Not only do I have to uninstall, I have to delete ALL the files in the Advantage program folder and reinstall from a clean slate EVERY time. My roommate is a programmer and he said that the uninstall program only removes files the install program puts in. Apparently updating the program adds files, but the uninstall wont remove them. If you don't delete the whole folder, it still gives the same errors after a reinstall.
I had to figure this out on my own... hope it saves you some headache.
F'ing SCT update, now my software does not recognize any PCM code.
happen to a bunch of us two weeks ago. Go on their dorum. Find a thread called " Lost access to all me previous tunes DCX" and fallow their directives.
Stew, you gotta contact MikeT at SCT... That's why I haven't updated in forever. I don't want to go through BS. I plan on updating once datalogging comes out... So maybe never.
It's not a simple fix ted. He is one of the first prp owners. So he needs his dongle updated. Somehow SCT managed to screw up all the original dongle users.

Sorry, sounded like the same Issue I have every time I update, I have to delete my racer.dbb folder or I lose access to my racer codes.

I hope this doesn't mean what I think it might mean.
Simple fix, before updating, go in to advantage folder and delete racer.dbb folder, then update and it will replace it.
It is a known bug.
Ted.
I did try your fix while I am on hold here and no it did not work. It did replace the file b/c the original file was 1kb and the new one was 9kb. Thanks though.
Probably just an addition error. I updated mine a little while ago and ran in to the issue. Contacted MikeT@SCT and got everything back to the way it was before. I updated recently and it lost access to my pcm codes(again). I just reran the update from the actual SCT folder on my computer(not the link on the desktop, the actually updateadvantage.exe file) and it ran just fine.

I always update from the file in the folder... I have had to do that almost since I got it to avoid errors. The shortcut never works right.
