Installing an Updated DXCC Database

  1. if you have SpotCollector, DXKeeper, and/or WinWarbler running, terminate them

  2. if you have DXView installed,

    1. start DXView if its not already running

    2. open DXView's Configuration window, and select its Databases tab

    3. click the New? button

    4. click the DXCC Database's Upgrade button (this also updates the DXCC list used by the current version of WinWarbler)

  3. if you don't have DXView installed, considering directing the DXLab Launcher to install it, use DXView to perform the upgrade as described in step 2 above, and then terminate DXView until the next time you wish to update a database; otherwise,

    1. download and run the zip archive from http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxview/DXCC.exe

    2. unzip the contents of this zip archive into DXKeeper's Databases folder (if DXKeeper is installed) and into SpotCollector's Databases folder (if SpotCollector is installed)

    3. modify the Unzip to Folder box to the appropriate pathname for DXKeeper and/or SpotCollector before clicking the Unzip button

    4. if you use WinWarbler,

      • download and run the zip archive from http://www.dxlabsuite.com/winwarbler/WinWarblerDXCClist.exe

      • unzip the contents of this zip archive into WinWarbler's Databases folder

      • note that the Unzip to Folder box is set to c:\dxlab\dxview\databases - change this to the pathname of WinWarbler's databases folder before clicking the Unzip button

  4. If the updated DXCC Database adds, removes, or renames a DXCC entity, then

    1. Run DXKeeper

      1. open the Main window's Check Progress tab, and click the Recomp button

      2. if you have more than one Log file, then open each additional Log file and click the Recomp button

    2. Run SpotCollector

      1. open the Config window's Spot Database tab and click the Recomp button in the Log file referenced for award progress panel
