I have successfully installed and run SDR# 1756 on Windows 10 64 bit computer. Would like to add one plugin (DSD Decoder) and followed the procedure I have in the past i.e. add the magic line to the plugins.xml file and place the .dll in the SDR# folder. I get the following error message:

************* Exception Text **************

Post the data from your plugins.xml for us to try and see what might be causing the issue.

The plugins.xml I used was the one that came with version 1756 to which I added the DSD value key (in bold):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<sharpPlugins>
<add key="AF DNR" value="SDRSharp.DNR.AFNoiseReductionPlugin,SDRSharp.DNR" />
<add key="IF DNR" value="SDRSharp.DNR.IFNoiseReductionPlugin,SDRSharp.DNR" />
<add key="Baseband Noise Blanker" value="SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker.BasebandNoiseBlankerPlugin,SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker" />
<add key="IF Noise Blanker" value="SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker.IFNoiseBlankerPlugin,SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker" />
<add key="Demodulator Noise Blanker" value="SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker.DemodulatorNoiseBlankerPlugin,SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker" />
<add key="Wave Recorder" value="SDRSharp.WavRecorder.WavRecorderPlugin,SDRSharp.WavRecorder" />
<add key="Zoom FFT" value="SDRSharp.ZoomFFT.ZoomFFTPlugin,SDRSharp.ZoomFFT" />
<add key="Band Plan" value="SDRSharp.BandPlan.BandPlanPlugin,SDRSharp.BandPlan" />
<add key="Frequency Manager" value="SDRSharp.FrequencyManager.FrequencyManagerPlugin,SDRSharp.FrequencyManager" />
<add key="Signal Diagnostics" value="SDRSharp.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsPlugin,SDRSharp.Diagnostics" />
<add key="DSD" value="SDRSharp.DSD.DSDPlugin,SDRSharp.DSD"/>
</sharpPlugins>

I also tried this with an added key:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<sharpPlugins>
<add key="AF DNR" value="SDRSharp.DNR.AFNoiseReductionPlugin,SDRSharp.DNR" />
<add key="IF DNR" value="SDRSharp.DNR.IFNoiseReductionPlugin,SDRSharp.DNR" />
<add key="Baseband Noise Blanker" value="SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker.BasebandNoiseBlankerPlugin,SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker" />
<add key="IF Noise Blanker" value="SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker.IFNoiseBlankerPlugin,SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker" />
<add key="Demodulator Noise Blanker" value="SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker.DemodulatorNoiseBlankerPlugin,SDRSharp.NoiseBlanker" />
<add key="Wave Recorder" value="SDRSharp.WavRecorder.WavRecorderPlugin,SDRSharp.WavRecorder" />
<add key="Zoom FFT" value="SDRSharp.ZoomFFT.ZoomFFTPlugin,SDRSharp.ZoomFFT" />
<add key="Band Plan" value="SDRSharp.BandPlan.BandPlanPlugin,SDRSharp.BandPlan" />
<add key="Frequency Manager" value="SDRSharp.FrequencyManager.FrequencyManagerPlugin,SDRSharp.FrequencyManager" />
<add key="Signal Diagnostics" value="SDRSharp.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsPlugin,SDRSharp.Diagnostics" />
<add key="DSD" value="SDRSharp.DSD.DSDPlugin,SDRSharp.DSD"/>
<add key="DSDtcp" value="SDRSharp.DSDtcp.DSDtcpPlugin,SDRSharp.DSDtcp"/>

</sharpPlugins>

I never had problems with adding plugins before. Previously I had version 1732 runnning with several plugins so I thought it might have something to do with the newest SDR# versions. I did a fresh install of 1732 and ran into the same problem. I also tried the latest Community package with the plugins built in but that won't run either.

Try adding a space after the last quotation mark:
<add key="DSD" value="SDRSharp.DSD.DSDPlugin,SDRSharp.DSD" />

Made that change and it allowed 1756 to run but the DSD plug in did not appear.
Tried it in 1732 and still could not run the program.

That would suggest you haven't put the .dll into the sdrsharp directory (or you have changed the dll name)

Note. All the plugin initialisation lines have that space which is why it is usually suggested that copy/paste is used to insert the line.

That was the first thing I checked. The .dll is there and name is correct.
BTW, after following Matt's suggestion about adding the space after the last quotation marks, I took a look at the plugins.xml file that downloaded with the Community version of 1756 and see there is no space in any of the lines. When I have moment, I'll download a new copy and see if that is true again and if the program still won't start. If so, I'll try adding the space in all the lines and see if that makes a difference.

Matt,
That was the problem! I have DSD installed elsewhere and forgot to change the path in SDR# so it points to it.
Thanks.
Now that that problem is solved, I’ll go get myself into more trouble trying to see if I can install the Community version of SDR# :)
