DSDplus FL Windows 11 install errors

[dkcorlfla]

Hi all, been trying to get my new Windows 11 mini computer going with DSDplus FL and ran into an error.

I need to go out and do some yard work and need to take a break from this project but I though somebody has run into this and may have some ideas on how best to resolve.

Where do you have it installed and where are you trying to copy files from? Likely a permissions error. What version of Win11?


Error 0x80004005 might occur due to incorrect file or folder permissions. To fix this, right-click the problematic file or folder, select “Properties,” and then go to the “Security” tab. Click “Edit” to modify permissions and ensure your user account has full control. Apply the changes and close the properties window.

Thanks for the reply, it's Win11 Pro running on a tiny mini computer. I bought it new from Amazon for $100 and it came with the OS per installed. I"m amazed at how well it is dragging Win11 around, it's only a dual core with 8GB ram.

Anyhow, next time I have it up I will check the permissions out as advised above.

Because part of the extraction worked I was thinking Win11 just does not like .bat files but I have not looked into it yet.

I did have trouble making folders so it was extracted in the Download folder. I don't get Windows way of making new folders. I was able to make folders using the CMD prompt for for some reason they do not show on the files explorer.

Have had my DSDPlus sit in a folder right on c drive but now it lives in a OneDrive folder. On win 10 never had an issue extracting the updates anywhere. Not sure what you use but the built in windows extractor is known to cause issues with Fastlane updates. 7 Zip works perfect and have heard Win RAR does to. Neither are products on Microsoft. I would try with either of them and see if you get the same error.

I don't get Windows way of making new folders.

While in File Explorer, go to the directory you want to create a folder, then right click in a clear area within File Explorer, and choose NEW, then Folder and give it a name. That simple.

If you want a new folder on the desktop, go to a clear area, right click, then New then Folder, and give it a name.

Thanks, I had forgotten about 7zip. That's what I used on my Win10 system and did not have any trouble with it. Still have the install on the USB drive. Don't even need to download - DOH!

The clear area is the part I skipped over. Will try again with 7zip and this time put it into it's own directory. The Downloads is not a good place as it's going to get cluttered.

Update - got it going Was not able to fully make a directory by itself and have Windows let me use it to extract into.

I did use the 7zip program to extract the .zip files but had a lot of trouble getting the extraction into any selected folder. Ended up just extracting into the Video folder and each extraction made it's own folder. What a mess! Maybe someone that uses Windows a lot could have sorted this out but I ended up just dragging the files to the DSDplus folder.

It took a lot of effort to get this going but it's going to be worth it as I now have a working SDR setup that I can start from a ssh session on another computer on my VLAN.

BTW - getting Openssh server running on the Windows 11 computer also took a big effort.

The goal was to have a SDR P25 system that I can start from another computer freeing up the monitor, keyboard and quite a lot of space.

The SDR/Win11 computer is currently scanning the Seminole Co P25 and playing the audio on a Bluetooth speaker and is working well.

I'm not sure how well it would work on Windows 11, but on Linux I used Chrome Remote Desktop and set it up to launch at boot, which gave me complete control over a machine I had sitting in my closet that I used for running a few servers. It's not the smoothest experience but it got the job done and it was easy to set up and get running.

At the moment I run two SDRs from my main PC, but I also run a rdio-scanner server so that I can pick up local DMR and p25 on the go with my Iphone.. At home, I have a bluetooth speaker set up next to my old Whistler 1065 which only seems to pick up p25 once in awhile, I think something's wrong with it, but I still use it for analog frequencies.

Here are a couple of screen shots showing what the ssh session looks like from a Ubuntu Linux terminal. Take a look at the to gray bar - while basic there is some info showing up.

The next thing I want to add to the Windows 11 mini computer is a Bluetooth keyboard. That way I can stow it on a shelf when not in use and free up some desk space.

BTW - the mini PC is hooked up to the VGA port on the monitor it shares with my main Fedora Workstation. All I have to do to switch between is put one to sleep and then the monitor automatically switches to the other.

I use Chrome Remote to control the laptop I have SDRTrunk running on when at home and when on the road. Works Great!

I use Chrome RDT as well for SDRTrunk as well as several Whistler/GRE and Uniden scanners on a mini-PC with no issues.

I use Team Viewer and or Real VNC (have both installed) to connect to Raspberry Pi and 2 headless Windows towers.

I will review the system requirements for the two remote programs and see if it might work on limited bandwidth (WiFi 2.4 abt 60Mbps)

A couple tips Windows-wise....Ctrl+Shift+n will make a new folder in whatever directory you are in. That also lets you name it immediately.

7z...this is only really useful if the directory does not exsist.....right click and extract files....use the file location path to edit the folder destination, not the file tree. The dir will be created if it does not exsist.

Hopefully all of that is still true in Win11!! I havent done it yet

Thanks for the tips, just tried it on Win11 and found it works if you are already in one of the pre made directories like Documents or Music Ect.

I was not able to get it to work from the home director - wanted to make a directory named Proscan and have it show next to the Documents folder not in it but windows would not have it.

You're best bet with DSDplus is just to either create a folder on the desktop or in the root of the drive (c:\dsdsplus for example). Certain directory structures pre-made by windows have file permissions on them that will prohibit proper operation.

I always avoid putting DSDplus in paths like c:\users\* or c:\program files\* or c:\program files (x86)\*

7 Zip works perfect and have heard Win RAR does to.

I've used WinRar for decades, never had an issue with FastLane updates. It also gives you an option to autofill your FastLane password which you need to extract the update files

I do not like a cluttered desktop so that's why I was trying to install someplace else. Ended up extracting to Music and it's working fine when started by clicking on the BAT files I made.

Did have issues running from the CMD prompt so I'm going to give up on using a ssh session to start from another computer.

Having the mini PC hooked up to the VGA port on the monitor is actually working very well - way better then trying to run Windows program from Wine on Linux or using a dual boot.

Just keep in mind that if you put it in some funky folder, and then go on to edit default batch files -- down the road if you run into issues with DSDPlus, those trying to help you out are going to run into issues helping you because (a) they can't assume you are using default batch files and (b) they don't know the working directory that DSDPlus is in. So, if you have further issues with DSDplus (not decoding something, how do i do this, etc), you'll want to make sure and post information about your custom setup and batch file contents.

In general, by default, with one dongle it is expected that people will be running FMP*-CC.bat and 1R.bat. Given that you have edited batch files and we don't know what batch files you have edited or are executing, that can throw off anyone trying to assist you in the future. So just make sure you include all of that relevant information up front if you make a new post about an issue.
