Installing OpenTuner?

Post by G8XPZ » Wed Mar 13, 2024 10:29 am

Hi
I am trying to install and run OpenTuner but am struggling to get it to work.
Does it have to be installed using Visual Studio? or is there a windows .exe file anywhere?

If it is using VS can anyone give me a set by step way to install please?
(The ones on the donwnoad site do not give me enough detail)

Many thanks
DE G8XPZ Steve

Steve

OpenTuner is a standalone application. It does not need VS.

Create a folder in the root of your C: drive such as c:\zr6tg and extract the downloaded archive file into that.

Browse the extracted files to find opentuner.exe.

Double click the file to run the program.

Two windows will open; a debug that can be minimised and the main program window.

You never need to compile OT yourself. Binaries will always be available at https://www.zr6tg.co.za/open-tuner/. I'm working on an installer as well that will let it all install nicely instead of using the archive.

Hi
Thanks for the replies - When I unzipped my latest download I could not find an exe file in it - but a previous one labelled 0.9 did have the exe. So extracted it and now have Opentuner running dated 11-02-2024

Thanks Steve G8XPZ

I have noticed, extracting large zip files does not always complete all files..
I have extracting opentuner and datvred sometimes misses several files..
2nd try and really let it work will solve the problems..

So unzipping it in a new folder closer to the root might be the cause..
