Hi.
I`ve installed this version of Cumulus and everytime I try to start the program it`s crash. Please, ask me if you need another procedure.
Regards

You've changed your Windows format settings. Previously you had a comma for a decimal separator, and now you have a period (full stop). So Windows can't convert your old decimal values like 163,0 into a number, and Cumulus, not handling this, crashes. You need to change your Windows settings back to what they were; I think a comma is correct for your country anyway. Make sure your list separators are also correct; with a decimal comma you probably use a semicolon ";" for a list separator.

Hi Steve.
That´s right. I´ve changed the windows format settings. The problem I´ve have is that cumulus takes comma (,) as a list separator so the decimals numbers, in cumulus are the next field in the dayfile.txt, so I have 20 fields more. How can I resolve this problem?
Regards

Cumulus uses the current Windows settings for decimals and list separator. If you have existing data with decimal commas and semicolon separators, Cumulus and Windows can't make sense of that if the current Windows settings aren't the same. If you want to use your existing data, you will need to make your Windows settings match your data. Or edit all of the files and change the data to match your current settings, if you want to keep your current settings.
