Issue installing/running InstaSPIN Universal GUI

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MOTORWARE, LAUNCHXL-F28027F, LVBLDCMTR, LAUNCHXL-F28069M, BOOSTXL-DRV8301, CCSTUDIO

I installed CCSv6, Motorware, and InstaSpinUniversalguiv104, however during the universal gui installation it pops with an error message pointing to the log file below*

Consequently,  it's no surprise that when I try running any of the three .exe files in the C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps it doesn't work due to the critical error "Unable to locate GUI Composer server to launch this application'

At the moment, I'd just like to see the hardware work, i.e. the motor (LVBLDCMTR) moving using either of the 2 launchpads  (LAUNCHXL-F28069M  / LAUNCHXL-F28027F) with the BOOSTXL-DRV8301, but I've tried the above installation on 3 different computers (WinXp, Win7x64, Win8x64) but they all behave EXACTLY the same, so I'm guessing I must be missing something obvious.

Incidentally, Code Composer seems to start fine, although I haven't actually tried compiling anything yet.    Not sure if I need to enter a license somewhere first.

    regarding the GUI Composer installation, I usually get that error when I try to install over an existing installation. The problem is that each stand alone GUI Composer installation has its own set of components so you essentially have to uninstall all others before installing the one you want to use. It's been a real pain since there are 2 GUIs for InstaSPIN.

    but the fact that you have tried this installation on different machines leads me to believe that you don't have any other GUI composer installations already on them....hmmmmm....I would try running the uninstall from ti\guicomposer, re-downloading the Universal GUI, and trying again.

    I'll forward this over to the GUI Composer team as well.


    Regarding CCS, you should be good to go after first install. Just follow
    C:\ti\motorware\motorware_1_01_00_14\docs\labs\instaspin_labs.pdf

    Thanks, tried the uninstall/reinstall on the win7 machine but no luck.

    Regarding the 2 standalone GUIs, which GUIs are these? I only installed the 'InstaSpinUniversalguiv104' but perhaps that's the wrong one? Is there any workaround at the moment? I'm guessing the GUI Composer is used to make guis, but all I'm really interested at the moment is to see the motor move so can the standalone/offline .exe's be downloaded? (The 3 .exes in C:\ti\guicomposer\webapps fail to run)

    you don't have to use GUI Composer. The alternate way (and what you will need to use eventually anyways) is Code Composer Studio.

    The InstaSPIN_labs.pdf walks you through all the labs and it only uses CCS and instruments variables through the Expressions View.

    I can't think of why the installation isn't working correct.  Can you turn off anti-virus and firewalls during install?

    Could you send me the installation log for gui composer? It should be located in

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallJammer Registry\guicomposer_11E8186A-7B66-4900-8DFE-07FA1CC2B2F0\2.0.0.0_install.log"

    InstallJammer Registry may be a hidden directory on your system.

    Thank you,

    Thanks Martin, I've attached/PM the log file.. 

    Interestingly, only the Windows8 computer had that folder/file.   The Win7x64 and XP installations had several log files but no (hidden) folder/file with that name.   Log.zip

    It is a bit odd that those other computers did not have that directory. I have made a minor adjustment to the installer. Would you be willing to try it out? The actual component should be exactly the same, just the installation program is a bit different. If yes, then please let me know and I'll send you the link privately. 

    Thank you,
    Martin

    Thanks, yes I'll give ti a run and see if guicomposer and/or the webapp exes work and let you know!

    Thanks Martin & Patrick, it worked on Win7 too when installed in anything other than the default (c:\ti)!

    Ben,
    Thank you for your time in working through this issue. When you get a chance could you comment whether "Run as administrator" resolved the issue or just installing it in a new directory.

    Thank you.

    In all the computers, the only user account has administrative privileges.

    I re-Installed and ran it normally as I had in the past   (not via the explicit  'As Administrator')...    the only difference was I installed to c:\tiGUI.    

    Thanks
