Problems moving Cumulus to a new computer

[aznetcowboy]

I have been trying to move my weather drive from my PC to my laptop. However I have run into one problem. Whenever I go to execute the Cumulus.exe I get a dialog box telling me "The program can't start because VantagePro.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I have double-checked the locations of the file and made sure it is in the same folders.

On my PC I had a partition W (named Weather) and copied it 100% to my laptop's drive W. I even reinstalled the WeatherLinkIP just to make sure that wasn't the issue. No such luck. If I run WeatherLink's software, it works fine.

I have a direct connect from my laptop to my router, just as it was from the PC. Any suggestions or ideas what the issue is here?

Presumably you tried reinstalling as it suggested, but that didn't make any difference? Are you running it by double clicking cumulus.exe itself, or by using a shortcut (as created by the installer)? If the former, it is possible that the working directory is not set correctly, so Windows isn't looking for the DLL in the Cumulus directory.

It appears you were correct. It is now running on my laptop. The only thing that has me baffled right now is in the CumulusToolbox. In Setup/General is the line for the "PHP webtag file". That is the only field I cannot get to work. Once I get it working 100%, then I can free up my PC for personal use. I don't have room for two PC's, but one PC and one laptop will do the job just fine.
