Error message when opening squawkbox

Hi,

 

First of all thanks to Lennart Vedin for helping me with my last problem but now I have a new problem. After I open SBHost then I open Squawkbox I go through the motions of getting connected and after I hit Join I get the following error box:

 

at the top of the box it has icao.dat and within the box it says Critical Error: Could Not Open File. I click OK and get the splash screen for Squawkbox and it looks like it is working, except I don't have any idea what this error message is for. I did install the CSL ICAO file into my Squawkbox folder.

 

If anybody has any idea on how to fix this I appreciate it.

 

James

Use "Search" in this forum. Similar problem exist. E.g. keyword "icao.dat" give some hit at Pilot Software Help.

I fixed it, my ICAO.DAT file was in a different place than where it should be, I moved it to my squawkbox folder and I no longer get the message. Thanks again Lennart for the help and pointing me in the right direction. I am fully operational again.
