Launcher installed but does not appear in task bar or as an Icon


 

Hello group and Dave.....I have just attempted to install DX Labs on a new Windows 11 machine. I have followed all the directions in the relocating DX Applications from one PC to another. I installed the the Launcher in the destination PC as instructed in Item 4. The launcher appeared and I followed the instructions in item 5. When I terminated the Launcher and tried to copy the relocation folder to the destination PC, it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file. In the error log for the Launcher agent it show version 1.4.8 which is not the correct Launcher version. It also states that the Launcher is running but there is no Launcher in the task bar or shown as an Icon In the Launcher error text log it shows the Launcher agent failed unzip DLL. When I click on the LauncherAgent exec. it show that the Launcher is waiting to terminate.
?
Question: should I delete everything in steps 4 and 5? Where can I find version 1.5 or later to accomplish this task??
?
sigh......

+ What does "it would not show the Launcher workshop folder in the file" mean?

+ Absolutely not! Please wait until I receive the errorlog.txt file so I can determine what's going on.

Hello Dave......After writing to the group I turned the computer off and took a break. When I turned the computer back on I went to the Launcher folder and clicked on the Launcher exec. it loaded the Launcher again and the Relocation backup was in the Workspaces. I checked to see if the files I moved were present in the Relocation backup, they were. I clicked Load the Workspace and Windows gave me hell for changing the registry settings, but finally let me load the Workspaces.? I then loaded the files into the locations in the New PC.?
?
I have not yet connected the new PC to the radio. I have not clicked? restore buttons in the Launcher yet. The Launcher buttons are all red and the Pathways shown in the configuration window of the Launcher show the proper pathways
?
a) should I connect the radio to the PC at this point before I hit the restore button?
?
I have prevented the USB ports from powering down.
?
All the Path names are the same for the installation and its on a single monitor.
?
I think I am at item 12 once the above is accomplished. not sure what I need to do in item 12 but will endeavor to figure that out once I get that far.
?
I am not sure what caused the Launcher issue but I appears to have rectified itself once I clicked on the Launcher Exec. I was also able to get the Launcher pinned to the Task bar so that is good to go now.
I think I am on the right track.....Thank you I am sure that this is not the last time you all will hear from me.....Thank God for this group and your infinite patience.

+ There is no reason to click the Launcher's "Restore" buttons; you've already directed the Launcher to install your DXLab applications.

The Launcher buttons are all red and the Pathways shown in the configuration window of the Launcher show the proper pathways
+ "Red" means "installed but not running", as expected.

+ I suggest that you direct the Launcher to start DXView. If DXView's Main window appears and it runs correctly, then connect your radio to your PC, and direct the Launcher to start Commander. If that works correctly, then proceed with step 12; if you encounter more questions or concerns, don't hesitate to post them here.
