Failed to initialize FW upgrade Framework

Just installed RS5.12.02 on customer computer, VC Starts and all seems ok until you try to syncronize, that fails with an unexpected .NET error - and when ever you start ANY vc - (tried many different robot models) it reports the following:
 

IRB660_180kg_3.15m_1:

Failed to initialize FW upgrade framework 10/21/2009 3:30:47 PM Controllers 

 

See this file for display of error:

 


 

Can create a path in the staiton, but it will not syncronize!

  • Hi Thomas,
     

    Is the error related to a specific version of RobotWare? Have you tried other versions of RobotWare, like RW5.12.01?

     

    Do you see any difference using

    * Template system
    * System from Layout

    * System builder (ensure that you actively select matching drive unit)

     

    Kind regards,

    Henrik

  • Hi Henrik,
     

    No difference when trying any o fthe above, have not tried using 5.12.01...

     

    Customer informed me that his operating system is Vista Media - could this be the problem?

    (most likely since it is not a supported operating system)

     

    But the VC Starts no problem, also - can not edit or view RAPID in Offline TAB - unexpected error whenever you try...

  • Hi Thomas,

    I doubt that the OS is the problem. I would like you to log a PDD about the problem. Please include

    * an .rspag file with a failing system

    * a support log generated with Full Scan

    * a saved event log from the VC

     

    Kind regards,
