Again, read the tutorial, and to emphasize what T-Dan said:


From the tutorial...........:



Contents of Install Package:

• GE2KAP.exe
  The program to execute GE2KAP.rex. At first start, it will also run Check.rex to check if all the prerquistes are installed.
• Install_Plugin.exe
  The program to install the OpenCPN plugin (ge2kap_pi.dll) for GE2KAP. Do not run this program by itself. The first time you run GE2KAP.exe, if the plugin is not installed or its the wrong version, this program will be invoked to install the plugin.
  It can be run again by running Check.rex.
• GE2KAP.rex
  The GE2KAP program. This is what you run.
• GE2KAPFuncs.dll
  A dll with functions used by GE2KAP. It must be in the same directory as GE2KAP.rex.

Hakan, I have added your notes to the Plugin Manual... there were absolutely no specific directions on Installation process.

https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...igation:ge2kap

I am having a problem. Paul Higgins refers to reading the README. Where is that found?

Also where is the "Tutorial" Found?

Thanks.

Try this from the GE2KAP installation folder:

file:///C:/GE2KAP/GE2KAP.V18.0.0.2/Help/English/index.html

The README is a file in the GE2KAP program folder that, when opened launches the built-in HELP discussion with your computer's browser. It's quicker to access the HELP from the first pane of the GE2KAP program by pressing F1.

The 'Tutorial' has now been named 'Step by Step Procedure' and is accessed by clicking on the box with that label on the first pane of the GE2KAP program. Lots of procedures described and they can also be narrated by Windows.

And I've not updated my tutorial/briefing on GE2KAP since these Step-by-Step Procedures have been incorporated into the program. But since using the SAS Planet program with GE2KAP has many advantages, I've also written a guide for using the programs together, GE2KAP2SASP
