Cloverleaf on Windows 10

[Simone Heckmann]

Hi all,

I know, this is totally unsupported but for demonstration purposes I’d love to be able to run a Cloverleaf on Windows 10.

So I gave it a shot and installed it and: it worked.

At least, it did until the end of december.

Then something happened (Microsoft Patch, maybe?) and suddenly the monitorDaemon doesn’t come up again.

I have tried everything but I just can’t make it work anymore.

It doesn’t give an error message, so I have no idea where to look.

All I get is this:

Code:

************************************
Command Issued:    hcisitectl -s m
Command status:     0

Starting DB dependency check…

Starting hcimonitord
hcimonitord is NOT running

And an entry in the OS event log :

Code:

–
 hcimonitord.exe
 0.0.0.0
 53911bc4
 hcimonitord.exe
 0.0.0.0
 53911bc4
 c0000005
 00069e3c
 1ee0
 01d15cc78f0902e3
 C:cloverleafcis6.1integratorbinhcimonitord.exe
 C:cloverleafcis6.1integratorbinhcimonitord.exe
 85574835-354d-4cf7-ba31-308ebd1b61d5
 
 
 
 

There’s no MonitorD logfile written.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

If you haven’t already set the compatibility mode to Win7 for what you are launching, give that a try, that’s what I recall doing to get it to work on Win10 a couple of weeks ago.

We ended up getting the vendor a Win7 virtual machine in-house that the contractor could remote desktop to, so did not use it on WIN10 more than a couple of days.

Hi Russ,

thanks, I already tried the compatibility mode for hcimonitord.exe, but that didn’t make a difference. What bugs me most about this is that I had it all up and running without any trouble a couple of weeks ago and then it just stopped working!

Regards,

Simone

Got it!

Combination of using local admin user instead of hciuser (even though I don’t see a difference in their privileges) to run the service plus running hcimonitord.exe and hciengine.exe in Win 7 compatibility mode did the trick!

It’s a cludge but still less messy than running it in a VM or downgrading my demo machine 😉
