X10dispatch now works on 64bit
« on: December 29, 2010, 11:29:08 AM »

Many of us were sad to see X10dispatcher lose interest in this program.
With many switching to Windows 7 and 64 bit it seemed like we would have to go without this gem.
Since X10Dispatcher has posted the code and made it open source I felt I'd take up the job of at least trying to keep it alive. ::) :'
Written in C# which isn't one of my favorite codes I set about to look at it.
If anyone else is fluent in C# would like to help with this venture drop me a note!
The first issue: Get this to work on 64 bit.
That is done and here is the link:
X10dispatch64
Be advised that I've only made this so it will load on a 64 bit OS and haven't debugged it to see what will pop up.
It should also work on a 32 bit OS Probably with less bugs.
Once I'm caught up on my other projects I'll start to fix some of the links  and Try to debug with your help!

I downloaded it, and installed it on my Win7 Pro 64-Bit PC.
I got an error that it couldn't connect to the SDK components, and asked me if I wanted to install them.
Since I know they are already installed, I said "no."

Is this because I have the newer SDK?

That is a good possibility!
X10dispatch was created with the original SDK componets
I'll try to load it on a XP system with the old SDK and see if that pops up.
I did try it on my windows 7 64 bit with the new SDK installed and I get the same popup.
I checked the root folder and the dll is there. ??? ::) :'

I installed on a XP partion that had the old SDK and never got the pop up.
I rebuilt with the new SDK and no longer get the pop up asking to install the AHscript files.
I just uploaded it to my web site so the link above works to get the new installer.
Now the next issue is will users with the old SDK or older AHP have issues with this?  ::) :'

I updated the installer to place X10dispatch in the same folder that the last offical build from Dave installed to so there shouldn't be a need to transfere settings.

Yep, And it will stay like that for a while! ::) :'
X10Dispatch uses a special driver (dll) to do the MSN stuff.
I haven't had a chance to dig into the code much yet and there is a lot to sort threw.
I'm hoping someone with more experiance in C# will help out!
