EspoTek Labrador.Exe Bad Image #225

Open JasonAlcor opened 2 years ago

JasonAlcor commented 2 years ago

Hi, I'm not able to launch the EspoTek Labrador on a Windows 7 32 bit installation.

Upon launching the software I immediately get a libusbK.dll error.

Any help and advice would be appreciated in solving this issue.

Obviously the USB driver in the Labrador software is the problem as my Windows 7 machine fails to recognize the device when it's plugged into the USB on my computer.

When you installed, did you untick any of the boxes during the "prerequisites" step?

LibusbK should come as part of the package.

Hi,

At first I had a USB cable that was power only.

I switched that out and was able to install the USB drivers, but I now have the yellow triangle in the Device manager for Labrador USB drivers alerting that the drivers were not being installed correctly.

When I try to manually update the drivers I get the message that Windows encountered a problem and aborts the driver update. I get the message that the device cannot start code 10.

Okay, I was able to find a work-a-round to get the USB drivers installed and recognized in Device Manager without the yellow triangle, but when launching the Labrador installed software I get a windows pop-up stating that libusbK.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. The pop-up also states to try installing the program again using the original installation media. I tried that several times and it's the same results.

Any tips would be appreciated on what a proper Labrador registry entry should look like might go a long way in trying to figure this out.

This should help with Code 10: https://github.com/EspoTek/Labrador/wiki/Troubleshooting-Guide

On 32-bit Windows, it's almost always a bandwidth issue.

EspoTek commented 2 years ago

Regarding the bad Libusb install, unfortunately I can't provide a fix as I have no idea what you've installed or where you've got it from. This is the only report I've had of any LibusbK issues on 32-bit Windows since the launch window, out of almost 10,000 customers.

Please uninstall the software, manually delete anything you've put into the "Program Files/EspoTek" folder, then reinstall with the default settings.
