Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

 

When I try to use the HP RGS on Windows 10 - 1709 (OS Build 16299.334) x64

HP RGS version 7.4.0.13800

 

I get unable to connect to Sender!

The receiver resolved the specified hostname or IP address,

but canot connect to the Sender. Verify that the system is

accessible on your network and that the Remote Graphics

Sender service has been started. Be sure the Sender is

listening on a public IP address and is not blocked by a firewall.

 

I only get this message on my Windows 10 - 1709 x64 computer.

I don't get this message on my Windows 7 SP1 x64 computer

Are you using a hostname or IP address to connect to your sender?  Is the sender service running or is it crashing when trying to make a connection.  Verify that the sender is actually up and running in your services on the Win 10 machine.   If you do use a firewall, make sure to make RGS an exception.  If the Win 7 and Win 10 senders are on the same network, there should be no reason why it only works on the Win 7 sender.  If possible, can you send me the sender installerlog from your Win 10 machine?  It is located at %TEMP%\rgs.

 

In reviewing the snippet you sent along, the sender is not in DEBUG mode.  Please make sure you are in DEBUG mode, you can do this by launching the senderConfigApp.exe that is located where RGS is installed.  It could be that when RGS was installed on Win 10, you only had partial administrative privileges.  We have seen this in Win 10, and even though the installation completed, it was not entirely successful and thus connection issues.

Hi Kelly,

 

I tried the hostname and IP address. What Service name should I look for on my Windows 10 PC? The Windows 10 computer is currently in an Active Directory group that has the Firewall turned off. Both computers the Windows 10 PC and the Windows 7 PC are on the same network. I'll try and get you the install log.

In reviewing the installer log, it says it detected a previous receiver installed but listed it as 7.4.0.13800.  Did you originally upgrade from 7.3.1 to 7.4.0 32 bit and then again to 7.4.0 64bit?  Are you doing upgrades as default upgrades or do you specify a path for a custom installation, or did you uninstall 7.3.1, reboot, the install RGS 7.4?  Do you have both 32 bit and 64 bit entries in the registry?

 

 If the registry shows both win32 and win64 entries as captured in the image below, the following steps should be performed to resolve the issue:

 

 

Open regedit and delete the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EA68A36C-66BA-48A0-AA44-D8DC9479F972}
  • Install RGS Receiver if not already installed.
    If this is not successful, refer to the solution listed below.
If Receiver was already installed, do the following:
  • Open a command prompt in Administrator mode.
    Change directory to the install location of the RGS Receiver.
    Run rgreceiver.exe /RegServer
  • Ensure the registry key listed in Step 1 exists and only has a win32 or win64 entry.

Let me know if this resolves your issue with the connection.  If not, then we may need to uninstall RGS completely and perform a new installation.

I did upgrade from v7.3.1 32bit to 7.4.0 64bit. The upgrades are using the default settings for the install. I uninstalled 7.3.1 did a reboot then installed 7.4. When I looked in my registry I only saw win64 no win32 folder.

 

 

Following the steps below resolved the issue. I am not sure if it is necessary to delete the registry key but I deleted the registry key anyways.

 

Open regedit and delete the following key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{EA68A36C-66BA-48A0-AA44-D8DC9479F972}

    Change directory to the install location of the RGS Receiver.
    Run rgreceiver.exe /RegServer
  • Ensure the registry key listed in Step 1 exists and only has a win32 or win64 entry.

Thank you for your assistance! Much appreciated!
