Change Release Notes
Thanks to Microsoft and a buggy webservice in .Net4, we were able to find a solution by recommending an upgrade to .Net 4.5.. However, that wasn't a very good solution! So I decided that we go back to the original web service method.
- Contains the original web service from the old ARC (EZ-Cloud and EZ-Bits)
- EZ-Bit Library has a manager to delete EZ-Bits
- Updated EZ-Bit library with new Bits for JD and Six
*Note, it is recommended that you delete all of the items in your EZ-Bit Library after installing this upgrade. Then, you will be able to Sync and get the least EZ-Bits.
1) Load ARC
2) Press PROJECT from the top menu
3) Press LIBRARY
4) Select MANAGE tab
5) Press REFRESH
6) Press SELECT ALL
7) Press DELETE
8) Answer YES
Now all of your EZ-Bits will be deleted. This is good.
1) Switch to DOWNLOAD tab
2) Press SYNC
Now you will have the latest EZ-Bit library. Voila!

I have custom EZ-Bits, not sure if that makes a difference? Although there is no path for 0 in the EZ-Bits folder, just 1 to 6 excluding 2
I have to fly out to the office in about 5 minutes, I'll check it out on XP when I get there (.net 4.0 framework there)
Edit: Ignore that, I think it may have been from cheating by copying the library across from my laptop.
Edit 2: Yes it was. Deleted the files manually from explorer (but left the folders 1, 3, 4, 5 & 6) and it's all better. I know some others did it this way too so they will need to do that.
DJ you and your staff are GODS
One note, the advanced/basic mode, when you check the boxes to tell it to display the control it actually hides the control from basic view, when unchecked it displays it. Unless I have read wrong that is backwards. No big deal but thought I should mention it.
But I have a question... I was waiting for a sound servo control that could give me the choice of the signal imput (the sound board OR the mic, OR both..), to triguer my prototype´s mouth movement. That would be great for animatronics..
Is that possible now (and I am not finding how to do it..) or it´s not in the update horizon ?
best regards..

May I ask why you would want to go back to 4.0 when the new ARC requires 4.5? Or is this just a computer for other uses?
However, that is correct. Uninstalling and reinstalling an older version should work. It may cause some issues with other applications however if they rely on 4.5 framework. Personally I would advise against doing so without good reason.
DJ can 4.5 be ok to use on ARC ,just in case other programs may need it ?
SO i should not a problem if i do can transfer to another computer.
The additions and improvements between 4.0 framework and 4.5 framework are explained here.
Basically, if you have 4.0 ARC will run just fine, if you have 4.5 ARC will run just fine too. But I'd still be asking why someone wants to downgrade.
