RMIR download from jp1/usb remote problem

Something is not correct in RMIR
Jp1 downloads just do not work for me. Work fine from IR.
I don't know why jp1.x serial is dragged into this error log since I'm downloading from 8910 using Tommy's cable for USB port and using the Delcom driver in WinUSB driver and what looks like correct pid and all that was in the RMIR window for linking the interface

In device manager DelcomProxy is fine. No yellow !
This is frustrating.

I've been through all interface options, clearly Autodetect didn't work, forced jp1 usb which is the correct one, and still no go, error log:

Well, this used to work, but I'm seeing the same behavior here. It seems to me that JP1USB.dll isn't working correctly, but I don't have the source code to check into it.
The dll is loaded successfully, and the interface itself is recognized, but OpenRemote fails-- I don't know why it no longer works.

Maybe parts didn't get compiled
jp1usb.dll in the zip distribution
v1.97 and v1.99b - both dated 3/26/09 -- 512K
v2.00 and v2.01 - both dated 10/5/10 -- 73K

Liz,
Have you tried replacing the v2.00/v2.01 jp1usb.dll with the one from v1.97 or v1.99b? Could just be the copy my build script is picking up got corrupted.

This
post shows that the size difference is expected, and that dlls from 1.97 or 1.99 aren't able to access the Delcom chip via WinUSB.
However, mathdon's 0.3 version did (if I recall correctly) work with RMIR 2.00, and now it seems to not work. Makes me wonder if a Windows or Java update has broken it.

I thought of it when I saw the differences, but I could not determine from my scant notes and 1 error log whether those versions worked then or not. And I gather not from 3fg's subsequent post.
I'm on XP-SP3. Graham tested his, short version, on Win2K.

I run XP-SP3 also, and 0.3 did work with RMIR on my computer. I tested it when it first was released.

I was going to try building jp1usb.dll version 0.03 under MinGW to see if that works any better, but I can't find the source. Anyone know where it is?

My apologies. It seems that I didn't upload the source. I've now done so,
here.
My absence from these forums for the past few months has been the result of personal events, and is likely to continue. I still keep an occasional eye on things, however, and have just seen this thread and noticed my oversight.

I've just done a JP1 download from my URC-8550 with the following setup: RMIR v2.01 Alpha 8, jp1usb v0.03, java version 1.6.0_23, WinUSB driver, interface set to JP1USB with auto-detect, and MS Vista. It worked without any problem. In case it is relevant, I haven't done any Windows updates for some weeks. So unless I misunderstand the problem, I am unable to reproduce it.

Hello Graham,
Thanks for uploading the source. Since I can reproduce the problem, I'll look into it tonight.

Graham, great to see you stopped by
XP here and I, too, did auto-detect in one of many trials.

My java version is 6.0.24. I updated java 2/23/2011.
Last few Windows XP updates were 6/18/2010, 10/8/2010, 12/21/2010, 2/24/11 and 3/20/2011, in case any of it matters.

Using the debugger and attaching to the Java process shows that the call to CreateFile (which opens the USB interface) fails with the error Access Denied. Using jp1usb.dll with a Windows test program does succeed-- at least past the call to CreateFile.
I haven't found a fix yet, but I suspect that the issue is increased security in Windows or Java. Can't let the computer get a virus from our remotes!

Version 0.031 of jp1usb.dll. Replace jp1usb.dll v0.03 in the ..\Windows subdirectory of your RMIR directory.
Liz and oldgrouch,
I hope you'll try this out.
