I live by a beach in the Philippines and have used this software for years. I tried to install and run it on my new Lenovo running Windows 10 version 10.0.19043 build 19043. I can download the program, unzip and install it to c:/programs files/WXTide32. However, when attempting to run the program I get fatal error message, "Could not open harmonics file harmonics-2004-06-14.TCD". It does run on my older Windows 10 laptop.

Regarding the question, it seems that the issue is related to opening a specific file for the program WXTide32 on a new Lenovo laptop running Windows 10. The user mentions successfully installing the program but facing a fatal error when trying to run it, specifically related to opening the "harmonics-2004-06-14.tcd" file. The program runs fine on their older Windows 10 laptop.
To address the issue, it is recommended to check if the "harmonics-2004-06-14.tcd" file is located in the correct directory and has proper permissions. It is also worth verifying if the file is not corrupted or incompatible with the newer laptop. Additionally, seeking support from the software's official documentation or contacting its developer may provide further assistance in resolving the error.
Why has WXTide32 stopped working in Windows 10? It seems to be something to do with the .cfg file.

I've installed the application and it appears that it's working in Windows 10, but there is a trick to make it work. You have to launch it exactly from where you've launched it for the first time since it creates a CFG file that's necessary for it to run properly. Without the CFG file, an error message will be displayed instead. If you have trouble with its launch, then reinstall the software again and make sure to save the CFG file using File > Legacy Config > Save.
