Issue with latest versions of LogView for WSJT-X as notified by KF5I :
The issue is that newer versions of the WSJT-X do not put the version indicator in the same place in the Windows registry so it is hard to be sure what version is currently installed. Each version creates a new key location and entry.
I have updated the code to V1.0.1.8 which allows the software to be run without checking that version detail at all by looking for /SKIPVERSIONCHECK in the properties of the shortcut – essentially the command line for the software.
Download the newest release, add the extra detail to the command line, and all should be ok.
V 1.0.1.8 : The only change from v1.7 is that there is now a command line option to place in the properties of the shortcut. Adding /SKIPVERSIONCHECK bypasses the error detection that causes the "Old WSJT-X version notification - You are not using the latest version of the WSJT-X software. Go to the https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html to get the latest version to install. You need to install before this software will operate." message. With this option in place, it should work with any V2 release of WSJT-X.
