I am NOT a Trimble user, HOWEVER I am attempting to install a couple utilities so I can convert Trimble native files (T02 currently) to RINEX for office processing. I have old versions installed and they work, however both utilities abort while attempting to install current versions. I assume something on my PC? Any ideas?
My first thought would be administrator rights, but I am guessing you have that already.
Sometimes those older utilities will hang around and not let you update or install, or crash new versions once installed, especially if they are several versions back. You might want to try uninstalling the older versions, then running Trimble's Cleanup Utility before re-trying the installs. While it is designed for TBC, it wipes out associated components too, which would include the configuration utility, GPS configuration and Convert to Rinex...
@rover83 i may go the clean up route. I did try the admin route, same result.
Same message trying to install the cleanup utility, dang machine just doesn't like anything from Trimble 🙂

Not sure if this applies here, but some of the Trimble software requires that you uninstall the old version before attempting to install the new.
Shelby: I convert the .t02 files in a batch mode using command line utilities. I have a program that creates the batch file, and then I just run it. It uses two command line programs: runpkr00 (from trimble but I got it at unavco) and teqc.?ÿ
Here are the four lines that are created for each .t02 file:
runpkr00 -g -d 00362300.T02
runpkr00 -d 00362300.T02
teqc.exe -tr d +C2 -O.mo "XXXX" 00362300.tgd >00362300.21o
teqc.exe +qc 00362300.21o
The first line creates a .tgd file
the second line creates a .dat file
The third line converts the .tgd file to rinex. In my program you can put change receiver type, antenna type, put in an HI, station name, and decimate the rinex file. The "XXXX" is in the above because I did not specify a station name, and I always want that in their rather then "default". Note the +C2, OPUS works better if that is in there.?ÿ
The fourth line creates a summary of the rinex file.?ÿ

Has TEQC been updated to handle T04 files? Last time I tried to convert I got a ton of errors, and as far as I know it was end of life.
No, it will not handle t04 files. And, as you said, it is not being updated. A real shame, very useful utility.?ÿ
Thanks for confirming, I was disappointed when it was discontinued. I still use it, converting T04 files with ConvertToRINEX and then decimating/splitting with TEQC.
@john-hamilton that is certainly an option. No idea why I can't install newer versions, I have old versions installed on this PC and working.

Issue has been resolved. Started PC in safe mode, but software wouldn't install, rebooted and it installed fine. I had completed more than one reboot in normal mode with no joy, so it seems to be the act of trying to install in safe mode that then made the install work in normal mode. Windows has it's own madness sometimes!

Which program are you trying to install? Trimble has a convert to rinex program?ÿ
