[WT-support] Setup - All PCs configured the same?

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

If all you really want to copy is messages and screen layout, copy the .WT4
file then open it.  If all you want to copy is the messages, use the new
"Load" button at the bottom of the Messages window to load messages from an
another log file or a text file (.smsg) created by the new "Save as" button
button.

Or, once you set up Win-Test set up as required on one PC, and have WT
installed and running on the others, with all properly configured to "Run
as an Administrator," you may copy these four files to the corresponding
folder on the target PC to make it behave identically:

>From the /cfg directory:  (File | Explore | /cfg directory)

wt.ini  (*Note:  *you will have to re-enter your registration key for each
target PC, so save it to a text file before copying; it can be viewed via
Help | Register Software on the target PC.  Copy that registration key to
the Window Clipboard and paste it into a separate file before you replace
any files.)

so2r_advanced.ini


>From the /Log folder:  (File | Explore | Log directory):

Filename.wt4

Filename.xdl (if any)


You must then start Win-Test standalone on each PC (without any other
copies running on the LAN), and change the Station name at the bottom of
the Contest Configuration screen to make it unique to each PC (STN2, STN3)
etc. And use Help | Register Software to past the registration key unique
to that PC.

Note, however, that unless all PCs use exactly the same radios and COM
ports for all hardware including, SO2R boxes, WinKey, etc., and have
exactly the same screen resolution, you will still have other manual
adjustments to do after copying the config files.
