• This software application is designed for modern computer hardware and Windows 10 x64 operating system.
• Download and install Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784 (required by MapWin GIS)
  (should happen automatically – part of installer)
• Download and install Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53587
  (should happen automatically – part of installer)
• Ensure MapWin GIS OCX dependency is installed and registered, should happen automatically.
• Re-install with administrator rights.
• Disable anti-virus software, check software quarantine.
• Re-install application once all dependencies are met.
• Disable “Antimalware Service Executable” to achieve maximum performance, less disk access/overhead during processing.
• Disable anti-virus or add project folder and application to exceptions, less disk access/overhead during processing.
• Run application as administrative user if needed.
• Please remove/uninstall the application and re-install updated / newly released version.
• Please remove/uninstall the MapWinGIS OCX dependency before updating to newly released version.

KNOWN ISSUES:

• Application does not work on 32bit CPUs and will not start
• Application most likely will not work with Phantom 2 fisheye imagery
• If application stalls at ALIGN stage, install the following: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53587 (x64)
  (now included in installation bundle)
• Processing imagery on external hard drive, USB and/or network drives is much slower, not recommended!

SOLUTIONS & WORKAROUNDS:

• If processing fails consistently during the DEM generation stage and GEO step, please try the following workaround:
  – Ensure the Windows Language, Region and Format settings are set to United States / English
  – Reboot and Re-Login to Windows, Attempt Processing Again

• If the application stops on the ALIGN stage, you may need to add your camera into the Sensor Manager Database. It is also a good idea to verify that your imagery has the correct “Focal Length” EXIF metadata. For example, in order to process imagery from the Yuneec CGO3+, we had to tag the imagery with 3.97mm focal length and add a new entry into the sensor manager. (Not required for most images and drone platforms).
• If you encounter the following error in the DrnMppr-Error.log after Windows updates:

  System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot load Counter Name data because an invalid index '' was read from the registry.
     at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.GetStringTable(Boolean isHelp)
     at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.get_NameTable()
     at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.get_CategoryTable()
     at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String category, String counter, Boolean& categoryExists)
     at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounterLib.CounterExists(String machine, String category, String counter)
     at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.InitializeImpl()
     at System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter.EndInit()

  Please complete the following steps:

  To rebuild all Performance counters including extensible and third-party counters, type the following commands at an Administrative command prompt. Press ENTER after each command.
  
  Rebuilding the counters:
       cd c:\windows\system32
       lodctr /R
  (Run this at least 2 times, I got an error the first time and it works the second run)
  
       cd c:\windows\sysWOW64
       lodctr /R
  (Run this at least 2 times, I got an error the first time and it works the second run)
  
  Resyncing the counters with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI):
       WINMGMT.EXE /RESYNCPERF

DEPENDENCIES:

For Windows 7 and 8 users, you may need to install the .NET 4.5.2 framework: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42643
