Now when I have taken part to some N4 on-line races, I am
still more eager to make WinVROC work...

Some time ago I asked advice, and now I can get even the
race list. But I get the well known(?) problem, which is
also described it the VROC page:
   http://www.racesimcentral.net/

   All Races are Red
   Host and Join Buttons are Grayed Out
   WinVROC window will show an invalid GPL version (GPL.0.0.0.x).

And I made all, what was adviced on the same page:

 1. Check WinVROC's Options sheet and make sure that the path to GPL is
    actually pointing to your GPL installation.
 2. Uninstall WinVROC. Using Regedit, remove the WinVROC key from the
    registry. Reinstall WinVROC.
 3. Use JavaVROC to host or join races.

No change in the working of WinVROC! JavaVROC did not show the
race list at all!

I sent also my problem to their support: the message started from
WinVROC help is pre-filled:

  "For best results, do not change the subject line.  If this is related
   to a hosting and/or joining problem, please attach GPLParams.txt,
   located in your WinVROC folder."

This is strange! I do not have any GPLParams.txt file?! Should I?
Perhaps the support will answer, but it might be faster, if someone
here knows the solution.

Thanks

When you are selecting the path for gpl, make sure you double click the
gpl.exe. I remember many having the same problem as you, and it seemed to
work.

Maybe not your case, but worth a try. Hope it works for ya.

Thank you!! It helped!  It was enough to double click the
directory path (C:\SIERRA\gpl) in the Options window of WinVROC.

I would buy you a beer, if we had virtual pubs in the Internet!

Thanks again!

As for the beer... now that you have it working, I doubt you'll have enough
time for a beer... even at a virtual pub. <G>

Have fun.
