Thanks. I downloaded EDDiscovery 8.41 and it said "This package was created with a trial version of Advanced Installer. You may use it for evaluation purposes only."
Not good!
It was suggested to use 8.3 on the EDDiscovery website. It was not available! Do you have to buy this App? And where will I download it from. Also, do I need to sign up to EDD?

So, I want to give others the chance to find this stuff. How does this EDDiscovery work?

All the versions of EDDiscovery are here, scroll down for v8.3.3.
https://github.com/EDDiscovery/EDDiscovery/releases

You can also use the portable version which doesn't use an installer.

It's free and no signing up.

I downloaded and installed 8.4.2.
It works well, but I just can't get my head around how to make the information available to whoever wants it.
I think it is EDDiscovery who wants information, but robbyxp1 in using the settings panel .... his instruction in using the settings panel, I just cant follow.
I'll leave it for the moment. Maybe the instructions for 8.4.2 are different from 8.3. (something about an API)
