Note: If you have not set the WeatherLink.app file to run in 32 bit mode follow this link for complete instructions. Setting 32 bit mode

 

WeatherLink.app must be set to run in 32 bit mode to execute properly.  Running in 32 bit mode will resolve the error listed in Figure 1 for 99.99% of users.  For the handful that it does not you will be required to upgrade to this beta version of 5.10b.

 

To upgrade to v5.10b you will need place two files in your WeatherLink installation directory, WeatherLink510b.app and WeatheLink.jar.  Clicking the link below will download the .zip file containing both the. app and .jar files.

 

WeatherLink510b.zip 

 

 

Open the .zip file and save WeatherLink510b.app and WeatheLink.jar  into  the WeatherLink installation directory.  This folder can be found under Applications and Mac OSX WeatherLink.  See Figure 2.

Once you have done this you will be able to run WeatherLink510b.app successfully.

 

Note: Be sure to change or make new shortcuts that execute the WeatherLink510b.app and not the prior Weatherlink.app file.
