Can you help trouble shoot Sharper Image Internet Weather Station EC-WS115?

Thanks Stefan! I tried your fix and it works!

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for taking the time to look into this ;)

But what procedure do you recommend for applying your executable? Is this meant to substitute for the installation package (such as the downloadable NIS01_INSTALL_2380.exe)? If so, should the original software be uninstalled first? Or is yours to be run as a sort of patch on top of the original product? I did the latter, and see no change in the problem (at 11:28pm on June 7 [NY time], the Forecast screen on my PC shows 10:32pm Nov 8). By the way, that is 213 days going forward in 2012, or 155 days going backward to Nov 2011, inclusive of both dates.

Judging by the string of replies in this thread, there are many owners of the 5-Day Forecast device who would benefit from a step-by-step guide for applying your temporary fix. I, for one, would be quite grateful.

Sorry for not being more instructive there.... Yes you should substitute the original application.

I've now uploaded the executable, to make it easier to copy without having to subtract it  first.

It can be found at:

http://www.fraservalleysoftware.com/download/5-day forecast.exe

1. Stop the "5-day forecast" application by right-clicking on the Sunny-icon in your system tray and select "EXIT".
2. Locate the original application, it's (depending on where you installed it) in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\5-Day Forecast\5-Day Forecast

or

C:\Program Files\5-Day Forecast\5-Day Forecast

or anything like that.... if you cannot find it, another way is to right-click on the shortcut to the application, as the folder will be showing in the "Start in" field.

3. If you want to keep your original file (and I guess you should), rename the file "5-day forecast.exe" to something like "5-day forecast original.exe"
4. Download the executable  and copy the file "5-day forecast.exe" to the location where the original file was. You might be asked to give Administrator permission.
5. After starting the application, go to Setting and it should show the version number as "V1.02b (FVS)".

Hope this helps!

Thanks Stefan, works like a charm!

Okay, I've found out that there was a second server giving wrong data. Somehow the software decides which server to go to, I think... anyway, I'm routing server3 now also to server 1. Please download the latest executable and give it a try.

Stefan.
