New experimental feature for Zi Wei application .......

The Build 2019 March has a new experimental feature added, namely Annual Si Hua for the supplementary Class of 2019.




In this example, annual Ji stem sends a Hua Ji transformer to the Wen Qu palace!

As this release is for students who attended the March 2019 Class complementary, it will be released at later date.




How to stop Windows Security from removing the apps !

Windows Security generally assumed my packed applications are malware.

This is the due to the security envelope that I inserted in my application to discourage tampering.

To stop Windows Security from removing my applications, please exempt them from scanning.

Please read this blog entry from a computer browser, for some strange reasons, it does not render well on a phone.


Führen Sie die folgenden Schritte aus, um zu verhindern, dass Windows meine Apps als Malware einstuft.

Pour empêcher Windows de classer incorrectement mes applications en tant que programmes malveillants, procédez comme suit.

За да предотвратите погрешно класифициране на приложенията ми като злонамерен софтуер, изпълнете следните стъпки.

Download the app to white-listed folder
Download the apps onto a folder on your computer from Google Drive using Edge or Chrome (avoid Mozilla the crapware).  However it is recommended that you should white-list the folder that the files will downloaded to.  

The next few steps will show you how to white a folder in Windows.



In this example, the user has stored all the apps in a folder for easier backup.  BaziApp and Zi Wei data files are interchangeable, putting them in a same folder is a good choice.







To white list the folder, follow the next few steps for Windows Security.  Mcafee instructions are below this section.  If you are using an ancient version of Windows, you have to type Windows Defender and patiently scroll to look for the Exclusion options.











Click Yes when the User Account Control dialog pops up.



Mcafee LiveState
You are out of luck, you can't whitelist folders so you have to whitelist the program files individually.



Click on the tool button



Click real time scanning.



Click Add file button and white each program as required.


That Blue Dialog ...
When you try to execute the apps, Windows may complain about the files again as it was downloaded from the Internet.

Use lunar calendar to plot Bazi chart?

This is a very strange question that I received recently for my Bazi application.

The answer is "No".

The next question is likely to be "Will you implement Bazi charting feature based on lunar calendar?"

The answer is "Never in a billion years."

Imagine you are solving mechanics questions using Newton's Equation of Motion on earth, your are using SI units for length e.g. metric system and you decide to use 32.2 feet per second as the acceleration for gravity.  

Your answers will be completely inaccurate.

This is the sorry outcome if you disregard fundamentals and use "pseudo facts" to package a new system.

On a lighter note, I implemented an experimental new feature for Flying Stars Zi Wei Duo Shu software, annual year Si Hua transformers.



The current year is 2019.  The year's heavenly stem is 己/Ji.  

己/Ji sends Hua Quan to Tan Lang, Hua Ji to Wen Qu.  In addition, it sends Hua Ke to Tian Liang.  To differentiate the birth year transformers, some visual cue has been thrown in.

And by the way, please update your Windows with the latest security patches.
