RMIR V2.02a "No remotes found". IR works OK.

My (four discrete transistor) serial-port interface cable works fine with IR, but not with RMIR v2.02a.

The only items available form the RMIR "Remote" drop-down menus are Raw Download and Verify After Upload.

When I try a Raw Download, I get the error statement "No remotes found."

Sigh. Any suggestions?

Even with no interface connected to the computer, RMIR 2.02a should display Interface, Download From Remote, Raw Download, and Verify Upload as active. If you don't see all of those available, then either the installation is incorrect or some other version of RMIR is actually being run.

In the RMIR installation directory, you should find the file rmaster.err. Upload that file to the diagnosis area here. Do make sure that the file has a current date and time.

Thank you. File posted. (Just in case the link does not work, I posted the file under the same title as this e-mail string: RMIR V2.01a....)

Well, here's the relevant section of rmaster.err:

Code: Select all

libraryFolder=C:\Program Files\Remote Master Beta\Windows-x86
Loading C:\Program Files\Remote Master Beta\Windows-x86\jp12serial.dll
Unable to create JP12Serial object: Can't load library: C:\Program Files\Remote Master Beta\Windows-x86\jp12serial.dll

Please check to see if these dlls are in the Window-x86 folder. Have you run Setup.vbs?

Ran Setup.vbs and it didn't create that subdirectory. I manually created it and added the files. RMIR is working OK now. Thanks!

The directories should be created when you unzip the distribution. Perhaps your unzip utility isn't doing that--most have an option to not create subdirectories, although it is usually a poor idea to invoke that option.

Setup.vbs associates file types, crreates shortcuts, and tries to locate your Java distribution.

I had to create this directory and move the files there as well after a recent Java update.. The directory name had changed? Not in front of the computer right now and don't remember the details.

Yes, the directory names for these files changed around the end of last year, when Greg added support for 64-bit Java to RMIR. Previously there was just a "Windows" subfolder of the installation folder, but now there are two, "Windows-x86" and "Windows-amd64" for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the dll's.
