Once again, the KVS Tool has nothing to do with your accounting software, but Windows Installer does suggest that you correct its installation.

Says you. I've been installing dozens and dozens of programs over the years and NEVER had any such message before. Yet this happens so frequently to YOUR installation program that you have FAQ Question #15 dedicated to "answering" it. yeah, that's a "windows" problem. :rolleyes:

You might want to do some research before accusing people:

Maybe something to do with a shared component?

At the moment, only EK Partner Y Awards are supported:
http://Help.KVSTool.com/#EK

We expect that support for additional EK Award Booking Classes will become available in the KVS Tool as the EK-QF JV progresses.

Got a new error that I haven't seen before.

The first time I do an Amadeus: Awards/M&M query after starting KVS, I get a dialog saying:

Data Source Error [L1]:
"Please log in or enroll as a new member"

However, if I try the query again, it works fine. I have a true M&M account that even has miles in it, so it's not an issue of a temporary account. Logging into the M&M website works fie as well. Problem returns every time I restart KVS

Please try clearing MSIE Cookies and restarting the KVS Tool.

If the issue persists, then it must be something specific to your M&M account as we have not been able to reproduce this behavior.

You need to specify a connecting point or search segment-by-segment:

And just as suddenly as the error appeared, it has disappeared, without me doing anything :confused:

KVS any ideas why the tool is showing seats that BA.com is not.

Check out 8-9th April from NCL to LHR and KVS shows seats which BA.com does not.

Its using my log in so where is it seeing seats available from?

You should be able to book them as Business Class seats.
