GPL, VROC, some progress, but still not working...

Hi all 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://vroc.net/html/common/winvroc-help.htm 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 Arto

One thing you did not mention, and maybe you have tried, I am not sure, but I will mention it anyways. 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! Arto

Glad it worked for ya :) 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.
