Hello,
I've been trying to access my DCA1000EVM connect to a AWR1443 from a new laptop but I cannot seem to get the mmWave Studio 2.1.1.0 to start properly. I have the following output from the log when I open the program,

[11:11:23] Exception message is:
[11:11:23] An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)
I have installed,
1. MATLAB Runtime 8.5.1
2. Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package 32bit
3. XDS Emulation Software V9.2.0.00002
4. mmWave Studio 2.1.1.0
I'm running Windows 10 Pro - 19042.630
I am also sure that the DCA1000EVM works since it was working on another system of mine, I just need it on a laptop now so I can test remotely.
I'm not sure what else to try, I haven't found another post with my issues who have installed the above programs beforehand.

HI, Austin:
Please take a look at this DCA1000 debug handbook https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/872161
For the startup issues, usually it involves the right version of 32 bit MATLAB runtime, reinstallation and remove RSTD folder.
Best,
Zigang
Austin,
Please make sure that you have installed MATLAB runtime v8.5.1 (32-bit). If you have the 64-bit version installed, please uninstall it and install the 32-bit version instead.
Regards,
Kyle
Thanks Kyle and Zigang,
I've removed the RSTD folder and reinstalled MATLAB V8.5.1 32bit. Same issue pops up. No change.
I'm trying to installed CCS to see if that'll help...
Austin
HI, Austin:
Our design expert suggest to check whether you installl FTDI driver directly. Can you see 6 USB ports in the device manager?
Best,
Zigang
Hi Zigang,
Yes, I can see all 6 devices when I have the AWR1443 and DCA1000 plugged in.
Thanks,
Austin
Hi, Austin:
The designer suggest you to download the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ and try.
Best,
Zigang
Hi Zigang,
It seems installing CCS again then restarting twice fixed the issue (I guess it's a magic number for my machine?).
The radar API appears and the system finishes loading.
Thank you for your help.
Austin
