Re: [xl7] Re: E-Loader not working after XP update?

Thanx Scott, that's pretty much right on target with what I was thinking 
too.   I'll download the latest version of Sun Java and see if that helps 
at all.

Since you are having installer problems, I suspect the problems are 
related to 
the Java VM not being fully compatible with the new version of XP. The 
installer uses the Sun Java VM as does E-Loader. It seems that M$ is 
always 
doing something to send the Java world into fits...

I'll have to look into the problems. I'll have to get an XP+SP1 system 
setup,
which may take a couple of weeks. There may be a way to manually hack the
current installer and/or E-Loader to work, or it may require a new 
release. I 
won't know until I get a test setup. Until then, I guess that using 
E-Loader 1.0
is the only guaranteed workaround. Unfortunately, that means a loss of USB
support, as well as a number of other enhanced features being lost.

The MIDISport problems should not have anything to do with the inability 
to
install, so I don't think that is the core problem.

So far in the postings I haven't seen anyone else able to confirm the 
problems
XP+SP1. If someone else can do that, that might be helpful. But beware
because if you install SP1 you apparently run the risk of losing E-Loader 
1.1
operation. But if someone happens to have a system they are willing to
experiment with, that would be helpful.
