[hpsdr] Windows 7 / 64bit OS and PowerSDR_mRX

[George Byrkit]

Dear John,
That is an 'application error'.  The 'big red X' is an indicator that the image could not
be updated for some reason.  Did you see an 'error dialog' that showed you a stack trace?
If not, I hesitate greatly to call it a '.Net Error' when it is a programming error.

The case we are discussing is a specific error in PowerSDR, likely near startup, that says
that DTTSP.DLL will not load.  It won't load because its dependencies are missing.  Those
dependencies are either FFTW or more likely the C/C++ dependencies for Visual Studio 2010,
which are the ones that I described, because those dependencies are NOT installed when you
install the .Net Framework.  It is a separate installation from that.  However, those
files are installed by the installer I helped Doug create for PowerSDR.

I hope that I have clarified what I said earlier on the list about the specific error that
we were discussing?

I installed the lastest -  PowerSDR mRX v. 3.1.5 - on a Vista-64 machine that is in the
'shack' - and it ran fine but I got a ".net failure" after it ran awhile.  The display
with the frequency and waterfall showed a big red x with a white background - but PowerSDR
was still running - I could still hear the audio just fine.  


I didn't have any issues installing it - but, on that machine - it has been used for
software/firmware development and I have had many previous installations of PowerSDR on it
- but that was the first time I have seen that .net problem.

	What DTTPSP needs is the Visual C 2010 Redistributables.  That's the problem.  It
is NOT a
	.Net problem from the error message that you are showing.
	
	Please consider this: .Net messages are about PowerSDR itself.  But DTTPSP.DLL,
being a
	C/C++ DLL, needs the VC2010 Redistributables, which are NOT a part of the .Net
install.
	PowerSDR is currently built to work with .Net 4.0, I believe.
	
	If you have downloaded from CVS and are trying to build and run, you MUST have the
VC2010
	Redistributables.
	
	The best way to get these is to download the INSTALLER for PowerSDR (latest
version) and
	to run that.  If that's what you did, then there are other problems.
