The 1706 Error message is an artifact of the InstallSheild program we have used since 1989. It builds the Hoster installation program. FYI: I don't see the 1706 message unless I have other programs running, or I haven't restarted Windows for a week or so.
We have tried for years, paid their $2,000 PER upgrade, and they can't give us a clue how to prevent it.
SO... after 21 years as their customer, with no support at all, we're dumping InstallShield and will be using the NSIS installer program. It will take some time to convert all our programs over to NSIS.

C:MTU\Hoster\def003.hst is an invalid playlist file format.
Please only open a playlist file with a .hst extension created by Hoster.
Kinda confused here. If anybody can help me get rid of this, most appreciated.

Well, this is telling you that your "def003.hst" playlist is damaged. It is very rare that a playlist gets damaged. You've lost the contents of that file.

Once again, most appreciate Hoster for their fine software & great support.

What version of Hoster are you running? We have code that specifically prevents the Preview Display from being positioned outside the active display area. This was added some versions back, I just don't remember which. Also, you may try shutting Hoster down, and restarting it. This also "should" reset the Preview Display back into the active screen.
