ImportError: No module named _osmosdr_swig

[crackedX]

I've seen quite a few hits for the error based on Linux builds with varying environments, but nothing related to the packaged Windows install. Windows 10 2004 with HackRF hardware.

Launched with run_GRC.bat:

E:\radio\GNURadio-3.8\bin>CALL run_gr.bat gnuradio-companion.py
setting gnuradio environment

Thanks for the report. Usually these errors are related to some kind of DLL load failure. I do have a HackRF now, and have a plan to do an update for the GR project by the end of November. I'll try to reproduce and fix before then. If I can't reproduce, I'll ask for a Dependency Checker (or similar) run against the osmosdr.dll in the python site-package directory tree (from the run_gr.bat environment) to assist.

I've released a new windows installer here. Please install that and see if the problem continues.

Closing.
