SigmaStudio 3.3 Installation Issues
After running the installer as admin and selecting "Install for everyone" I get the following error when attempting to start SigmaStudio as a non-administrative user from either the desktop or start menu shortcut:
Error 1001: Exception occurred while initializing the installation:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\WINDOWS\system32\Files\Analog' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
The same occurs with the shortcut for the help. Best workaround appears to be to invoke the shortcuts as an admin but this only works if they've never been used a non-admin---once they've been clicked as non-admin shift clicking and selecting run as invokes the installer as non-admin, resulting in the error above. Unlike 3.1, running SStudio.exe directly results in a crash because C:\Program Files\Analog Devices\Sigma Studio 3.3 is not ACLed for non-admin access. And fixing the ACLs leads to follow on problems like an instance of SigmaStudio that you can't really do much with since the device list is not populated.
Net result is 3.3 has to be run from an admin logon rather than a non-admin logon. In my case this regression from 3.1 isn't a big deal but it is a mildly annoying hassle. If 3.4 could support non-admin use again I would appreciate the convenience.
Thanks for the report. I haven't seen this issue before. Our machines all have us logged in with admin privileges by default, so non-admin installations do not get the same amount of bug-testing. I have forwarded your post directly to the software team and I will respond back on this thread if they have a comment.
Could you please let me know the details of your operating system, including service packs?
XP SP3 32 bit. I'll check on Win7 SP1 64 bit if I get the chance.
Hit a couple issues in the parametric equalzier control as well:
After the control's initially populated with filters and the design saved, exit and restart SigmaStudio and return to change the equalizer settings. The first edit to filter number 4 or higher throws an IndexOutOfRange exception.
Adding the 16th filter throws an IndexOutOfRangeException.
Thanks for reporting that. I was able to duplicate issue number 2 but I could not duplicate issue number 1. I was able to go in my saved/re-opened file and edit any filter I wanted without an error. In any event, I'll report this to the team. Thanks!
