Problems with high resolution charts 4 years 10 months ago #477

I installed xygrib on 4 different Computers. They all have win 10 but different builds. On two machines it works very well, but if I install it on the others, including high resolution charts the istallation does not show the charts! I tried it with online and offline installation, but no effort. Is there any additional special software needed, to show the charts? Fortunately I have still installed zygrib, cause i'm a sailer and need this programm for my safe trips.

Hi,
Were you able to select 'Earth->Map Quality->Resolution 5' ?

No, I'm not able to select any resolution.
There is a hook at resolution one, but xygrib shows absolutely nothing! No charts. If I select the showing of citinames, they appear, but not the charts. Its a miracle, cuase on the other two systems I have, it works from the first momet without problems.

I suspect that this has to do with user / administrator rights.
It is important to install the program as the regular user that will be using it.
It may also be an issue of special characters (umlauts and other diacritics) in the user name. Try with a plain ASCII user name.
Please also do the following check:
- In windows file explorer select 'View', then in the menu ribbon select 'Show Hidden Files'
- Check to see if XyGrib static data files have been installed at the following location:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\openGribs\XyGrib\data

All data files are in the right place and complete. I deinstalled xygrib from the machine and reinstalled it with the onlineinstaller as administrator again. No efford. But the name of the name of the user directory contains an norwegian character "ø". I dont no, how to change the name of this directory and I think this is very difficult. Is there any other way to get the charts??

There is a work around.
Move the entire 'data' folder structure from the user appdata location to the folder where XyGrib is installed (Program Files (x86)).
Make sure the original location is deleted as XyGrib will look there first.
