Data across a network using NDP. Must be the only one with this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_Fox 0 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 No luck. Still unable to find networked folders, even with 1.0.4.0. Subscription ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted February 2, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 2, 2017 I don't use NavDataPro so I can't give it a try myself. What happens if you enter the complete folder path manually into the "Folder" text box within the "Open Directory" window instead of selecting it in the above tree/folder view?

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted February 4, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 4, 2017 Just a thought, what if you switch temporarily your Windows firewall off? Of course switching it on again after a quick test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course switching it on again after a quick test. Windows Firewall is always off on both machines. I appreciate your help Tom, but unfortunately I had to move on. Cheers sir.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted February 4, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hi Mark, I fully understand your decision. Nevertheless I would like to pin the problem down, as it also has been reported by other users. I don't think that there has been a specific code change within NavDataPro that causes this problem. I tend much more to think of some system settings that might have been modified by a regular Windows update. If anyone else having this problem and reading this post, please give the suggestion (registry key) in the following article a try: http://www.winability.com/how-to-make-elevated-programs-recognize-network-drives/ As a more quick litmus test, you could also start NavDataPro without elevated access privileges (i.e. not as administrator). If the above given theory about the cause of this problem is correct, you should see the mapped network drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
