NATS prepare to launch free pre-flight planning tool

What about using a different browser? I don't actually know a single person who uses IE!

[dc9-32]

It works fine on IE8 on one PC (32bit) but the other PC (64bit) it won't install. Trouble is, I want it on the 64bit PC.......

No problem here on W7x64.

Ok, I've installed the plug-in ....What do you do next?

[Tim Dawson]

Just go to the SkyDemon Light website, if you've installed the plugin, and you'll see SkyDemon load. If you haven't installed the plugin, it will prompt you to load it.

SkyDemon Light

dc9: Are you trying to run it in a 64bit browser? I don't think there are many browser plugins that support 64bit browsers (Silverlight and Flash included). Run the non-64-bit version of your browser instead.

Off topic, but you can get a 64-bit version of Flash from here:
Download Flash Player "Square" Beta Preview Release - Adobe Labs

According to NATS, it will work on windows 7, 64bit - but it won't

[Tim Dawson]

There are many people using SkyDemon Light on Windows 7 64bit. You haven't yet said whether you have tried your IE (non-64bit) or another browser.

According to NATS, it will work on windows 7, 64bit - but it won't

Are you using a corporate (e.g. companies) computer? If so, you may be denied the ability to install plugins.

If not...

1. Uninstall the Silverlight SDK/Plugin via Add/Remove Programmes.

2. Clear out your temporary internet files.

3. Visit the site and start again.

It could be because the plugin didn't install corectly first time.

Private PC at home. I have two PC's. One with 32bit, it works, one with 64bit, it won't work. Both windows 7, IE9.

I did as you suggested and I still get this..

Microsoft Silverlight cannot be used in browsers running in 64 bit mode.
You are running on a browser that may not be fully compatible with Microsoft Silverlight. You can still try to install by clicking below or you can refer to the System Requirements for more information.

dc9,

It works perfectly on my Windows 7 64-bit laptop. You need to make sure that you are using the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer.

In Windows 7 click Start > All Programs, you should then see two Internet Explorer shortcuts, one for the 32-bit version which is just 'Internet Explorer' and the other for the x64 version which is 'Internet Explorer (64-bit)'.

Make sure you use the 'Internet Explorer' shortcut. On a clean install of Windows 7 x64 the 32-bit version of IE is still set as the default browser.

To be sure you are using the 32-bit version, open Internet Explorer using the method above. Hold down the Alt key, then click Help > About. Make sure it DOES NOT say '64-bit Edition' next to the version number.

Good luck.

EDIT: dc9, sorry, I see from an earlier post that you have already tried this. Make sure its not the 64-bit Edition that is being launched by checking the about box.

I made no changes to what was installed yesterday, but today, it installed fine and works a treat. Thanks everyone.

[NATS Infringements]

I am delighted to say that NATS have concluded it's Beta testing and evaluation of SkyDemon Light. Thank you so much to all the PPRuNe members who contributed to the process and I hope that you will note that some of your suggestions and comments have featured as changes to the functionality in the delivered product. I have started a new thread to introduce the operational version and myself together with Tim and Rob from SkyDemon will continue to monitor your feedback there.
