Problem solved-SBS-1 Software.

Well this is how I finally did it,and it now works perfectly in conjunction with the software download which automatically installs to your computer,for anyone having similar problems follow this sequence,dont ask me why it is in reverse ?! Microsoft have set up a rather confusing sequence,here goes-
1/ Install Microsoft.net Framework V3.
2/This will then prompt you to install a patch V2.
3/Now you can go ahead and install the required Net.Framework V1.1 which downloads as a file called dotnetfix,which when opened merges everything together.
4/Finally download the specialised HEX code software.
For those like myself without an SBS-1 box as yet,but wishing to test the linked software just place in say Hex Code 40040 and it should come up G-BNLA Boeing 747,and if it fires up then everything is functioning.
All that I need now is the SBS-1 box to connect to my computer,these are realtime radar systems that with a mag mount antennae can track aircraft from 75 miles away giving altitude,fix,squawk and callsign,with a roof antennae you can get 400 miles plus.
I will be doing a review of this system in due course here on Scale-Models.
All UK aircraft are required to have transponders equipped by the year 2007 by the CAA,this gives the system even more scope.
