Virtual Prime does not connect to CK

[DG7RBN]

@BruceH
Thanks a lot, your hints solved the problem. Virtual Prime pops up a few seconds after starting CK. Good to know that both programs work together without all the network/bonjour "humpty dumpty".
I also experience sudden freeze of CK for 5...10 seconds from time to time. Also installing both programs on a PC not connected to the internet is very slow. Maybe the installer and the software feel a need to "call home" once in a while, an annoying "feature" of many programs nowadays.

@Tschumi81
"services.msc" does not show more information than the task manager's "Services" tab, most likely under the hood the same program. "Bonjour" & "mDns...something" are not installed in Win10 and apparrently not necessary as BruceH pointed out.

Thanks a lot for your help, guys. Next step would be to try VP & CK running under "Wine".

The HP Prime is an amazing hardware platform with a sometimes rather bumpy software topping, lacking lots of essential documentation (... did I say "Python"). Sad to hear that HP stepped out completely.
Cyrille, Tim and the others developers are doing a great job trying to polish out all the rough edges. But will it be only a "hobby project" for them from now on ? With bug fixes, software and documentation updates slowly dying out ?
