Mode-S Tweaker

[Roadrunner]

Having just changed my Windows 10 PC for a newer windows 11 machine, I am finding that despite having the latest . Net files I am now unable to get beyond the error message as shown on the attached document. my Old PC ran the program with no problems

Have any further ideas on a fix for  this come to light?

I hate not being able to use Mode S Tweaker now

Hi Mike

That's the same message I saw with another member and Kelvin (ModeS Tweaker author) couldn't find a solution.

Mike,

Do we know if it is only people with laptops, or like me an all-in-one PC that act like a very large laptop, that are getting this error?

I am no computer expert by any means but the reference to fncontrolsetup  reference refers to the fan speed controls and info on it mentions laptops....

also, is there a later version of the System.Data.SQLite.dll file as the one used is dated 2014.

My PC is an ASUS all-in-one and came with Windows 10 and has subsequently been upgraded to 11, and the error was found on Both versions of windows

It is very frustrating as I found Mode S Tweaker to be a most useul addon that I used almost every day.

Hi Mike

I've seen three instances of this type of problem, all of which appear to be .Net related following a recent install/upgrade/update of Windows.  I don't recall the PC type, laptop or desktop.

This is how Kelvin "egnx" responded the last time:

This is an install error with the .Net framework which needs to be corrected, not an easy job. A link I found with the exact same issue is here:- https://sqlite.org/forum/info/2a501c6b828d786e

The end result of the thread being:-



It sounds from that it needs a Win10 repair, which obviously needs to be considered carefully.

Sorry I can't be anymore help with this. I see there have been over a hundred downloads of this, so I guess it is a somewhat rare occurance, but that is not much solice to the person who has the failed install.

If you think I can be of any further help please ask.

I spent a considerable amount of time with both members trying to resolve the issue, following Kelvin's advice, all to no avail.

In both instances, the latest version of .Net was installed, the same as mine and Kelvin's.  But Tweaker failed to load and the same error message appeared. 

As the Mode-S Tweaker developer, we really need Kelvin to investigate further.  Only he knows how Tweaker should work and what it needs.

Thanks Mike,

I use a program called CCcleaner which allows me to clean up leftover files and paths incorrect details and it did show a few that were left over and not doing anything. I ran the cleaner and it cleared them all out but tweaker still will not run. There is a function to produce a dump file and I ran it result is a file  Modes.tweaker.dmp of what is going on and I have done one and it is 278,000+ kb in size. no idea how to look at it but wondered if in the hands of an expert who knows about such thnings whetherit would throw some light on the subject. I'm sure Kelvin already knows about this facility.
Clutching at straws actually

Hi Mike

Personally, I stay well clear of "cleaning" utilities.  I found they caused more problems than they solved.

Kelvin has seen this post and has suggested somthing else to try:

Hi Mike,
I see there has been a new problem with using Mode-S Tweaker on a Win11 machine, and the problem as you mentioned seems to be the same as that seen previously.

I have had a further look at this and it may be that it is related to the "System.Data.SQLite.dll" that also requires MS Visual C++ runtime libraries.

I have seen a resolution mentioned on StackOverflow that states to include the msvcr100.dll in the same folder as the installed app. This might be worth trying, you can get a copy of this file from here:- http://aerofred.juice.org.uk/other/msvcr100.zip

If that doesn't work you can get the latest version of the MS Visual C++ runtime libraries from here:-
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-GB/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170  in the section "Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022" and it would be the  X86 version needed.

Pleae note that the reference to "fnControlsSetup" in the error message relates to the function in my code where the error occurs and has nothing to do with fan speed controls.

Hi Mike,

Just to say that CCcleaner never caused a problem with Tweaker on my Windows 10 pc. It was only when I transferred yo the ASUS Windows 10 machine that it failed to work.
That situation did not improve when i upgraded to W11.

I have tried both options from the info you sent, even switching my PC off after install and rebooting with no change in the status message I get on sking Tweaker to run. deleted previous downloads of Tweaker and ran from the source given in the message and as that did not work I tried the second option letting that download rto my PC, again with no change.

Best Regards

Mike

I can't offer a solution but can offer that my ModeS Tweaker works fine on my W11 laptop, which was an upgrade from W10.  I've not done anything other than follow the standard upgrade path.

By co-incidence it is also an Asus laptop, but there's no logical reason to suspect that the brand of laptop would have any bearing.

So it's not a W11 issue, or an Asus laptop issue.

I'm sorry none of my suggestions have fixed your problem Mike, and at the moment I have nothing else to suggest.

It's frustrating because it's a configuration fault somewhere, that isn't present on any of my machines, thus making finding the solution that much harder.

Thanks guys.

Will have to live with it for now.

The PC I am now using is an all in one ASUS Viva V421EA, intel i7 chip, 237gb on board 8mb RAM and a hard disk of 1tb.

Later today I will try a copy of Mode S Tweaker on my Dell laptop as I keep a copy of Basestation on that with all the files that Tweaker would need present

If it runs there at least I could check what's missing on my database and sort it.....

Thanks or your help

I have created a new test version of Mode-S Tweaker that uses a different version of System.Data.SQLite.dll that is not reliant on the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library.

Download the zip file from here:- http://aerofred.juice.org.uk/other/MSTweaker_test_20211129.zip

Extract the "aReadMe_test_install.txt" file from the zip file and follow the contained instructions.

Let us know if you are then able to use the app.

Hi there,

I can confirm that I followed your instruction's and all is now running properly.

Thank you for the time and effort put into solving this problem, it is very much appreciated.

Best regards

I can confirm that I followed your instruction's and all is now running properly.

That's great news and Thank You EGNX for finding a solution.

[Anmer]

Just for completeness, I downloaded the "test" version and it works just fine on my desktop running Windows 10.

Mike,

That is good news all round.

My new PC is now successfully running BaseStation, Plane Plotter as a GS. Tweaker and Plane Base so one very very happy guy here.

The assistance we all get from the programmers of the add ons ND THE EXPERIENCE AVAILABLE VIA this forum is truly great

Thanks to everyone that takes part.

Mike
