I was found that users do not read help  file type. chm where I described exactly how to properly install the program and then report to me with errors reports  That's why I developed the special installation program   INSTALL_UPGRADE_BUREAU.exe    begin from  version of v 2.2.10 and installs program in a correct way and configure it. If exists  any installed erroneously files deletes it. In terms of configuration and adaptation Logger32 to work with my program BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe program  will show icons where the user will be "led by the hand" windows-like "wizard", ie. what must  in  a Logger32 .        Installation program does not write anything to the registry Windows PCs
After running progrm INSTALL_UPGRADE_BUREAU.exe reports to us first the following  configuration window

 

First window for configuration

First window for configuration

These fields do not require any special description. Only two things are important here

change the language in which the resulting program and the installation will be work. When you change the language, the change will be effective immediately - ie you change the language and hence this will be used  imiediatly a nd further installation will be proceed using the selected language here without leaving the program.

In the version of the program from v 2.2.3  I was add a French language thank to the work station of  F6FLU - Daniel. Many thanks to him for that

Fields such as Exactly_English, Exaclty_polish, Exactly_French are used to select the language for users whose Windows  give other codes than standard eg FRENCH-Belgium, French-Canada, etc.

At the time of installation, you can now select the server from which to retrieve data, but it is possible to change this  server to another also when runing  BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe as described below.
Mandatory must be entered your callsign field and it must be correctly according to the rules prefix and suffiks
If you do not enter a correct yor callsign program "will not let" to next step , and you hear a signal from the speaker only. If everything is correctly after you click OK you  get

Step 1 in proces instalation

At this point program  check the versions of :

What version is present on my website
What version of the program will be installed 
What version is already installed prior to the installation in a directory Logger32 \ BUREAU

Before proceeding further installation I recommend checking on my web site if there are present  higher version  than at present to be installed . If so I recommend pressing button Stop installation

Follow what has been written on this screen. If you do not perform a backup of the entire program  Logger32 press Stop Instalation and follow the backup and then restart the installation. If you have already completed backup  press the Next Step. You will  obtain

Step 2 in proces instalation . Copy needed files
and deleted not corect installed previous files

 

Step 3 in proces instalation - information
what was do to this moment

At this point, install program copy the necessary file. Now you need to follow are the configuration steps in Logger32.

As Logger32\BUREAU above should be understood not the full path of the real directory  but as a relative directory from  the directory  Logger32 By press Next step we obtain

Step 4 in proces instalation . Information about run
Logger32 and do exactly what is write in this window

Step 5 in proces instalation . Information do exactly
what is write in this window

Step 6 in proces instalation . Information do exactly
what is write in this window

Step 7 Instalation was correct

If the installation was not do properly - ie the version installed into Logger32\BUREAU \ BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe differs from the version you want to install then the screen will appear to us in the form.

Step 7 - a instalation is incorect. After pres button
HELP_ABOUT_TROUBLE_WITH_INSTALL
will be direct do a chapter what will be decribes
problems and how solve problems

 

At this point, we see that  for example in the directory before installing in a diectory Logger32\BUREAU was present version V 2.2.2.0 and we tried to install the version v 2.2.2.4. After the installation in a directory Logger32\BUREAU is still  present  version V 2.2.2.0 - that is, in principle, nothing has been installed. When you press the HELP you will be immediately directed to the chapter discussing the problems with the installation

After this, press OK - Finish.

 

Explanation why the system requires , that you should choose a program directly Sleep_exec_BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe not BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe

It would be nice to set the relationship between the  window Logger32 and window external program communicates with Logger32 . There are window OPERATOR SP9AUV and an external window  - here called SP9AUV Lookup  QRZ, Corect QSL_via ) . This coopeperation will be  based on parent - child relationship (parent-Child). What's it matter? . Parent-child relationship means that clicking on the parent window should not be put out or hide the child windows. This relationship, if both programs are designed in the same project information is automatically respected. But if our programs come from other designers, then unfortunately no.   As an example of not cooperating programs give such Logger32 and MSWord. Clicking on the MSWord window causes to hide windows  Logger32 and vice versa. The programs from other designers and projects worked on parent-child relationship should use special mechanisms involving this and you have to catch the so-called handler (handle) Logger32 main program here. This is important in the case  we want to make that  the main  program start automatically  the cooperating program . However, to capture this handler -> Logger32 program should be run until the end, ie they should appear all of its windows. Therefore, first start up another program Sleep_Exec_Bureau_not_present_fi .exe which measures the time delay of about 2 sec and then starts cooperating Bureau_all_qrz_com.exe_fi.exe . If not properly acted upon configuration and we went directly  run  BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe you get this message

Statement about wrong run program

Explanations for other fields

If the above dialog box pointed box Check in  the left side of the  name of the program , then after leaving the Logger32 and restarting will get us first for about 2 sec a little black DOS window and then windows for BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe .  The window will show the data retrieved from QRZ.COM, and corrected accordingly,

In version 1.1.3 introduced the possibility for the user to change this time  delay. This is done in a file  delay_time.txt.

{Files contain delay_time for run BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe in msec}

3000

The value of this delay is given in msec. The introduction of this new time delay start BUREAU_ALL_QRZ_COM_FI.exe is to experiment change this time , when run automatically  with the launch of Logger32-a not working properly

The downloaded data to the window will show the data retrieved from QRZ.COM or from other servers and corrected accordingly. Rules QSL_Via field correction are shown here.

