A Viewer for Windows, ESP32 Projects, Cast, NotifyOnDemand, Push2Run and SetVol

Oh, just noticed this as well. Although I ran the application and received the error I posted, the application remained running in the background. I don't see the Push2Run interface anywhere. It disappeared once I hit OK and I assumed the application exited. I don't even see a systray icon for that matter. Very curious. The application actually seems to be working despite the fact there is no interface to be seen.

The program was originally written and tested to work with Windows 10, I then made changes to fix the restart error for WIndows 7; I haven't tested or updated it for Windows 2008 which was given a mainstream end of life by Microsoft of 2015 and will be completely unsupported in six months ( https://sandstormit.com/windows-server- ... -is-near/ ). I'd recommend trying to (re)install the dot net framework 4.6.2 and if that doesn't work you might want to try the program on a Windows 10 machine.

Hi Smee.

What if you were to try creating a shortcut to the executable, then going into its properties and running it with admin rights ?

Also, the error message does look like a .net error message. There is a tool from MS that repairs .net errors :

Hi Warrior,

Tried that, but didn't seem to help. I'm not sure the .Net repair is going to do anything. I have other .Net applications which are running without issue. I also ran it in compatibility mode and still no go. It has something to do with running it with an admin account on the console. If I RDP to the box and run the application, then no issue other than I'm prompted for admin credentials to run in admin mode. I'm going to try creating a RunAs script using a non-admin account to see if that helps any.

Rob,

Just an FYI, I had more time to look at the application today and found that the reason Push2Run was coming up with that crazy error I posted earlier was because Push2Run could not locate Push2RunReloader.exe. So I added an entry for the following key to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Push2RunReloader.exe]
@="C:\\Program Files\\Push2Run\\Push2RunReloader.exe"

The error went away, but of course all that did was cause Push2Run to start restarting all over again. So then I compared the user.config file between an account that was running via fine via RDP with UAC enabled and the console account. I noticed that the StartBossAsAdministratorByDefault was set to false on the account running via the console. I set that to true and tried again. Well, It's working now with no restarts at all. Hurray! BTW, I don't know if it matters, but I saw that the application was also having issues finding SQLite.Interop.dll, however that wasn't causing any errors that I know of.

Glad you got it working.

The file:
SQLite.Interop.dll
should be in
C:\Program Files\Push2Run

It should be needed for the program to access its own database - so I guess it's finding it someplace (?)

Rob,

Not sure why. Maybe a pathing issue similar to what I experienced with Push2RunReLoader.exe. Seems unique to my setup. I saw that it was trying to find it in C:\Program Files\Push2Run\x86 so I placed a copy of what you had in C:\Program Files\Push2Run in x86 and the file not found messages went away. I was using process monitor to see what the application was doing in the background which is where I saw what it was looking for.
