nDroid v1.3.x (Beta) support thread

[bgowland]

I've uploaded v1.3 of the nDroid client and nDroidService components to the nDroid wiki page

I'll try and detail changes later when I can remember them but they include...

• Installer for the nDroidService (please see post #2 for uninstalling previous version)
  
• Primitive 'Now Showing' page (all shows, current time-slot) - NOTE, attempting to set recordings from this will fail.
  
• Early start to 'Status' page - general info, currently limited to software versions and last download dates
  
• Re-sizing of buttons on dialogs to make them easier to use (much more work needed for the UI elements)
  
• Loads of low-level stuff I can't remember
  
• Added a touch of colour

It's important to uninstall v1.1.x of nDroidService when upgrading to v1.3

1. Find the folder where nDroidService is installed
   
2. Run UninstallService.bat
   
3. Check 'Services' to make sure it has been uninstalled before proceeding with the v 1.3 install

After the above, the folder containing the v1.1 installation can be safely deleted.

Just thought I'd throw it in there for a touch of colour.

Similar to the last update, I've been concentrating on stability and it's hopefully better.

I needed to get this release out so I could sit back for a moment to think about various wishes/comments. Just one more step and I'll be able to focus properly.

bgowland,

Installing the service with no problem but it will not start. I am getting the following error when trying to start it from a CMD window:

Code:

System error 193 has occurred.
*** is not a valid Win32 application.

And the following error when starting from services.msc:

Code:

Could not start the nDroid Service on local computer
Error 193: 0xc1

Any thoughts?

Can you zip and attach the log files. They're now located in a separate folder to the program files...

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Beetec Services\nDroid Service\logs (for XP)
C:\Users\public\Beetec Services\nDroid Service\logs (for Vista and Windows 7)

Hmm, not sure. The service is starting but seems to drop out without logging an error. Are there any entries in your Windows Application log?

Only thing logged is under Event Viewer\System where I get an error for everytime I am trying to start the service.

Code:

The nDroid Service service failed to start due to the following error:
nDroid Service is not a valid Win32 application.

Which is the same as before.

Did you make sure that you uninstalled the previous version of the service (as described in post #2 of ths thread)?

Open a command prompt and try running...

Code:

sc qc "nDroid Service"

...then post what the result is.
