Sharpcap 3.2.6473 will not start

#1

Post by artar »

I was updating software on my computer in anticipation of doing imaging in the next week or two. I was upgrading from 3.2.6383 which worked fine. Love your product by the way. I clicked on 'Check for updates' which downloaded 3.2.6473, and then clicked on 'Install and Relaunch' After Install, it went to relaunch, the startup banner came up, disappeared, but Sharpcap did not start up. I tried installing previous versions to see what would work. The latest version that works on my computer is 3.2.6421.
I reinstalled 6473 and reran from command line with 'dump' option which is attached.
I last updated Win 10 2/12/2021. I am running Win 10 v2004 OS Build 19041.685. .Net 4.8
I am using ZWO ASI290MC and ASI294MC Cameras
Computer is a Dell with i7 chip.
The log is empty.

Let me know if you need more information

Looking through the forum, I found a couple of other things to try:
Shift - Start SharpCap to get log file:

Thank you for looking into this. It has been a while since I've had to admin Win, Win 7 was the last release. I forgot about event viewer. It was a frustrating part of my career, and have tried to put Win OS behind me. Unfortunately, There are a couple of products for imaging and processing that I like too much that run on Win, like SharpCap.
I doubled checked the errors in the EV and they were exactly the same. Performed the Regedt, and it works fine. Thank you for your time. Love your product and recommend it to my club. Keep up the good work.

Hi,

Glad to hear that that worked :) I've now fixed this problem in the code, so there is an update to 3.2 that shouldn't need the registry fix in case it happens to someone else.

Cheers, Robin
