GRE PSR 800 updates

[AdminLaw]

Does anyone know if the weekly updates to the library are cumulative? In other words, if I miss one or two weeks' updates, will the third update contain everything that was updated in the prior two weeks as well, or will I have to find those changes and manually update my library through the software.

If this issue is addressed in any of the prior threads, the software help file, or any of the manuals, I've somehow managed to overlook it.

Cumulative

Yes. As long as you get the latest update you are set.
The library comes as one big batch. When you update it makes no difference if you previously updated or not.

Logically, it would seem that the only way the system could work satisfactorily, is if the UPDATE was complete and correct, and for the UPDATE to overwrite (replace) the old DB.

That makes sense, and explain the amount of time it takes to download each update.

I went to the gre america home page 4/20/14 and when I clicked the support tab I got:

Fatal error: Incompatible file format: The encoded file has format major ID 2, whereas the Loader expects 5 in /home/grea/public_html/support/swift.php on line 0

Is there anyone still around to fix this?

 

[AdminLaw]

From the home page, click on the PSR 800 link first, then click the support link from that page. That link just worked for me.

Thanks I gave that a try but still get the same message. I even get the message when I click "news" or try the 800 manual. I did try on both my macs and the old xp machine using firefox, chrome and safari. So I must have some 0's & 1's angry at me

 

[AdminLaw]

It's not just you, I was able to follow that path this morning, but now I get the same error message you do.

 

[mikeym]

Well someone has fixed the support page and I thank them because I thought I had broke my 800 for good

I feel like we'll always be able to use our 800's & Pro-18's without the weekly updates. We can always manually program them with the software.
