ds30 Loader errors

November 20, 2010, 05:38:20 am

Has anyone encountered errors when running ds30 laoder under Win 7 64bit?  When I run the loader, I get an open file security dialog.  Clicking run results in windows returning immediately with a dialog box stating "ds Loader has stopped working".  Same results when I run the file as administrator.

Any ideas?

Hi Tom,

This is the first report of this bug so far, there could be more in store Has it been happening for a while, or is it a bug in a specific release?

Ian, first time I've tried to update with Win7/64.  I've successfully done it many times under XPSP3/32.  I've set compatibility mode to XPSP3, turned on all compatibility settings, and set run as administrator and I still get the "ds loader has stopped working" message immediately after selecting yes in the UAC dialog.

Thanks for your help.

Tom

ds30 Loader is a .net app, maybe a simpler console app like pirate loader will work better:

The author of ds30 Loader also has an updated version that (might) work with our current bootloader and firmware. You could try that too.
