Thank you for the continued support.
Just bought and installed this yesterday to get in during the sale, so I haven't had much time in it yet, but I have really enjoyed it so far!

Thanks for the notification ! :ernae:

Thanks for the notification ! :ernae:

Not sure what "notification" you are talking about but I just tried to download the update from the MilViz site and the link failed - please be advised.

EDIT: Just saw the notification on the MilViz site that they had a server crash and lost the update. There was some reservation expressed about when or if they could get it back so I suggest we all be patient and stay tuned.

Krazycolin, Link not working on my end. Did not see patch on Milviz site. Would you pleas eb of assistance on getting the patch?

Thank you.

Um, due to some excitement about the new service update, Colin mistakenly posted a private link from my own ftp server. I've removed that file from my server and updated the installer to fix a last minute issue with the panel.cfg file anyway.

Please be patient until all of our download sites are updated with the newest installer.

If by chance anyone did manage to download from that link, here is a corrected set of panel.cfg files for it:

Thanks so much!

Bump de bump. I am still looking to download the B55 service pack It is not on the Milviz site, on the B55 page. Is it widely available yet? Where can I get it?:mixedsmi:

[krazycolin]

I am on vacation. I have no access to the MV FTP.

If you bought it off of our site, then you will, sadly, have to wait until I am back. If you bought it somewhere else, I have already sent the file to all, repeat ALL, of our vendors... so I would contact them and see if they have it up on their sites.

After that, just redownload and install..

I intend to keep the B-55 on sale on our site only for an extra 5 days after I return to "adjust" for the lost days...

Thanks for being patient.
