"Thank you so much - awesome feed, awesome service!" - Comment from Greg via Email

"I ran your IQFeed DDE vs. my broker vs. a level II window for some slow-moving options. I would see the level II quote change, then your feed update instantaneously. My broker's DDE, however, would take as much as 30 seconds to update. I am not chasing milliseconds, but half a minute is unacceptable." - Comment from Rob

"As a past ******* customer(and not a happy one), IQ Feed by DTN is a much better and cheaper product with great customer support. I have had no problems at all since switching over." - Comment from Public Forum

"I just wanted to let you know how fast and easy I found it to integrate IQFeed into our existing Java code using your JNI client. In my experience, such things almost never go so smoothly - great job!" - Comment from Nate

Author	Topic: Issue with retrieving news stories on Vista 64 (5 messages, Page 1 of 1)
QuoteCore -Interested User- Posts: 5 Joined: Feb 26, 2010	Posted: Mar 15, 2010 08:54 PM Msg. 1 of 5 I have faced the following problem: After I have installed IQFeed client version 4.6.1.0 and IQFeed Developer, version 4.7.0.9 I am not able to retrieve news stories with newsLookup.RetrieveStory() method, return string which previously contained news story now is always empty. One time it contained "d" as a return string. The same issue happens on Windows7. Could you please advise what the solution should be for that issue? Thanks!

Please see attached screenshot. So, when someone installs latest versions of IQfeed client application 4.7.0.9 and dev api also version 4.7.0.9 news stories are not available under Vista64 and Windows7.

My initial guess is that you do not have the MSXML 4.2 parser installed (it isn't installed by default in Vista/Win7). You can verify this is the issue by testing the feed using the RetrieveStoryXML() method instead of the RetrieveStory() method (the XML method doesn't require the parser). If the XML method works, please install the following: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3144b72b-b4f2-46da-b4b6-c5d7485f2b42&DisplayLang=en

The issue is that before I have upgraded to newest version of client and api package everything was working fine and news stories were retrieved ok both in Vista and W7. I don't use XML methods, instead I am trying to retrieve news stories into string variable. And first time I am trying to retrieve the result string contains "d" and then all other requests are finished with empty result string. I will try to install MS XML parser and will get back with the results. Many thanks for the help again.
