Hi Alasdair

I have just downloaded the latest version of webie, 3.3.6. I installed it over 3.3.2 and run the web program but I got a message unexpected error, did I download the correct version? Obviously I uninstalled 3.3.6 and reinstalled 3.3.2. This works ok.

Regards

Adrien

Hi Douglas,

I've gradually moved the WebbIE configuration files - like RSS news feeds - from the Registry to the folder you mention. The latest Accessible RSS completes this process, transferring the news feeds to the folder and then deleting them out of the registry (so it knows not
to do this again)

So you feeds are still there, but only readable by Accessible RSS 1.10.0 or later. I hadn't envisaged anyone reverting to the previous
version.

Until I sort out 3.3.6, here's a possible solution. I've put the
latest RSS executable here:
http://download.webbie.org.uk/old/AccessibleRSS.exe

If you replace your current AccessibleRSS.exe file (in C:\Program Files\WebbIE) with this one you should see your feeds again.

Best wishes,
Alasdair

Welcome to the list, Alasdair and thanks for taking the trouble to clarify the
BBC Listen Again issue.

Just one additional point arising from your message. Am I right in assuming that when a version of Webbie is uninstalled, the contents of the folders such as, c:\documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Webbie\ should be preserved. The reason I ask is that after my problems with the "Unexpected Error" message when trying to Runn Webbie itself (from 3.3.6) I uninstalled and reverted to 3.3.2. Webbie now launches normally, but with Accessible RSS I am told that No feeds are available (or words to that effect). Yet there is still an Accessible RSS/1
folder within the sub folder I mentioned above.

Hope that this is just a peculiarity of my system, but would be interested to
know what might be happening.

Douglas
