I tried installing Live along side the regular V3.0.6 and it wouldn't go. The installer said another version was present and had to be uninstalled first. I thought their website said it would run along side the regular version. Anyone else have both installed?

Hi All,

If you have an error message when running DSS Live and if you have just downloaded the executable files you must reinstall DSS.

That's because some Microsoft libraries have changed because I have upgraded the development environment from VS 2005 to VS 2005 SP1.

About the DSLR announce, well, I asked for permission to announce there and it was not possible.

Furthermore DSS and DSS Live are also working with FITS files created by CCD Cameras and I would have to announce there too.

Clear skies,
Luc

This is strange. New versions of other programs are often announced on those forums. PHD Guide for example. It's just that this forum have much smaller attendence. And I accidentally noticed this topic.

I see now that the version has been updated to 3.1.10 and contains both.

Guess you should check here more often, Dennis!

This is the correct forum. If you want, create a post in that forum and link to this thread. That should help spread the word a bit.
