OK I did a silly thing - after installing the ASV update version I got rid of all previous AS versions to create more disk space. Now when I try to open ASV I get the following error message..... "Failed to load control "ChilkatZip' from ChilkatZip.dll. Your version of ChilkatZip.dll may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application"I can not now reinstall the update as it will look for the missing AS2004.5 - tried to use system restore but to no avail - please help!Thanks

You should be able to do an install/uninstall from control panel. Then select repair. What has happened is that some dlls became "unregistered" when you uninstalled.If this does not work, install AS2004.5. Then install ASV. It is only the 1st stage of the install that requires the old version. Once you have done this, you can delete AS2004, and then do the second stage install of ASV. As you might guess, I have been through this myself, and not, it is not stupid to want to uninstall AS2004. It is possible :-)Steve

Thanks Steve - I managed to locate the original folder with the ASV installation file and selected the "Repair" function - this has thankfully worked, even without any hint of the old AS2004 files and folders and I'm up in the air again with great weather - thanks again - Dave
