I just migrated from an older Windows 7 System to a newer but still not very new Dell Inspiron 15 7537 laptop.

All my installs, so far, (WSJTX, N1MM, DXLab suite, notepad++) have installed and run fine.

So, I downloaded?setupreantscope2-1.3.0.exe from RigExpert support site and, after install, I see this message:

The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCP140.dll was not found.? Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.? ?You can see the system error on the screen at this virus free google photo link:



I did uninstall and re-install and, again, received the same error.? ?

I own the AA-54 bought ages ago (and most of my club now owns RigExpert stuff) which is a completely awesome tool and hope to be able to get Antscope, which is equally powerful, running on my Win 10 system.? I also have another Win laptop, newer, that I installed and Antscope ran fine.? It was year ago and I don't remember which version.? If I have to I might be able to migrate that and try it.? But, I hope to get this new version running.? .? ?

Any thoughts or feedback would be welcome.? ?Thank you.??

Rick, I do think I have the old software, however, I am running my old AA-54 on another Win 10 computer with Antscope 2.? ?I also ran the AA-54 on my old Windows 7 system with Antscope 2.? ?

Perhaps I installed something that I forgot to install now.? Let me look at the old disk.??

However, I was not trying to connect to the AA-54.? I was just running the software before I even tried to hook up the AA-54.? ?RigExpert software, as I recall, launched with or without access to the instrument.? Is that correct?

Thank you.??

Rick,

Good questions all:

So, I uninstalled antscope2-1.3.0 and dropped back to the version I had installed on Windows in June for Field Day, v.1.2.6 which had worked with my AA-54.

I just finished installed that along with the program that came on the CD for the AA-54,?cdm20824_setup-4.exe, (FTDI drivers to generate a COM port from a USB device).??

I checked device manager and it showed COM4 for the AA-54.? ?Then, I installed Antscope2 v.1.2.6 and opened it, went into Settings in the lower left, selected COM4 and boom.? Antscope2 not only launched but it connected!? ?I then scanned my 80m OCF successfully.

You can see the entire result including the graph at the virus free google photo link below.? In the upper left of the graph, you can clearly see that I am connected to Antscope 2 with the AA-54.



However, none of this is possible with Antscope2-1.3.0 because of the missing .dll (I think).? It will not launch.? ?At least for me.? ?

Thanks for your good responses Rick.? ?I think you can use the version of??Antscope2 v.1.2.6 as well.? You do have to install the FTDI drivers that enable generation of the COM port from the CD, cdm20824_setup-4.exe.? Once they are installed, and you might have to restart, check device manager to see if the COM Port has been generated.? If you only have one, then, just select that COM port in antscope, connect your AA-54 with a usb cable and you will see Antscope2 connect!

Unfortunately, for this first scan, I did not have the bands for America set.? I just did that, but, I will just leave the original image there.? ?

Rick,

Thanks for the pointer.? I just did change it.

Question, can I customize the bars that show the band zones?? ?The are currently gray, but, I would like to change them to a different color?

Thanks Rick.

Also,

Rick,

I am glad you have the AA-54 up and running on Antscope 2.??

Now, I could change the band designation bars that are gray from a color wheel that would be great!
