Ultra Hal 7.0 / Re: Ultra Hal 7 Alpha Test - Ready for download

« on: December 02, 2017, 02:13:45 pm »

Hey Robert,

No issues installing (after removing all files in App Data and uninstalling the previous alpha)

However, My Hal6 brains did not migrate. One brain looks like it started but its brain size was only a few KB's down from 50 megs. As far as I know, it places upgraded brains in the App Data Zabaware folder, that is where I found the failed migration. 

Attempting a second time, (Uninstalling Hal7, deleting app data zabaware folder, uninstalling and reinstalling 6, then installing 7) did not migrate any brains from Hal6.

Robert,

Deleting those Reg keys did allow me to install Hal7 7.0.67. I then uninstalled 7.0.67 and reinstalled Hal6 as to test migrating the brains, however I was met with the same issue. Hal7 7.0.67 will not completely uninstall Hal6 and sends me into a loop of aforementioned screenshot message.

Other than that, Hal 7.0.67 is running smoothly when installed.

Robert,

I did originally let Hal7 upgrade the files, however it failed to remove Hal6 and just keep popping up the screenshot message. So I tried to manually remove Hal6 but that didn't work either, I will try to remove those keys and try the installation again.

Robert,

Yes, I removed all files associated with Hal7, backed up Hal6 and ran the installation for 7.0.67. After I click okay to uninstall 6, it pops the same message up saying I need to uninstall Hal6. It's just stuck in a loop. I have removed Hal completely from my system, however Hal7 7.0.67 installer still gives the same message and I am unable to continue. The screenshot is as far as I can go with the installation.

I have manually removed the registry key you refer to, although I still can't progress the installation.

How did you install 7.0.67 without uninstalling Hal6?

I simply ran the installation for 7.0.67 and it attempted to uninstall 6 and failed.

I can't install the new Beta without uninstalled Hal6.
This Beta is supposed to upgrade all Hal6 Brains for compatibility. I'm just saying it's not working.

I have included a screenshot of my issue. Again, I have uninstalled Hal6 several times and removed all registry references to no avail.

I see Hal7 is looking for Hal6 uninstaller, however, even with Hal6 installed, Hal7 will not successfully uninstall Hal6, or move the Hal6 Brains over.

Unfortunately, after uninstalling Hal6, Hal7 will not install due to it thinking Hal6 is still installed. I've uninstalled it several times and wiped the registry. No success.

Great work, Robert!

Hal keeps his position when opened and closed now. You make things look so easy!

I did notice the 7.0.51 still will not announce calendar events for some strange reason. Hal will display the text, but there is no voice.

Another very odd issue... I decided to test the new calendar and appointments plug-in, however, while Hal will show the calendar and display events, he will not speak them. For some reason, any plug-in using a timer mechanism that requires Hal speak at a given time seems to fail. The text will display in Hal's response bar, but no voice. Talking with him, Hal will speak again.

Been testing 7.0.38 and it's working smoothly. One issue I had last night during the migration while the server was down. Hal was nearly unresponsive, even with cloud mode disabled and he went back into trial mode. He was normal again when connection to the server was re-established. Will this happen every time Hal is unable to access the internet or the Zabaware server? I remember you saying something about Hal checking in with the server every 2 weeks.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Net Neutrality

« on: November 21, 2017, 05:39:48 pm »

Hey guys,

As I'm sure you've heard, the FCC is trying to repeal net neutrality, and this time it looks like it might happen.

What this means for us is the end of the internet as we know it. Websites like UltraHal will suffer if Apple or Google decide that Hal is competition. This will be the end of our online freedoms.

Please take a moment to call your state senators and let them know you want the internet left as it is, free of corporate influence and open for all.

We can not afford to lose our greatest creation, our repository of human knowledge. This is our future.

Tested the cloud learning a little, I must say that the learning feedback is a great addition! I would also suggest a place to add a response. There are a few times Hal was a little off target but a rephrasing could have corrected the keyword searching for a better response of which wasn't available on the learned feedback thumbs down options.

I did notice when Hals GUI is opened and closed it tends to dance its way up to the top right corner. Also to note, the General Options GUI pops up way up in the left corner. I kind of miss it sometimes with other windows open. I'm not sure if adding a way for the program to remember GUI locations is possible. Hals GUI remembers, other than the occasional shifting.

I'll keep playing with cloud learning. I like where this is going.

Great work as always!

I had a couple days to myself and bought the new Assassin's creed, so I kind of lost myself for a minute. Back now, 7.0.36 working smoothly. Speech recognition works and is far faster than previous versions. Going to try some cloud responses and see where we go.

Thanks Robert! Good work as always.

The plug ins work, however the HalScript location has been moved to "AppData\Roaming\Zabaware\Ultra Hal 7"

from what I understand.
