I was looking at award flights from MSP-DEN on jan 15 and KVS is showing YS/YA + i go onto NWA and it says it can not find and Perksavers available Jan 15 coming back on the 19th. Just curious what i am doing wrong.

another interesting thing is that NWA acutally shows the cream color stating persaver available but can't find anything. only Perkpass 50k miles

Exactly. Without that, it simply ain't worth it. Oh well.

Data transport Service installation starts
 
Everytime I try to start KVA Tool, the windows installer starts up and wants to install a windows component? It is looking for an .msi package. I have searched this thread but nothing is returned. If I continually hit cancel it will eventually quit restarting and then the KVS tool will come up. However, it errors out when traing to transfer data. This seems to indicate that some underlying windows service is not running or properly configured. Has anyone else seen this problem? I am on a corporate laptop with enough protection that I'm not too concerned that it is infected, but I suppose anything is possible even if I do not wander freely around the web when sitting in a hotel somewhere.

Thanks,
Roger

Pls see the FAQ under "I am being prompted to complete installation for ____________ " (Part 3), and under "Error Messages" (Part 1).

"Data Transport Service Control"

I did find that and it was pretty unhelpful. It seems clear that there is an interaction between the KVS Tool and this "Data Transport Service Control" program (DTSC) for whatever reason. It only comes up when attempting to run the KVS tool. If I repeatedly cancel the install, the Tool will start and data is apparently retrieved, but can not be displayed.

My question was directed more to others who may have seen this same problem and not at the developer of this very good program. There is no way you can account for every last vagrant program or service running under WinXP and I don't expect that. I did look in the windows components of Add/Remove programs but it was not listed.

I forgot to mention that I had the problem under 2.6.x, and tried installing 2.7 to see if that would take carte of it. Unfortunately it did not and I made the original post. Thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that helps. I have no idea if the DTSC program has other applications on my laptop or not. I wouldn't be surprised as there are some SAP interface programs that were installed since I last tried to run it.

There is actually no "interaction" between KVS Tool and ___________ (whichever software/component title is causing this). Windows is simply trying to fix an installation error (caused by that software, not KVS Tool), when you try to launch the Tool.

Have you tried doing a Repair for "Data Transport Service Control" in Add/Remove Programs?

Please note the absence alert that is posted on the Tool's homepage ...
