Ascendis Caller ID beta version 4.0.0.13 now available

Post by Bill Root »

Version 4.0.0.13 includes the following changes from the previous beta release:
  • when an automatic version check determines that a new version is available but the program is minimized, don't show the window until the program is restored
  • when starting Ascendis Caller ID at the end of the installer, run it as the original user instead of a possibly different (admin) user required for installation
  • added user name to Technical Support Report

This version can coexist with version 3, with the following caveats:

We don't recommend running Ascendis Caller ID version 3 and version 4 at the same time. Besides the obvious confusion, in many cases only one program can access the modem or Whozz Calling? device at once.
If you later decide to uninstall Ascendis Caller ID version 3, don't delete the data. You will be prompted during uninstall whether to keep or delete the data. If you delete the data, it will delete the data for all versions of Ascendis Caller ID. This does not happen with the version 4 uninstaller, but it's better to be safe and never delete the data, or back it up first. The data is normally stored in C:\ProgramData\Ascendis Software\Ascendis Caller ID.

In spite of the caveats, it makes sense to keep version 3 around while trying out version 4, but you probably won't be able to run both of them at the same time. The version 4 installer disables version 3 autolaunch.

Version 4 will offer to copy the data and settings from version 3 when first launched, if version 3 is installed.


As always, bug reports and feedback are appreciated.
