[chirp_users] Downloading and installing
Hi, thanks for this help page. I have followed the instructions to download to a bootable cd/dvd, but when completed it would not load. I also could not install manually in that the files would not open with any thing I tried.
Next I downloaded chirp for windows (my version is 7) and can not find an installation file in the download.
Thanks for any help.

Do you understand the process of burning an ISO to disk or USB? I don't think there is anything to "install" on the live CD...

I don't run Win7 or much M$ stuff at all so I am no help here but seems like I remember 7 dumps files in some oddball location. Something I discovered helping a local ham with logging issues.
Thanks, I used the disk copy program that was downloaded with the program. This installed the data onto my dvd (I did a cd first) but then did not run the program. I turned off the computer as directed first and then restarted it with the disk in the drive (I have the auto start option turned on). Nothing happened, so I manually looked at the files on the disk and could find no way to run the program.

If you downloaded the .exe version of CHIRP LiveCD, then it will burn the image to create a bootable CD. If you downloaded the .iso verson of CHIRP LiveCD, then you have to use some other software like ImgBurn ( http://www.imgburn.com/) to "burn" the image to a CD or UNetbootin ( http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/) to "burn" the image to a USB flash memory.
Once you have a bootable CD or flash memory, you have to go into your computer's BIOS to enable booting from a CD or USB flash drive. This varies from computer to computer but it mostly entails arranging the boot order so that the CD drive or USB flash drive is listed before the hard drive.

If you want to download for Win 7, download the EXE installer. You won't have to hunt for anything.

Thanks, that is what is recommended and the one I downloaded. I do not see anyway to start or run the program. There are several folders, but not any files that open the program
