Dmitry,
I have just finished a 4 hour marathon updating RadioBOSS 4.8.3 to 4.9.0.11 and had lots of problems. I also tried this on another box a few days ago with success but not without significant frustration.
So the good bits first:
1. RadioBOSS 4.9.0.11 is good to use and has some new very nice features
The bad bits with my updates:
1. Not all config settings remained intact. This was annoying as I was not prepared for it. Had I have known this was going to happen I would have put off doing the update until I had a complete set of screenshots done for every config page.
2. The first installation went better than the second but having to add config settings manually was annoying.
3. The second installation resulted in RadioBOSS operating eratically with pulsing sound so it took quite a while to work around that. I tried reverting back to the old version but that was not successful so I opted to do a few things like:
a) Run Windows Update
b) Run Combofix
c) Run Windows Update again
d) Run Combofix again
e) Run a fresh RadioBOSS installation and manually copy across config and data files
While running the first Windows update a message came up saying that Malware had been detected and fixed - quite an unusual message and one I hadn't ever seen before - hence I ran Combofix to help out too.
Anyway, RadioBOSS 4.9.0.11 is now installed and running but I am not game to ever attempt an update again without:
1. Screenshots of config and settings pages
2. A better understanding of where the config and settings files are stored so that I can back them up and apply them if anything ever goes wrong. This is the "safety net" I referred to above.
And a final observation after everything was completed and our radio station went back on air with RadioBOSS. I noticed that songs played from the playlist were not deleted once they were played. Have I done something wrong ? Far too much excitement for one day but a good outcome.
Thanks for your efforts in releasing RadioBOSS 4.9.0.11
