Mode-S Tweaker

[Snoop55]

Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong group but as it's related to my BaseStation.sqb file I'm hoping someone can get me back on track.  I've been running Mode-S Tweaker on an old PC, as the BaseStation file got bigger I thought that a newer PC might speed things up a bit.  Although the install on the old PC was painless, I've ended up with a couple of error messages after the install on the new one.  When launching Tweaker I get the following - Error could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SQLite.dll' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found in fnControlsSetup. If I ignore the message and try to continue, I get a Microsoft .Net Framework error coming up with an unhandled exception. There is the option to continue but the program does nothing when it opens.  Net Framework 4 is showing as installed, is there anything else I need to allow it to run?

Many thanks,

Keith

Welcome.

Is BaseStation running OK on the new PC?

And does the new PC have ".NET Framework 4 Client" installed - see the ReadMe PDF file?

Did you do a fresh install of Mode-S Tweaker on the new PC?  If you did and had no install errors, I assume .Net was already installed.  See Page 2 of the PDF.

And what path have you set for the sqb file?  If BaseStation is in a ProgramFiles location, the active sqb may be in the Virtual Store.

Yes BaseStation is running OK.
Yes, the .NET Framework 4 Client was already installed on the PC.
I've run multiple installs, uninstalls.  I don't get any errors during the installation, only when I attempt to launch the program.
I can't set the path for the SQB file as the program isn't working after I've bypassed the two errors previously mentioned.  I'm not able to open Settings/Reference Files & Folders to put my SQB path in.  The SQB file is in a folder on the root of C:

Try this.

Locate the folder where ModeSTweaker.exe is installed. Check if the folder includes the file:

System.Data.SQLite.dll

If not, copy the dll which I've just emailed you to the folder and then try to launch ModeSTweaker.

The file is already there, do you want me to try overwriting the one sent in the email?

No need to replace the file.

How are you launching ModeSTweaker?  Where is it installed and what other files are in the same folder as the exe?

No need to replace the file.

How are you launching ModeSTweaker?  Where is it installed and what other files are in the same folder as the exe?

It does not matter if I launch it directly from it's own directory or via the icon on the desktop I get the same result.

The path is C:\Apps\MSTweaker

The folder contains 7 files:

ModeS.Tweaker.exe
ModeS.Tweaker.exe.config
MT_Settings.xml
System.Data.SQLite.dll
unins000.dat
unins000.exe
UserGuide.pdf

Can I take a look with you, using a remote session at a convenient time?

That would be great, thanks.

I've sent you a Personal Message to set this up.

I got the same problem, did you get it fixed? If so, how?

I got the same problem, did you get it fixed? If so, how?

Regrettably, we were unable to fix the problem.

I contacted Kelvin Cross, who developed Mode-S Tweaker. and he was sure it was caised by a partial or corrupt install of Windows .NET.  Unfortunately the forum member decided the resolution outweighed the benefits and moved on without Mode-S Tweaker.

I had an earlier example which also appeared to be caused by a .NET issue.  This was resolved by the other member's, an IT programmer.  I'm trying to ascertain how it was fixed.

Kelvin has provided this link which may help:

Thank you Anmer, I hope it will be sorted out so I can run it later, it looks very nice.

Thank you Anmer, I hope it will be sorted out so I can run it later, it looks very nice.

Just to clarify, it's the .NET installation of the user's computer that needs to "sorted".  Not Mode-S Tweaker.

Please check your .NET installation.

Ok, thank you.
