Hi Andy,
WSJT-X gets the path to OmniRig from Windows. No settings are required for this within WSJT-X. Usually, OmniRig installs into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Afreet\OmniRig" but the only thing that matters is which path is stored in the registry, and whether this path is correct. Please check if your firewall or your virus scanner block somehow the communication between WSJT-X and OmniRig. And see if there is a hanging process somewhere (wsjtx.exe, jt9.exe or omnirig.exe). I am using OmniRig myself. It works here very well with my Yaesu FT-991 and numerous WSJT-X versions. I am currently using 1.20, but 1.18 or 1.19 work as well. Yesterday or the day before, I noticed that some Windows update seemed to briefly interfere with the connection to OmniRig. But that has since resolved itself for me. 73 de DG2YCB, Uwe ________________________________________ German Amateur Radio Station DG2YCB Dr. Uwe Risse eMail: dg2...@gmx.de Info: www.qrz.com/db/DG2YCB Am 26.11.2022 um 17:56 schrieb Andy Durbin via wsjt-devel:
I have been running various versions of WSJ-X with Omni-Rig for many years. After having my station shut down for about a week I can no longer run WSJT-X with Omni-Rig. Error "Failed to start OmniRig COM server". If I run Omni-Rig client it connects to my TS-590S with no issue. If I close Omni-Rig client and open HDSDR or CW Skimmer both connect to Omni-Rig and establish 2 way communication with my TS-590S. It's clear that Omni-Rig and the client are working but it appears that WSJT-X either cannot find Omni-Rig client or is unable to start it. Where does WSJT-X expect to find Omni-Rig client and where is the path specified? I have found several discussions of this problem but have not found a solution. WSJT-X installation was not intentionally changed and I see the same problem with ver 2.3.0, ver 2.5.4, and 2.6.0 rc4. All these versions used to connect to Omni-Rig until this new problem started. I changed WSJT-X to start with admin privilege and have the same error. I also see the same with Omni-Rig 1.19 and 1.20. Omni-Rig client seems to have been unchanged since 2004. Any ideas on how to fix this?
