Upgrade to ARC Pro
ARC Pro is your gateway to a community of like-minded robot enthusiasts and professionals, all united by a passion for advanced robot programming.
It shouldn't matter which bit CPU. The software is forced to 32 bit for speed. I haven't had any other reports of that issue. Difficult to diagnose
Seems to work fine for me.
What version of .NET Framework are you guys running? Also having an issue with the shortcut creation. Going to try and Uninstall ARC and .NET Framework. Then install .NET Framework and ARC. My system is pretty barebones built it to be dedicated so the problem seems to be a missing peice of software.
Did the above ran all the updates for .NET and still no luck. Do you guys have visual studio installed? Thats the only thing left I can think of that is missing
I don't have visual studio installed. But, the update is running fine.
Our testing machines do not have visual studio.
Are you windows 7 or xp? 64 or 32? Latest .Net framework?
OK, So here is what I have done.
I have installed a clean copy of Windows 7 Enterprise 64 Installed needed drivers Ran Windows update until none were left to find Rebooted Ran Update check to make sure no updates were available Downloaded and Installed .NET Framework 4 Rebooted Ran Updates again till none left Rebooted Checked for updates again to make sure none were available Downloaded ARC 2012.08.14.00 and installed it Went to C:\Program Files (x86)\EZ-Robot\ARC Installer and set compatilbility to run as administrator for all users Rebooted Launched ARC built a test project with 2 servos and saved the project Tried to create shortcut using the shortcut creator under the file menu
It did not work and I received the error below, I also did the same thing as above using windows 7 Enterprise 32. I have also tried it on my main desktop running Win 7 Ent 64 that stays fully updated and is also running the visual studio 2010 same error.
Is there a way that I can just create my own shortcut using switches, or possible a .cmd or .bat file?
Mainly just need to know the switches if there are any.
