"Previously I was using *******. IQFeed is WAY more economical, and for my charting needs is just as good, if not better." - Comment from Public Forum Post

"I have to tell you though that using the IQFeed API is about the easiest and cleanest I have seen for some time." - Comment from Jim

"For anyone considering using DTN.IQ for a data feed, my experience with the quality of data and the tech support has been very positive." - Comment from Public Forum

"If you are serious about your trading I would not rely on IB data for serious daytrading. Took me a while to justify the cost of IQ Feed and in the end, it's just a 2 point stop on ES. Better safe than sorry" - Comment from Public Forum

"I am a hedge fund manager here. It’s funny, I have a Bloomberg terminal and a Bridge feed, but I still like having my DTN feed!" - Comment from Feras

"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

"Everything is working amazing now. I'm already impressed with the true-tick feed of IQFeed and it's ability to support my 480 symbol layout." - Comment from Tyler via Email

"I like you guys better than *******...much more stable and a whole lot fewer issues." - Comment from Philip

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.
