[guide-user] Guide9 started asking for the DVD

[Riccardo Papini]

Hi all,

I use Guide9 in the observatory PC since 2016. Recently, when I launch the
program, it asks for the DVD.

The OS is Windows10, the pc has not a CD reader (I installed Guide9 simply
copying the directory in C:/Guide9 via USB key) and it has been working
fine for five years (actually much more thinking of the other pcs I use
astronomical computation).

I suspect of Windows10 updates but no smoking gun round there.

Any idea?

Riccardo
