Issue running GUI 5.0.4 on Windows

I just setup my cyton+daisy with the EEG electrode cap for the first time. I followed all the instructions from the website very carefully. When I click the "Start Data Stream" button, the TXD light turns red on the USB dongle, (Which I assume is a positive thing?) however, the entire GUI then freezes, and no data is displayed. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm seriously concerned as I'm a broke college student who maxed out my credit card for this device, and it seems that it does not work at all?
Comments
Can we please see the full Console Log? There is not enough information here to determine what could be happening.
Please be aware that the current version of the GUI is incredibly stable and has been tested on all 3 major OS many times.
The full console log is above, I am running the program as an administrator, so I don't see why there would be Access is Denied errors. What's strange is that the console itself actually freezes, but when I click the button to copy the the console log, it contains much more information on the errors.
Ouch! Program can't read and write from the Documents folder. Every step that involves system disk read/write is failing.
I even think BrainFlow is being denied access to wherever this is running from (Ex. C:/ProgramFiles/OpenBCI_GUI).
I really appreciate seeing the Console Log for the new 5.0.4.
Any thoughts as to why? I don't see why there would be access errors when I'm running the application as an administrator. I'm now trying it on my Mac, and just so you are aware, it seems as though the latest version is not properly signed, as I am getting an issue stating that "OpenBCI_GUI" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. (This I think I can work around)
Ah, It is working on the MacBook, so I will do development from there.
I'm seeing that 5.0.4 failed to sign on Windows with Appveyor. We may need to do a hot-fix in the CI/CD pipeline and bump version to 5.0.5.
Yea, I think the Mac signing is fine. That's at Travis (at the moment but they don't want to respond to a request for OSS credits).
Mac signing is fine. Mac OS X should only show popups associated with downloading an app from the internet instead of the built-in app store. Fixed by right-clicking -> open app the first time you open a new version.
@wjcroft Can we rename this thread to something more relevant? -> "Issue running GUI 5.0.4 on Windows"
Richard, changed thread title.
Could you check your permissions to write files there and check that folder exists?
Richard, maybe later on we can make this path configurable by env variable for example or by file with settings(not really related to this issue since there must be write permissions for documents folder)
@Andrey1994 Permissions all appear good, and the folder does exist. It's very strange behavior. I'll likely dig into it myself a bit more in the future, but for now I am just moving forward on my Mac, which has had no issues so far!
This was the first thing I noticed when started using GUI 5.0.4. I also run it on Win 10 (v2004) and write the data to SD. It happens from time to time (I don't see any pattern). The only solution is to go back to the Control panel and switch off and on the board. Otherwise, the session can not be started again. I didn't test it on other OSs.
