I am trying to install Satscape on a Windows 7 computer with all updates. I have a fresh download of the program and have it unziped. When I double click the icon, nothing happens. I have Java installed.

Hi.  I get exactly the same.  Running Win 7 (64bit) I have noticed an error text message in a folder under C:\Users\Username\Satscape which has a list as long as your arm in errors which mainly suggest No suitable driver found for.

I deleted that, installed the 32 bit version and exactly the same.

Glad to see I'm not alone. I've tried to install it on two different machines, same op system, and get the same results. I'm not sure I got as far as you. I click the icon and get nothing.

Hi Phil. Noted a few people with same issue. All i did was rename one of the folders. After extracting the zip file.  Rename the Satscape_Lib to lib then mine works 100% well so far.

Hope it helps
Tony

Tony, Sorry about the partial message. The file was already 
Labeled .lib when unzipped. Do you know if an older version is available for download any where?

OK, I have it working with one small problem. I discovered that java was interacting with the program. I uninstalled java and then reinstalled it. It ran the program. It will not display full screen. I have the latest drivers. This I can live with.
 
Thanks,
 
Phil