The main window looks

Window for program
Bureau_all_qrz.com_fi.exe

If the station for which data are collected has own web page, or have entered  e-mail the data are displayed as a link displayed in blue and when you move mouse on ,  it changes color to red and the cursor appears in the form "feet". Also of you  click  on it ,  automatically is  call client program that supports the link - this is the case with e-mail is called i.e Thunderbild e-mail program - or the default browser  eg Firefox

The window above communicates the green if you are logged on to QRZ.COM and red if you are not currently logged QRZ.COM

After pressing CONFIG you can decide what fields from  QRZ.COM will be transfered into the fields currently entering QSO . Changing the language will immediately change subtitles without leaving the program

The data that will be sent to the Logger

In this area is present  buttons , when we check it the data field will be passed to Logger32 to the fields current QSO fields. These include following configuration fields:

Name or Name and full Name.
Grupa Imie lub Imie i nazwisko z polami wzajemnie się wykluczającymi
Group Name or Name and full name with fields are mutually exclusives
Name
Full Name
Address
QTH station - from version 2.0.8 QTH phrase might be multiworld QTH - ie can contain any number of words, eg Piekary Slaskie
Grid_Locator
Primary administration code. Not all servers have this data. If  the case of server QRZ.COM in this place is inserted into the STATE for U.S. and Canadian stations. Although this concept can be applied to all countries (also Polish) there are not allowed here in  a  QRZ.COM insert data to other stations from outside the USA or Canadian . For the Polish station this field is associated there symbol province (voivodine)  region, eg the letters B, CG, etc.
Secondary administrative code. Not all servers have this  data. If the case of  server QRZ.COM in this place is inserted into the COUNTY for U.S. and Canadian stations. Although this concept can be applied to all countries (also Polish) is not allowed here on QRZ.COM insert data to other stations from outside the USA or Canadian. For the Polish station concept is associated there  symbol  county (powiat by polish) such letters GP, GW, KD etc.

Name Server Lookup from came information about hams-radio

This group contains configuration fields (mutually exclusive) that it should be noted that depending on how the server chooses retrieved data. Servers from which you can retrieve data in a  program are :

QRZ.COM
HAMCALL.NET unfortunately quite slow server
HAMQTH.COM
DXWATCH.COM

 

After approval of the config with the OK button from the new server are downloadable data  even for the same station. This allows you to instantly determine if another server has data for that station and whether they are the same.

Parameter to determine login into the server lookup

The only parameter to determine the log to the server is your  Callsign .When you first start the program appear the config window where  you must  put your Callsign . Different server  have a different  way  login

 

On the server QRZ.COM from the date of 29.11.2011 absolutely necessary to be logged. Without login not get any data about hams-radio. So you should have started   account on the server QRZ.COM. It is currently completely free. But within this service, ie, downloading the data in the HTTP protocol can be downloaded daily to 150 calligns .After you press the Login button , appears a window  where you can login to QRZ.COM. Starting with version v 1.1.0 introduced the ability to login  to QRZ.COM after this button is pressed

Login to server Lookup QRZ.COM

because it was found that login on to QRZ.COM in default browser like Firefox is not enough. When you press this button appear mini-bowser  built-in program where you can make a login . If there is not yet established an account at QRZ.COM yoy can also register here

Process  of being logged in is stored in cookies . After the cookie has expired we will have to login again. From this it saves each time a  new login a new cookie - so that if we used the program often enough it may never be the case, and we're not logged on.

Creating an account at QRZ.COM - Registration .

 

Having an account at QRZ.COM is completely free. Pay service is only for  downloading  data in the  XML format (an international format for data exchange). This service provides faster access to data and has not limited the number of daily downloads is the number which in the case of downloading through the web page at http protocol is 150 downloads per 24 hour period.

To register to open an account, ie enter the following page

http://www.qrz.com/register.html

 

Likely we get  a browser message that the viewer can not determine the authenticity of the certificate. We have yet to approve this certificate by  understand the threat and get the form as a  page

 

Creating an account at QEZ.CO - registration

 

Creating an account at QRZ.COM - submit

 

Further the process of setting up your account is difficult for me to show in a graphical way because I had an account at QRZ.COM created about 20 years ago. Probably you will be prompted for a password that you use to log on or determined by the server password will be sent to you by  the e-mail. Then going into your account, you can change this password.

 

You  can create account also in default browser like Firefox

The login process to the server HAMCALL.NET is similar, although the web page may look different. But here I will not unnecessarily enlarge the description and darkened, because when you log on you will figure out what fields to fill himself. On this server, register as a so-called ''Free Basic Membership"

The login process to the server HAMQTH.COM is similar, although the web page may look different. But here I will not unnecessarily enlarge the description and darkened description, because when you log on you will figure out what fields to fill himself. However, this server provides all the data without the need to login or register

The login process to the server DXWATCH.COM is similar, although the web page may look different. But here I will not unnecessarily enlarge the description and darkened description, because when you log on you will figure out what fields to fill himself. However, this server provides all the data without the need to login or register

 

The program window and the window Logger 32 cooperate with each other in this way that the program  window is always visible on the screen when you are working logger32 and can not be minimized or maximized. You can only push the cross box - Which causes the output from the program and exit the program.
If you do not select the Check box to you must run manually the program Sleep_exec_Bureau_all_qrz_com_fi.exe after you start Logger32 . You must  choose from the main menu Utilities  ---> Sleep_exec_Bureau_not_present_fi.exe

Now move the window position to the best  position and choise the  size , and next close the window Now exit from  Logger32. Restarting Logger32 will be set us a window into the corresponding position and size
