"Failed to locate API registry entry"
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2015 6:42 pm
Hi,
a few weeks ago I bought the SDRplay RSP, and until now I didn't have the time to set it up.
But yesterday I went to the SDRplay website, downloaded the required items for using HDSDR, and installed them, as follows:
- installed Mirics SDR API and HW Driver
- plugged in the RSP
- installed HDSDR
- ran HDSDR to confirm that the EXTIO button was not active yet
- installed SDRplay EXTIO (into the HDSDR folder, as required)
- ran HDSDR again and got an error message to the effect of "SDR hardware not found"
- uninstalled everything, turned the computer off, and went to work
Today's installation:
- installed Mirics SDR API and HW Driver
- plugged in the RSP
- installed HDSDR
- ran HDSDR to confirm that the EXTIO button was not active yet
- installed SDRplay EXTIO (into the HDSDR folder, as required)
- ran HDSDR again and got an error message "Failed to locate API registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MiricsSDR\Tools Error 127"
- uninstalled everything, used CCleaner to clean the registry, rebooted, re-installed as above
Still getting the "failed to locate API registry entry" error.
My computer: ASUS X205TA with Windows 10
Would appreciate some words of wisdom concerning the installation problems.
