CMXv4 .NET8 Windows 10

[Dador]

Okay, I've made progress.
I installed version 8.0.0 and something happened.

Code: Select all

PS C:\Windows\system32> cd c:\CumulusMXv4
PS C:\CumulusMXv4> SET DOTNET_DbgEnableMiniDump=1
>> SET DOTNET_DbgMiniDumpType=1
>> SET DOTNET_DbgMiniDumpName=C:\CumulusMXv4\coredump.CMX
>> .\CumulusMX.exe
Cumulus MX v.4.0.0 build 4017
Working Dir: C:\CumulusMXv4\
Cumulus is already running - terminating
Program exit
Cumulus terminating
Cumulus stopped
PS C:\CumulusMXv4>

A Uniqueld.txt file with the contents was created in the cumulus folder

Currently, CMXv4 starts, but then shuts down.
At least, that's something

Edit:
I tested versions 8.0.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2 and CMXv4 starts and then turns off. Version 8.0.3 causes fatal error.

Could you post the corresponding MXdiags logfile?
And possibly also the coredump? Thnx.

[Dador]

My God,
works Finaly

It's all because of the automatically downloaded version 8.0.3, which caused an error. I'm currently running on 8.0.2.

So much writing and fiddling.
Time to open a beer.
Thanks gentlemen for your help.

Ehh...

Interesting as I checked the version of .NET I have installed from the Microsoft repository I use for installing on openSUSE Leap 15.5 shows only v8.0.2 so I do wonder if there is a problem with v8.0.3 on Linux? I'll keep an eye on that and see if/when it changes to v8.0.3.

Hello.
I have a question about running CMX4 on Windows 10 too.

Is it possible that CMX4 doesn't work on a 32 bit system?

I have an old laptop too. It has a 64-bit processor, but a 32-bit system was installed.
When I run the program, I get an answer that the program does not work on this system.

Go to the page:

and click on the link as in the picture.

The installer will download and install like a regular program.
If that doesn't help, try version 8.0.4 or lower.
If you read the thread, you know that for me only one version caused an error.

[lasybird]

It still doesn't work. I think I will have to install the 64 bit version of windows because I have a 64 bit processor, but a 32 bit windows system.

[Dador]

Of course, this is one option. Rebuilding the system is sometimes the best idea.

Have you tried running CMXv4 in compatibility mode?

[lasybird]

Yes, I tried it on windows 10 64 bit system and it works without any problem.
I will obviously have to reinstall windows.

[mcrossley]

Hmm, Cumulus MX is compiled as "Any CPU" which means it will run on both 32 and 64 bit systems. Most Raspberry Pi's it runs on are probably running the 32 bit OS.

[mcrossley]

Could you try running CMX using the command line...

Code: Select all

dotnet CumulusMX.dll

And see if that works?

[lasybird]

Very strange. If I run cumulusmx with the command "cumulusmx4.exe" I get the following output ( in cmd):
"This version of C:\CumulusMXv4\CumulusMX.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information and then contact the software publisher."


When i use powershell i get:

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

PS C:\> cd cumulusmxv4
PS C:\cumulusmxv4> dotnet cumulusmx.dll

I dont understand anymore. Does this mean it works?

Does this mean I have to do everything in powershell? I mean data transfer and so on?
How do I start the program then? In the previous version, the program started by itself, because I put a shortcut to the exe file in the startup.

Sometimes it happens that the computer restarts itself, and that's how the Cumulus program started by itself and started working.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, that shows Cumulus MX is running.
I hadn't realised before, but the CumulusMX.exe is a 64bit only program, it is a limitation of .NET Core and later. Version 3 used .Net Framework that created a .exe that would run on both 32 and 64 bit. Because of this you must run the CumulusMX.dll directly using the dotnet executable (which is in effect what the Cumulus.exe does in the background).

Does this mean I have to do everything in powershell? I mean data transfer and so on?
How do I start the program then? In the previous version, the program started by itself, because I put a shortcut to the exe file in the startup.

You can use PowerShell or the cmd prompt either will work.
I'm not sure what you mean by "data transfer", with MX running as above it will transfer the data from your station once you have configured it.
You can start it the same way was you did v3 if you like. Create a shortcut in the start-up folder that includes the command line you used above

[lasybird]

Thank u.

Are you going to make CumulusMX.exe compatible with 32 bit system? Also, MigrateData3to4.exe does not work on a 32-bit system.

Does this mean that because of .NET 8, CumulusMX.exe will no longer work on a 32 bit system?


I tried running the program in CMD prompt several times but it doesn't work, work only in Powershell. So i cant create a shortcut in the start - up folder.

Thanks.
