Error with dxgi.dll

Installation Help
1

Hello, I’m giving wfview a try for the very first time. Downloaded v1.6.1. Installation seems straightforward, however when I try to start wfview to begin configuration, I get the error “The procedure entry point CreateDXGIFactory2 could not be located in dynamic link library dxgi.dll”. I note that I have six (6) instances of dxgi.dll in my computer.

Computer using Windows 7 64-bit
Intel i5-2400 CPU
8 GB
NVIDIA GeForce GT520 video adapter
Target radio IC-7610

I’m sure this is something I should know about but I seem to be blank…
Many thanks for any help.

Hi Dave.

The download for the x64 version of wfview 1.61 says ‘Most users with a modern Windows will want to install this’

Windows 7 is nearly 15 years old so not really considered ‘modern’ :slight_smile:

You need to use the x86 (32bit) version which ‘should’ work, but you are on your own as we don’t do any testing with Windows 7.

Wow! So quick!
I am suitably shamed, I still considered Windows 7 ‘modern’.
OK, I’ll see what happens with x86.

Thanks very much!

Yes I know what you mean, in my head it seems that 2000 was just a few years ago…
