Webradio 2.1.0 on Win 7 Problem

[mikeh49]

Can't get it to work on my Win7 install. Error log snippet below:

got it working on my XP box, and tried to move menus/favorites to the Win7 box, but no-go.

Is this a UAC issue?

Thanks for the help.

If this is a new install is it possible you haven't set the locale http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windo...em-locale?

It's aboot a month old, but I'll check the locale as you suggest. Perhaps a Canadian-American thing?

[mvallevand]

Possibly, in the sense that one of the first things I do is make sure that my locale is correct so that short dates are "correct"

Martin

[mikeh49]

Locale was English (US), but reselected it anyway and still no work. I didn't check the logs, but assume it's the same error. The behavior on selecting Web Radio is a "blink" and then return to the menu.

Unfortunately GBPVR is not installed on my Win 7 machine so I cannot test this further sorry. It is running on my Vista and XP systems, and Web Radio 3.2 (the current version) is running with NPVR on my Win 7 (64) system. Sorry hopefully other Win 7 Web Radio users will be able to provide you some guidance.

Seem to be a Windows 7 thing, where they handle region/locale/culture differently than XP.

The reason that the behavior changed with Win7 is that in Win7, the Invariant Culture is considered to be an installed culture as returned by IsValidLocale(0x7f, LCID_INSTALLED). You can also see this property on the Invariant culture (culture.CultureTypes & CultureTypes.InstalledWin32Cultures).

The Invariant culture is normally included with NeutralCultures enumerations. It is also specifically excluded from SpecificCulture enumerations. However, there is no attempt to remove it from the InstalledWin32Cultures enumeration and since CultureTypes.AllCultures == CultureTypes.NeturalCultures | CultureTypes.SpecificCultures | CultureTypes.InstalledWin32Cultures, the InvariantCulture is showing up as one of the InstalledWin32Cultures.

Maybe there's an easy fix? (I'm not quite ready for NPVR yet.)

Anybody have WebRadio working on Win7?

[mvallevand]

@mikeh49, what is the date of your webradio.dll file? It works ok for me on Win7, looking at the source I even see that your error message on 0x7F doesn't make sense because I do exclude it.

Martin

[mikeh49]

The webradio.dll file is 6/26/10 (or perhaps 6/28/10, forgot when walking from one room to another). In the properties, it says the version is 2.0.0.0, if that helps.

I downloaded the 2.1 base installer, I never used mixman's version on this machine. I'm running 12/30/09 successfully on my XP box.

[mvallevand]

That date is certainly wrong, maybe you copied an old version in which mess up the dates. I'd delete it and run the installer again.
