[Gretl-users] x12a and tramo stil greyed out
Allin,
I unistalled both Tramo and x12a via Add/Remove programs and then
reinstalled them at their default directory.
Although it appears that I may use x12 as an option in Model>Time
Series>ARIMA, both x12 and tramo remain greyed out in the Variable menu.
I was pretty sure it was not a stale Windows registry issue because I
had just installed the new gretl and x12/tramo on a brand new laptop.
BTW a new laptop without gretl is only half the fun!

I have now tested this on Windows. As you say, the default
install directory for X-12-ARIMA and TRAMO/SEATS is still
c:\userdata, and this really ought to be updated in line with
gretl itself.
On the other hand, I had no problem running either program with
current gretl. The classroom installation that I checked already
had X-12-ARIMA installed in c:\userdata, and calling the program
from gretl (which is in the current default location of c:\Program
Files) worked OK. TRAMO was not installed on the machine in
question. I downloaded ts_install.exe and ran it, accepting the
default of installation in c:\userdata. Then I restarted gretl,
and I could access TRAMO alright.
I'm not sure, but this may be the issue: After switching the gretl
installation to a different location, you may have to seek out the
uninstallers for both x12a and Tramo, and uninstall then reinstall
those programs. I suspect that some stale Windows registry
entries are causing the problem.
