Great, thank you so much for getting to the bottom of this issue. I will get this workaround to my customer and let him know that a permanent fix will be available in 2020.3.

Best Regards,

Hello,

I have found the problem. We are including (and also instructing the users to install if necessary) a wrong version of Visual C++ libraries. We will fix this in the upcoming version (2020.3). Until then, there is a simple workaround:

1. Visit support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads .
2. Scroll down to find the heading "Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019".
3. In that paragraph, if you are on 32-bit machine, download and install x86: vc_redist.x86.exe . If you are on a 64-bit machine, install the previous as well, and *also* download and install x64: vc_redist.x64.exe .

Best regards

G.,

no need to pursue the VM way. I managed to reproduce the problem!
It seems that the distinguishing factor is whether Visual Studio is installed or not. When it is not installed, the problem manifests itself. I have not discovered this earlier because I normally use baseline VM images that already have Visual Studio in them.

So, I will now investigate on my side.

Thank you,
and best regards

Z.

Thank you. I have downloaded the file, but I am afraid something might still be missing. Maybe the snapshot file(s), as the message suggests? I am getting:
The file specified is not a virtual disk
 
Cannot open the disk 'D:\TechSupport\2933\Windows10-1903-flat.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
 
Module 'Disk' power on failed.
 
Failed to start the virtual machine.

Hello,

I have shared a zipped folder with you through Dropbox at the email address you shared. The folder contains the VMX and VMDK files. Please let me know if you need anything else.

Initially, I did install 5.58.146.1 first and then 5.58.151.1 over it because that is what my customer did and this replicated the issue, but this morning I rolled back the VM to factory default and installed just 5.58.151.1 and the issue was replicated.

Regards,
GK

Hello,
it is very good that you have it reproduced in a VMWare VM.
You can use dropbox and email to support09 (at) opclabs.com, or I can open an FTP server for you.

But, I have spotted something in your text: Is this only only happening if you install 5.58.146.1 first? That is, you actually *had* to do it, otherwise you wouldn't be able reproduce it? But, installing 5.58.151.1 on a fresh VM would work fine?

If so, it might be an installation issue, which would direct me in looking for the cause. And, it would explain why I was not able to reproduce it - because I do not normally bother installing older builds first.

Kind regards

Hello,

I have now replicated this issue with 5.58.151.1 on a VM. I used VMware. Is it just the VMX and VMDK files that you'll need? I will try to upload it to a dropbox account. Is there an email address I can send the link to?

I replicated this by installing 5.58.146.1 to a fresh Windows 10 (10.0.18362) install. This had the issue, as expected. Then I installed 5.58.151.1 over it and the issue remains.

Thanks,
GK

Hello.
There was an issue in that specific build ( 5.58.146.1) that has been fixed.

Interestingly, I have another customer (but just one) who is reporting the same or similar issue. He is very cooperative, but I still was not able to reproduce it. I even installed the precise Windows version he had. He then tried to deliver VM image (manifesting the problem) to me, but this has failed as I only have Microsoft and VMware virtualization software, and he was using something different which in the could not have been imported.

So, I can try to reproduce on the Windows the customer has, but I am afraid it won't show either.

Can you yourself reproduce it? Can you, or the customer, provide a VM image (in Microsoft or VMWare formats) with the problem?

Regards

EasyDAClient Exception in Connectivity Explorer was created by gkalipershad
Hello,

I have a customer who was using 5.58.146.1 and encountering the following error every time the Connectivity Explorer is run:

The type initializer "OpcLabs.EasyOpc.DataAccess.EasyDAClient" threw an exception.

I saw in another forum post that this was resolved already, so I had them install 5.58.151.1; however, the issue still exists. I have attached some screenshots from the Event Viewer that were thrown along with the error.

I am waiting to hear back on what the OS version and installed .NET Frameworks are, but wanted to go ahead and get this posted.

Thanks,
GK
