Runtime Error 217

[McenterFreak]

When i try to use a command line parameter to do a WOL on my Recording Service PC, i get this error: Runtime error 217 at 004B0AD1

My shortcut is this:

C:\Programmer\DVBViewer\DVBViewer.exe " -x8275

It dosen't help to "Run as administrator"

I can't reproduce it. Could you please also add the -debug parameter and post the debug.log here? Maybe something shows up there...

Could you please supply the complete syntax, and tell me where debug.log ends. I couldnt figure out myself. I tried, but no luck

[Lars_MQ]

"C:\Programmer\DVBViewer\DVBViewer.exe " -x8275 -debug

 

and the debug.log can be found in the configuration folder of the DVBViewer (just run the support tool and it will be zipped.

Done that, but can't find it in the configuration folder, here are the support.zip

Found the reason

Win 7 works with 2 sets of names for some folders. A "Display" name and a internal name. Display name is the translated name

e.g. "c:\Program Files" has a Danish display name like this "c:\Programmer"

So when I make a shortcut like this: "C:\Programmer\DVBViewer.exe" -x8275 I will get the error message, but if I change it to "C:\Program Files\DVBViewer.exe" -x8275", I wont get an error message

 

So now it works, but that leads me to another question. When i run DVBViewer with the -x8275 parameter, DVBViewer starts up, and shows the GUI. Why? I just want to wake the RS PC, not watching TV. If i wanted to se TV and wake the RS PC, I could just tick the Wake Service PC option in DVBViewer, and start DVBViewer, no need for parameters, or have i missed something?

There was 2 parts in my post, first one a solution to my old problem, and second a question:

Does Developers have an answer?

This is a jok, right?

 

If you don't like the DVBViewer to starte, than dont't start the DVBViewer. Use a diferen tool for WOL (e.g. WOL for DVBViewer).

Why do you call it a joke

I want to wake RECORDING SERVICE PC, not DVBViewer. If you have a clever solution, please describe it for me

Why do you call it a joke

You are starting the DVBViewer an than you complain the the DVBViewer starts. Sounds for me like a jok.

Why do answer this, you don't seem to be interested in clarifying anything, so why dont you keep quiet?

I am not complaining, just asking why there is a parameter to wake RS PC, when it is not needed. And my second question is: how to wake RS PC without starting DVBViewer

 

And this is not a JOKE

Use a diferen tool for WOL (e.g. WOL for DVBViewer).
