Navmaster HASP dongle recognition

Symptom
On starting Navmaster, you get a message 'Unable to locate haspds.windows.dll' or 'Unable to locate aksubs.sys'. Usually this occurs with USB keys.

Probable Reason The updated HASP drivers are not installed on the PC following a change of PC, a change of security key from parallel to USB or an upgrade/new installation of Navmaster. Follow the instructions below to install new drivers.

  1. Type the following address - www.pcmaritime.co.uk/public - into your browser (or click this link). You will see a list of files to download.
  2. Select Hinstall.exe which is a self-extracting zip executable file containing new HASP drivers
  3. If Navmaster is on the computer you have used to connect to the web, then run the Hinstall.exe. Otherwise, save it to a temporary folder and copy to the computer used for Navmaster, then run it.
  4. By default the Hinstall.exe will try to extract the files to C:\ (although you can change this). The files will be extracted to a sub-directory "Hinstall. For example, C:\Hinstall. Click 'Unzip' to extract the files.
  5. Locate the sub-directory "Hinstall" in Windows Explorer, open it, right-click on Hinstall.exe and select Send To\Desktop (create Shortcut).
  6. Close, return to your Desktop and find the newly created icon "Shortcut to Hinstall.exe"
  7. Right-click on the 'Shortcut to Hinstall.exe' icon, select Properties, and in the Target line place your cursor at the end of the text and enter one space followed by -i (small dash with the letter i - must be lower case)
  8. The Target line should now read C:\HInstall\hinstall.exe -i
    Then click OK.
  9. Double-click on the hinstall icon, this will install the new drivers to the PC. A dialogue will be displayed indicating successful installation.
