Re: Event Log error for XPLCM12: Could not find file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\xplhubclients.bin".

[Tom Van den Panhuyzen <tomvdp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Aha, that's scenario 1 then... though it is funny there are no more error
messages from the XPLCM12.
This is what is happening:
- xplhal starts first
- starts a hub (per configuration option)
- xplcm12 starts
- xplcm12 thinks there is no hub (V3 functionality)
- hub cannot be started because port 3865 is in use
This is not a problem unless for some odd reason xplcm12 would start before
xplhal. Then xplhal will not function because I think it doesn't like it
when it is told to start a hub but it cannot.
You could try:
- leave it like this... the errors are merely warnings and hopefully the
start order will remain the same;
- disable the hub from xplhal (look in the configuration file) - the hub
from xplcm12 will take over (it is more recent anyway);
- get a xplhal that is compiled with the latest xpllib: then it will be
100%
compatible with xplxm12 and the start order is not important.
Now I guess you have downloaded xplhal only recently, so you probably have
the latest version... Which means xplhal needs to be updated! (I have a
version that runs with xpllib V3 but that was sent to me off list more as a
test case. Has been running for more than half a year non-stop &
flawlessly.)
Cheers
Tom
