Why your EL System doesn't work any more???

[lottoboy]

Tomorrow is Stan's Birthday.

I would like to express thanks for his great work with Expert Lotto.

Happy Birthday to you Stan.



In addition, I'm so sorry for my misunderstanding to EL before.

Best Regards,
lottoboy

Hi, Sysp34:

Before using your renaming idea from your link, I want to tell you the detail about my downloading of the lastest beta

version (Build 997):

1) Go to EL--Download--BETA Version;
2) Right-click the download link and choose Save As;
3) When file browsing window opens, type C:expertlotto.jar into file name field. Then choose Save or Ok.
4) When the download is finished open file manager and go to C: folder;
5) Copy the downloaded file into the lib folder in my Expert Lotto installation, e.g. C:Program FilesExpertLottolib;
6) Start Expert Lotto, choose menu Help - About and found that the build number still is old one;
7) I have to repeat above operations and retype C:expertlotto.rar instead C:expertlotto.jar. But it still not working for me.

Before I downloading the WinRAR into my PC in 04/07/08, I had successfully downloaded the Buid 986 in 03/31/08.
The current status about my EL package in C folder is as below:

In my EL Package the file of license.jar has been changed to WinRAR compressing file;
There are three WinRAR compressing files: help(3524 kb), jh(489kb) and expertlotto(3002kb) and another lib package In the lib package of my EL.

In addition, I can not find any useful information about my downloading from WinRAR Help.

Could you give me some advices based to my current status above? Thanks.

you should find different file size between Build 997 and Buid 986 for a beta it should be increasing files size until stan find agile method to compress or to shorted the code.

here is my step to update latest version

1. go to jackpot forum to download latest beta for Pro Edition
or go to EL Download BETA Version for Hobby Edition

2. you will ask to save the expert lotto.jar just save in e.g. c:download
(note: you will ask to overwrite the files if you have the same file name in c:download or if you downloaded using download manager, the new files will be store as expert lotto.jar(1) and so on (some download manager prevent overwritting files)

3. go to c:program filesexpert lottolib and rename expert lotto.jar into expert lotto1.jar or something just in case something goes wrong with new version

4. copy expert lotto.jar from c:download into c:program filesexpert lottolib

5. fire up EL and see the new version

reinstallation method will be my last option when i can't lauch EL

if you have to re-install you may clean your registry using freeware registry cleaner (cccleaner)

download latest plugins


good luck

Hi, Padawan and Sysp:

Finally, I have successfully finished the all downloading job after deleting
all EL folders and shortcuts from my C folder, then runing CCleaner. Now my build # is 997! Thank you, Padawan and Sysp!!!

However, I still have two problems as below:

1) If or not I must do those steps: Uninstall EL, delete all EL folders and shortcuts, run CCleaner, install EL when I want to download the lastest version of EL BETA in the future?

2) According to the instructions from "How to Install Plugins" in the Menu of Support:"Note: If you are running Expert Lotto Hobby or Pro Edition you can take advantage of the automatic plugin download and install feature. Select menu 'Lottery - Preferences - Plugins - Download More'. Please note that BETA version plugins must be downloaded and installed manually."
but I just took three plugins downloading automatically: Money, Plastic and
Winning Numbers Online Update instead all current plugins such as WinSum, Value Predictor, ...and Multiple WNH Segments Filter. Why?
How can I download

Sorry, I SENT AN INCOMPLETE POST JUST NOW.

Right-click the download link and choose Save as into C:Program FilesExpertLottoplugin.
Then, install those plugins by EL's instrucitions.

Thanks.

[/quote] You do not have to uninstall to upgrade beta version of EL. The reason you had to uninstall this time was because you had incorroectly upgraded your last version.

Only offical version plugins can be downloaded with the automatic plugin download, beta plugins have to be downloaded manually and beta plugins are not all found in the EL main pages, some are found in the plugin development forum.

Is it corrsect such my operations as below?
Right-click the download link and choose Save as into C:Program FilesExpertLottoplugin.
Then, install those plugins by EL's instrucitions.

No, it would be best to download the plugins to a folder such as C:downloads and then move them from there to the plugin folder of EL. With EL beta builds download and save as .jar into the C:downloads folder, move the expertlotto.jar file to lib folder.

Hi, Padawan:

Thanks for your sincere advices! I will download the all plugins by your and Sysp's instructions such into C:downloads first then move to my EL.

But I'm not sure what will be happen for my using EL in the future when I have directly downloded the Build 997 into C:Program FilesExpertLotto instead C:downloads folder first? Thanks.

Hi, Padawan:

in the future? How can do that next? Cancel it then download it by correct way again? or others? Please let me know asap. Thanks.

Hi, Padawan:

I have downloaded the all beta plugins manually by your advices. Thanks.

In addition, I visited the "Plugin Development Forum" just now. In deed, there are some plugins in the forum. Could you give me a list of the development plugins which should be useful to 5/39 based to your experiense?

Also, their file names such as TicktIndexSum. jar are different from the offical and beta plugins such as Segments filter-1.0.5. plugin

So how can I download and install those development plugins?
Is it same thing with beta plugins as you said? or others?
If I need to change their file names from .jar to .plugin after downloading into C:downloads? Thanks.
