trying to use your nrfMAster emulator with WIN10

[herve bourricaud]

Hi, I'd like to design a custom software an win10 to help in design a custom hardware using nrf51822...

at this time I have an eval board (PCA10028) whit a custom firmware I can download/debug using an eclipse IDE + GCC compiler.... the board is advertising and running nrfUart service

On desktop Win side, I use a PCA10031 usb dongle with firmware (Ido not remember it's ok)

running nRF UART sample result an exception in StartMasterEmulator executing this line => masterEmulator = new MasterEmulator();

does master Emulator dll is OK with Win10 ? (I've updated my dextop from win7 to win10 and thought it was working before...)

kind regards herve

Master Emulator should work just fine on Win10. Do you get problems with a program on win10 that worked fine under win7, or is this a new or modified program?

I'am just trying the nrfUart demo program It was ok under WIn7 but crash under win10...

I've just tryed to start it "as administrator" (using right click on nrfUart.exe) and it work fine !

Now, why this problem, and how to setup Microsoft Visual studio to start the debug as administrator... are other questions.

I ran into what sounds like a similar issue on Windows 8.1 Pro.

After loading the project into Visual Studio and rebuilding it the program now seems to work fine.

(I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.)

MasterEmulator needs access to a log file in %appdata%\Nordic Semiconductor\Master Emulator\, which explains why running as administrator works. If you do not have access to that log file location then the program will crash when trying to create a new MasterEmulator.

Adding the necessary access rights for the log file directory should let you run Master Emulator as a normal user.
