I go to http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/ ans download LTspiceIV.exe, then install it. Impossible to update; get error message that 'Could not read web file: "http://LTspice.linear-tech.com/fieldsync/release.log.gz". That file, if downloaded and applied, crashes with the error "Fatal Error: Trouble converting to curly brace notation: Mismatched single quotes in" [[binary after ASCII part]]. So, now what??

If it's a real problem, Mike Engelhardt at Linear Technology will fix it, or see that it gets fixed. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

To apply update start LTSpice with right-click -> Run as administrator, then Tools -> Sync Release. It works on win7. Grant.

Nope; get menu Open / scan with Avast! / Send to / Cut / Copy / create shortcut / delete / rename / Properties . Not using Win 7; using Win2K. Last time i had this problem i found the URL was incorrect; it was ../fieldsync2/.. where at that time the ../fieldsync/.. URL was 404. They must have fixed that problem because the URL does have the .GZ file (and the ../fieldsync2/.. is 404).

That was Win98SE, i will have you know! ** Win2K gives the user the most control of processes, ability to search for files (AND FIND THEM..which Win7 does not find but one in 10-15), etc. One does not have to buy all new programs - a number of which are so different as to be like Greek written in Chinese.

Win7 release has removed many useful features that Win2K (or even WinXP which was more stunted than Win2K) had. You CANNOT search for files with a given text. You WILL NOT find all files with a given search parameter; you may be lucky to find one or two and the chances of finding the file that you damn well know exists, is virtually ZERO. You have to toss all older programs and _buy_ new versions that are so crappy and/or different that you would be better off learning the language of the sand lizards of Alpha Centauri. You have absolutely ZERO control as to which processes will run in the background and AFAIK cannot even kill a process if something goes tits up. Undesirable processes (ie should be disabled): Messenger, Alerter, Clipbook, Distributed Link Tracking Client, Distributed Transaction Coordinator, Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing, Routing and Remote Access, Smart Card, Smart Card Helper, Telnet, and if do not have UPS or UPS has no computer link), disable Uninterruptible Power Supply. Perhaps disable Wireless Configuration,if hardwired Ethernet.

XP is almost as old but still enjoys some vendor support since there are many companies still using it. Vista is a dog but 7 is OK IMO. Pretty sure you can in fact search by file content in 7, though not something I use. For sure there are "desktop search" programs which do this, as well as search emails. -- John Devereux

You CAN search for individual file names, dork. AND it WILL find all instances. You DO have control over processes, it is called Task Manager, and never went anywhere. You do NOT have to "toss all older programs and buy new versions" Fucking retards like you are what need to be "tossed". And a Centaurian Sand Lizard is 500 times more intelligent than you are as well.
