    Default TheSky6 Issues

    Hi,

    TheSky Plan Capture and TheSky Quick Capture will not work on my machine, and never have. I get an error message to the effect that TheSky6 is not installed, which it is.

    I wouldn't really care, except I know of no reliable way otherwise to get the exact coordinates of the center of the FOVI, when I framing an object/guide star.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Mark

    I apologize, I have been avoiding this one because it's going to require a call in. I am open most of the rest of this week. Give me some times. Of course it does not require a running observatory, so can be done during the day and/or bad weather.

    Bob any time today, or tomorrow before 4pm, would be fine (with notice, of course). I don't want to put my phone number here; do you still have it?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, Bob fixed it. You have to start TheSky v6 as administrator; then it gets recognized. You only have to do it once that way; it recognizes it by itself after that.

    Running the Sky 6 as administrator also fixed the problem for me!

    TheSky 6 is old; it doesn't know about the newer security model in Windows 7/8. Running it once as Administrator allows it to register its scripting interfaces with Windows, and then Planner will recognize and use it.
