DLMSDirector

I'm trying to launch the DLMSDirector executable file after installing it and it will not launch. I'm not getting any kind of error, but windows explorer gets stuck. I'm using windows 7 and the Version: 7.0.49.1 Released: 01/07/2016.

Is there any known problem?

Thanks in advance

I can install and run DLMSDirector, but its the wrong version

I can download, install and run DLMSDirector using the installer currently available for download, but its actually 7.0.48.1, and not 7.0.49.1. This is a problem that seems to keep recurring when the installer is updated.

DLMSDirector will not launch

Hi,

There was something strange in our Continuous Delivery system.

We made new version (7.0.50.1) and it is now available.

I'm sorry about this.

Same problem persists for me, nothing changed. The steps I follow is installing it and trying to launch GXDLMSDirector.exe. Thanks for the support.

Do you mean help menu inside the application? I can't access because it does not launch at all. Or you mean something different?

I do not get any error, it just creates the process on the computer but the UI does not appear. I paste what I get in cmd:

C:\Users\user>reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5"| findstr Install
Install REG_DWORD 0x1
InstallPath REG_SZ C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\

Hi,

Finally I've found the problem. It was the antivirus software (Avast), when it's deactivated it works fine.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for let us know from this.
I believe that Director try to get meter settings from the server and Avast blocks this.
For this reason UI is not shown.
