Cant get it working on Windows10 Home 64 #1

Closed El-Mare closed 8 years ago

El-Mare commented 8 years ago

Hello @djhansel VERY nice work, thanks for that! Unfortunately I cant get it working on my Win10 Home 64 HTPC. I installed the full package of DirectX9 and edited the config to my setup. After starting the exe, the grey icon appears in tray and just disappears a few seconds later. The same procedure instantly worked on a Win7 Prof 64 machine like a charm. Do you have any recommendations regarding Win10?

Hey @El-Mare. I experienced the same issue when the SlimDX.dll was not copied in the installation. I have to do some testing on windows 10 Home edition to see why this is happening.

Hi @djhansel Thanks for digging into this. Will retest this with another Win 10 Home 64 machine later... What do you mean by

when the SlimDX.dll was not copied in the installation

Is there a workaround by copying the SlimDX.dll somewhere manually? Where?

hanselb commented 8 years ago

@El-Mare There should be 3 files in the same folder for HyperionScreenCap to work. They are included in the relase zip file.

HyperionScreenCap.exe HyperionScreenCap.exe.config SlimDX.dll

Quick update @El-Mare I was able to get it to work on a Windows 10 VM after installing Visual Studio 2015. I am not sure why that seems to be a requirement. I will continue to test and update the installation package once I find what is getting installed by VS that is needed.

@djhansel thanks for your update. I just found the time to test on a second win 10 Home 64 machine - and it works! The difference to my HTPC is, that on the 2nd PC MS Office is installed - together with MS Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime. Also there are several MS Visual C++ Redistributables (2008 - 2013) installed - don't know if they could be involved... If I can be of any help in finding out, what really is needed for Hyperion Screen Cap to properly work, please let me know!

Hi @El-Mare the solution was installing the Visual C++ 2010 version. I have created an installer that should setup the dependencies. You can download it from here to test it on your HTPC Thanks for the help figuring this out. :smile:
