Chrissaf Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 My daily RM version check shows that a new RM download is now available from the download link at the top of the RM forum. The file is 300K bigger than the file it replaces and reports in properties to be version 1.68.I know no more than that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 1.68 Release notes:./media/tinymce_upload/0b07f4f1af8ea61a153d617b08e9a9df.jpg.Adam has been 'on the ball' and updated the download link description to show 1.68 already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David12 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'll be checking it out thoroughly to see if the signal/point interlocking problems I reported nearly two months ago have been returned the v1.66 correct state! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I just reported in a previous problem not fixed yet and HRMS replied saying this update is purely to add 2018 locos, and that previously reported snags will be dealt with in the next update.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1ngr4y Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It is very disappointing that this is all they have managed in the 2 months since 1.67 was released. I would have thought that the addition of locos to the database wouldn't have warranted a version update - maybe just a Revision update?

Chrissaf Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Maybe HRMS decided on a version update to invoke the auto-update process which wouldn't necessarily have been invoked with just a revision update. Given that there appears to be a significant number of new locos added (file size being 300K bigger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David12 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Just as suspected and confirmed by Rob above, there are no bug fixes in this release. It utterly amazes me how HMRS are allowed to get away with selling product that is clearly not functioning as stated in the manual, especially when previous software versions worked almost perfectly. Surely this is becoming a case for Trading Standards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billhayleytwo Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I have just tried to upload the update but there seems to be a mjor problem with it .It says it cant find the file to rename code 183. With the options to abhort or ignore. Dont ignore abhort i cant get into railmaster as it stops when trying to load this file which I assume is railmaster.exe. I have tried to uninstall and start again but I cant get rid of railmaster .exe file. Any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Download again from the link at page top and ask to save, then once complete go to your downloads folder and right click to install the .exe as administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billhayleytwo Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Download again from the link at page top and ask to save, then once complete go to your downloads folder and right click to install the .exe as administrator.Still come up with error code 183 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Do not uninstall RM, without first deactivating it. Else trying to activate it again will fail. Read page 131 & 132 of the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billhayleytwo Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I know but as I couldnt open RailMaster I coulnt deactivate it. I cant reinstall it because ther is a corrupt railmaster.ext programm in the railamaster directory. Which I am unable to remove with either DOS or Mcfee shredding it. It would appear that it can only be removed by Hornby. It is a problem with this particular Dell computer as 1.68.0 has updated ok on my Windows 10 Laptop and the computer that actual runs the railway which uses XP. The Dell is in my warm study and is used for train maintenance purposes not in the cold attic where the layout is! I have flagged it up with support.Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Restart Windows in 'Safe Mode'. You should then be able to delete the file. How to start in 'Safe Mode' will depend upon the version of Windows on your Dell. Google "Starting Windows x in safe mode" where x = your version of Windows.

billhayleytwo Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 .Thanks for all your help I used the 1.67 download set up with admin rights. Hey presto no problems even retained the activation key!. Then upgraded to 1.68 OK and even managed to get the e link working with it amazing 1.68 seems to make that easier.Bill.
