WEBENCH® Tools/TAS5755MEVM: TAS5755MEVM

Part Number: TAS5755MEVM

Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools

Hi TI,

I am trying to get my TAS5755MEVM up and running.  The Purepath GDE fails on startup.  It gives me the following error: 

Unable to create an instance of the process flow controller.

C:Program Files(x86)\Texas Instruments Inc\TAS57x1 GDE\ComponentCache\TAS570xAudioApp_TI_v1\PfcTAS570xAudioApp_TI_V1.dll not found

I have tried to search for this file on the TI website to replace it, but could not find it.  I tried to repair the installation with the GDESetup.msi file, but was unable to solve the problem that way.

I was looking for what version of GDE I am using, but the program closes before I can get any information from it.  I used the setup file version 8.0.50727.42

I have attached the error log to this post.  Please let me know how I can repair this program and work with the GDE.  Thank you

Marshall Kinnison
