Thanks Ryan. What should we be looking for?

I hope we will be looking for:

1. Date / Time Stamp
2. Audio recording in videos
3. Web server capability

Just to name a few....

What is path for window7?

Thank you

[ryan]

Hi Bigmack48,

The path for windows 7 would be "C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Vitamin D Video\updater.txt". I've added this to the original post, sorry for missing it before!

Hi, It may be a problem in my computer but I had to remove the 'www.' from the address in the updater text file to make it work.

I cannot get the link to work to download the Beta version file (i used the link in the downloaded text file and also used the suggestion of taking out the "www." shown in a previous post, but no luck).

On Chrome, it asks for me to log into your server, on windows explorer, it says the location doesn't exist, on Firefox, the screen shows "You don't have permission to access /update/publicbeta/ on this server."

Any suggestions about what I am doing incorrectly? I'd like to try the Beta.


thanks.....

I'm pretty sure you're doing it wrong. I reread the instructions and they say to put the updater.txt file into a particular folder. It sounds like you're trying to open it in a browser.

Hi tester,

DrBunsen is correct. Do not attempt to visit any links mentioned in the updater.txt file, but instead put the file itself it in the location mentioned in my original post that applies to your OS.
