CumulusMX is now working on my Windows 8 using Davis VP2 and Envoy

and basically an easy install with the fix of the Com Port 1.
Main dashboard - all ok, looks great
Now - no data, may need to do some internet upload changes?
Gauges - all ok, beautiful and can see updates sometimes in a couple seconds
Charts - all ok, and very nice
Today/Yesterday - no data, same as "Now"?
Records - no data, same as "Now"?
Extra sensors - (not used with station at present)
Data logs - all ok, very nice
Dayfile - all ok, and also very nice
Settings - all carried forward, and the Extra web files listing is great that shows all of my 30 entries
I presume some of the other Cumulus 1 features like Weather log (which I use for snow), Current (which I also use for snow) and Snow Index are to follow?
Great work Steve and looking forward to comments from Apple users.

Yes, a hopefully better replacement for the weather diary and better snow reporting will follow.
Regarding the lack of 'now' data etc, I've managed to include some old version of the interface pages in the zip file

I'll upload another version shortly

I have installed the v3001 and Now, Today/Yesterday, Records are working with current data. I was ready to post that they were still not displaying and just before thought to do a page refresh and then then data appeared. So it is possible it was working with the initial version but had not tried a page refresh.
The website pages are also showing but using the included indexT.htm instead of my modified. Will copy the modified in to the new \web\ folder soon. Wish I had VVP running so I didn't have to shut down and restart both Cumulus 1 and MX.

Update:
Website gets uploaded with using my original modified indexT.htm so all of that seems good.
Looks like I have to edit the time format on my indexT.htm as it is not displaying as before, and expect that is to do with the webtag difference that you mentioned up front.
The Log interval is set at 10 minutes (same as my VP2 data logger) and if starting CumulusMX it will catch up at that 10 minute interval but when running live it updates at 5 minutes.
I also see the *** token error *** in the DOS screen but does not seem to have any effect on the operation of CumulusMX though.

Yes, this looks like a bug.

There may be a stack trace in the MXdiags file, could you upload it please?

Steve I have uploaded my MXdiag and on looking at the token problem might be associated with cumuluswebtags.txt.

Zip attached
By the way I am also processing and uploading cumuluswebtags.txt to cumuluswebtags.php in normal 5 min update.

It's the <#txbattery> web tag when used with a 'channel' parameter, as this tag currently has no content. A side effect of this is very large MXdiags files, as the code dumps the content of the file being processed when it encounters an error. I'll fix it for now to stop trying to parse the content.
