Is Windows 7 supported?

[secretofthesteel]

Hi,
I know that you say that only Windows 10 is supported but I don't have such system. Only Windows 7 Pro. i installed you app but when I run it throws this error:

Would you tell me if it's because I have wrong Windows version or the reason is different and its possible to fix it?

Regards,
TG

Hello @secretofthesteel!
I'm sorry to see that you have came across any problems.

I can confirm that the application runs fine on Windows 7 (as well as on 8, 8.1). The only know issue on Windows 7 is different look (some graphical icons are missing...). We've tested the application on clean install of Windows 7 as well as a machine that is 'normally used'.

We're unsure what the problem really is, but we've got a few guesses. In order to help you we need some more info:

1. Just to confirm - have you modified the application files in any way?
2. Could you show us a result of following command in cmd:

powershell -NoProfile -command "cmd /c where msvc*.dll| Get-ChildItem | select -ExpandProperty VersionInfo | ft -AutoSize"

It should show us which versions of msvc*.dll files are present in your os.

Regards,
Michal

Oh, I almost forgot to say that files are not modified.

Greetings,
if it can be of any help, I see exactly the same problem on my updated Win 10 Pro 64bit PC.
The credentials procedure completed perfectly. I plug in the RTL-SDR, select signal source "RTL-SDR" and "Run source" and then I get this pop-up.
No files were changed in the installation

After closing the pop-up I get this dialog:

After selecting "OK" the PWsat2 app starts and shows a waterfall but the waterfall does not show anything meaningfull, I guess no data is received from RTL-SDR.

Other hints:
Doppler correction using GPredict 2.2.1 also works, the PWsat2 app adjusts frequency as expected.
The RTL-SDR works flawless with SDR#.
