Hi Mike,

I must be the only person running into this, as I don't see any other posts.
I had been running 1.1.6, updates worked fine... yadda yadda, Then version 1.1.7 came out and I've been unable to get it to update.

It downloads, says it's updating, then restarts, but it is still 1.1.6. So I uninstalled and reinstalled 1.1.2, did the install update thing, and it does the same thing, but won't upgrade past 1.1.2.

When you use a "text overlay" within BI, it reads the contents of a text file created by BI tools.
The overlay doesnt "wrap" text, so it displays truncated, see example below "Wind Desc"

Hmm, the macro on my BI seems to change size according to the description.

Change the size of the area displayed? Or change the font size?
If it's the latter I don't want to reduce the font size as it will not be legible.

It looks like the font but I'm not positive, the description hasn't changed much since I started monitoring it.
 
Mike,
There was a message on my server this morning that the BIT update required admin privileges. I am the admin, with full control. The update then quit. Now when I try to run BIT, it's a very old version that launches. It properly notifies me that 1.1.7 is current and asks me if I want to download. I do, launch BIT, and the exact same thing starts again. This will continue without a variation in the behavior.
 
I am trying to find the Blue Iris tools download but nothing, please tell me where I can get it?

Thank you in adavnce

Peter

That's weird. Try updating or reinstalling (but keep important BIT files).
 
Mike, I've tried updating. That's where this behavior comes from. Are you saying I should uninstall & reinstall and then upgrade?
