A number of changes will be occurring over the next few months. Hopefully our customers will not notice!

The zipzap.co.uk website is being moved from BT to Freeola. The EU site is already hosted with Freeola, along with the org.uk, parceltrak.com, parceltrak.co.uk and various others. Disruption in emails may occur to the .co.uk addresses but this is temporary.

The registered office will be moving around June to a new address. In anticipation and to avoid disruption we already have a phone number of 01158-882830 which will follow us around and be accessible at all times. The usual contact number for out of hours will remain the same.

The company will concentrate more on its core programs and enhance these, these include Loadmaster, Sameday, Claimtrak and Logman.

Will keep you informed what is going on. Any queries just ring or email.

"This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program."

If you are on a 64 bit operating system then make sure it is trying to install in C:\Program_Files(X86) and not C:\Program_Files.

The recommended directory is C:\TPNINVG

The program itself is 32 bit.

If you have any 'old' setup routine from ourselves then it will be signed with a Comodo SHA1 code signing certificate.

SHA1 is being retired due to the possibility of being hackable in the near future. No new SHA1 certificates are being issued. Owing to changes by Microsoft and others these will no longer install after 01/01/2017 and you may get warnings during the installation until that time.

We will be recompiling our existing program setups with a Comodo SHA2 code signing certificate shortly. These will be available to all registered users.

Copy the files manta_install and mantainstall.zip into your own Linux download directory under 'Home'.

Make manta_install executable using sudo chmod +x manta_install

Then -

sudo ./manta_install

Follow the on screen prompts. You MUST scroll and accept the readme or the INSTALL button won't appear.

The install loads the program as a service. Rebooting will start it up.

You must redirect port 4900 from the router to the HFSQL server to allow external use.

The HFSQL is very easy to install and maintain.

Note that the HFSQL is supplied under licence. It MUST be accompanied by programs developed in Windev and accessed at least by 50% of machines using Windev. It should not be seen as an easy and cheap alternative to MSSQL or MySQL and just accessed by ODBC. It has to be supplied as part of a complete package.

Note: These instructions relate to the 32 bit version, but the 64 bit is very similar. You should load the version that is the same as your operating system. You can run the 32 bit version on a 64 bit operating system.

You get the message - "Unable to read any fields from the data you're trying to import"

This message appears if the file extension is in upper case, for example TEST.CSV or test.CSV. It needs to be TEST.csv or test.csv. It may also appear if there is a symbol in the folder name where the file is stored.

Solution

Rename the file to change the file extension to lower case. If the issue still occurs, check the folder name does not contain any symbols when you browse to the file in the Data Import wizard. If the folder does contain symbols, rename the required folder and import the file again.

Previously the case of the extension did not matter.

This usually indicates an underlying problem that the program is able to deal with - without crashing.

Go into Utilities/Data File Utilities and then Healthcheck. Run this on all the files.

If any are reported as having an issue then go into Utilities/Data File Utilities and Filefix. Tick the file concerned and click on the FIX button.

Other users can be logged in while this runs.
