Calendar Creator Deluxe v 12.1

This appears to be a .NET issue that Broderbund (now Encore) is not willing to supply a patch for.  This is a fairly common issue with programs that have a database under the hood.  It's not uncommon for vendors to provide patches or suggestions for rolling back the .Net so that software remains usable.  

I emailed the Encore Customer Service representative specifically asking him to refer my question to the developers if he didn't know the answer to my question - to which he replied "I do not have this information unfortunately."  Either their customer service is really awful or they don't want to answer that question because a simple patch would suffice.  They'd rather sell us a new version of the software.

Works Great

How about Microsoft issuing a patch to fix this problem that they have created? 

I see your problem now. Let me explain to you how things work. It's been explained over and over, but here it is again:

How can Microsoft possibly know what their updates are going to do to Calendar Creator? Microsoft doesn't have the software code for Calendar Creator, nor for any program that they didn't write. So how is Microsoft supposed to know what to put in that patch you want them to issue?

Besides, why would Microsoft want to 'render your program unusable?' How is it in their best interests to have less software that can run on Windows? Microsoft doesn't have anything that competes with Calendar Creator.

The only people who have the code for Calendar Creator - or any application program - are the developers who wrote the program in the first place. Only the developers are in a position to maintain their software so that it continues to work with the changes to an operating system. That's what it means when we say that software is 'supported.' It's a developer's responsibility to support their software. No one else can. And even if it were possible, let's say by industrial espionage, for Microsoft to lay their hands on that code, they couldn't do anything with it, because it's the developer's legally protected intellectual property.

So if you want to vent you wrath at someone, get ahold of the developers who wrote your version of Calendar Creator and give 'em hell. Demand that they update their code so it continues to work with Windows 10, and so no one has to pay for them for the latest version of Calendar Creator.

I took the chance on 12.2 and it seamlessly reads the .bcc calendars -- don't know anything about the additional features. It installed in its own new folder so it is safe to uninstall previous versions.

One thing to watch for is that the purchase site redirects your browser to a completely different address. I did a little research about the address and found nothing bad, so I downloaded the installation file and checked it with two AV programs and it comes up clean.

It's a shame companies add these redirections, which these days raise so many red flags. It is as if they want drive customers away.

I have the same problem.  I am the only user/administrator on my privately owned computer.  Thanks for this note. Suspect it is a problem with the recent windows update also.  I have used it for years and want to continue using it. But I will wait and not do an uninstall since it does not fix our issue.
