Derek,
More success and a new problem. I used the example uhd_find_devices arguments you show below modified for my system and the device was correctly found. Note the windows installer does not create a UHD folder in the Program Files folder but rather in the GnuRadio-3.7\share folder. After finding the device I tested it using the uhd_wbfm_receive example and got and error “python.exe has stopped working”. Below is the transcript. I guess at this point, I’m not looking for solutions. I’m guessing windows installs are just not prime time yet and if we solve this next problem another will install issues will take its place. However, I will keep reporting problems if it means something to the developers. Thank you very much for your help!

This means the B100 is being found. The images downloader is a Python script. Do you have a D:\Program Files\UHD folder? Can you look there to see if the uhd_images_downloader.py script is installed? If, and I believe this is the case, the GNU Radio binary installer you are using has the release version of UHD 3.9.3 then you can manually download the images here: http://files.ettus.com/binaries/images/uhd-images_003.009.003-release.zip I'm not sure the exact folder they should be unzipped into for the UHD library to find them given the custom build (UHD isn't usually in the GNU Radio bin folder). However you can download the files, extract them somewhere (into D:\Program Files\UHD\share\uhd\images if the UHD folder already exists) and try manually specifying the fw and fpga paths. For example but modify as needed: uhd_find_devices --args "fw= D:\Program Files\UHD\share\uhd\images\usrp_b100_fw.ihx,fpga= D:\Program Files\UHD\share\uhd\images\usrp_b100_fpga.bin" Regards, Derek On Tue, Jul 12, 2016 at 4:05 PM, Dave <davidcbas...@msn.com> wrote: Thanks Derek, I tried using Admin privileges and that did not make a difference. I believe all the ports on my machine are USB3 however I’m not sure they use exactly the same hardware. In any event I tried another one and it did make a difference. I now get the message below regarding the need to run uhd_images_downloader. I ran it (also below) and it indicates it needs me to specify a device however I have not figured out the correct way to do that. Note: All the images appear to be already on the machine in the share/uhd/images directory. Also as you see below the message states to run C:\ProgramFiles\UHD\lib\utils\uhd_images_dowloader.py. My installation is on the D: drive not the C: drive and the downloader appears to be an .exe file in the GNURadio-3.7\bin file. I don’t know if something is looking for code in the wrong places or not.

I don't know if anyone else has tried the B100 using the Windows UHD+GNU Radio binaries. Are you connected to a USB 2 only port or to a USB 3 port? I would try a dedicated USB 2 port if possible. Also, I don't believe that permissions issues exist to the same degree on Windows, but can you try running uhd_find_devices in an administrator prompt?

I used the gnuradio_3.7.9.2_win64 installer referenced on the GNURadio installation guide. When I run uhd_find_devices I get the following: D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\bin>uhd_find_devices Win32; Microsoft Visual C++ version 14.0; Boost_106000; UHD_003.009.003-0-unknown No UHD Devices Found When I look in my device manager I do see a USRPs device show as “Ettus Research LCC B100” I posted this issue last week on the USRP discussion list and was advised to make sure I had only one instance of UHD. I discovered I had incorrectly installed gnuradio using the installer mentioned above and also installed UHD using the installer on the ETTUS website not realizing the GNU radio installer took care of both. I uninstalled GNU radio and uhd and removed everything I could find for both. I then re-ran the gnuradio_3.7.9.2_win64 installer. I still have exactly the same problem shown above with the inability to find the device. Note: I can successfully use gnuradio and the USRP device on this same computer using the LiveUSB image thus I don’t believe there are any hardware issues. Can anyone provide me more tips on how to troubleshoot my installation?
