Summary of problems

ok, it seems that i am the only one who had this fail. i did this:

put the lights.exe and htc-kairs...cab on the my tilt running Jan/17 factory ROM

ran lights.exe to see the before version, only saw a still image of a cylinder

installed the cab

ran lights.exe, but got "Could not initialize Direct3D. This tutorial will exit."

tried to restart, same result

tried to run a video i have, no difference from before and after

It doesnt work for me. lights.exe gives error 0xc00000005, 0x01411130, 0x789560b8. Im running windows 6.1 NL rom. looks like you need a cooked rom?

I tried them at an official (non cooked) german 6.1 ROM and it doesn't work here

Lights.exe starts without the drivers, but the rotation is very sloooooow, as expected. After installing the drivers, I get an error starting Lights.exe.

I tried it too after hotreset - didn't work too.

After deinstalling the driver, Lights.exe works again...

I cant get the test app Lights.exe to work on my latest HTC standard WM 6.1 Kaiser (details in sig but suffice to say it's about as HTC WM 6.1 standard as you can get and hardSPL or any non-HTC ROM has never been on it - it's also the English version). I copied the cab across to the main My Device root folder, ran it and allowed the install to complete. I then rebooted/soft reset the device.

I extracted Lights.exe with winrar on my desktop PC and copied it across to the same folder as above and then tapped on it.

The error I get (every time) is "A native Exception has occurred in Lights.exe" and when viewing the details it reads either:

ExceptionCode: 0xc0000005

ExceptionAddress: 0x01381130

Reading: 0x78a860b8

or

ExceptionCode: 0xc0000005

ExceptionAddress: 0x01391130

Reading: 0x78a260b8

Toggling the default HTC Home Today screen on or off and retesting seems to get the alternative set of numbers above.

It's all gobbdygook to me but I hope this report helps the developers. I hope it won't be too much more work to correct this (compared to all the work put in so far) so thanks to all involved. I'll be very glad to test a revision 2 version if a Beta Tester with a HTC genuine device is needed. I do wonder why it seems to work on a specific customised ROM but not the Genuine HTC WM 6.1 version.

Same thing here,

I get

0xc0000005

0x03fa0060

0x7844febc

on my german NoThrills 6.1 ROM.

I've installed the driver a launched the program lights.exe

Kaiser returned this error:

ExceptionCode: 0xc0000005

ExceptionAddress: 0x01381130

Reading: 0x78a860b8

ROM: 3.29.408.0 ITA

Data ROM: 05 July 2008

Radio: 1.65.17.56

Installing that .Net Framework went through well and it updated my Kaiser over Activesync. I then rebooted/soft reset in and tested again - no dice.

I then uninstalled the HTC Classaction drivers using Settings => System => Remove Programs, soft reset then reinstalled the drivers. I then soft reset again tested again and I'm still getting A Native Exception but this time the Reading number is a little different:

ExceptionCode: 0xc0000005

ExceptionAddress: 0x01381130

Reading: 0x78a760b8

If I hard reset the device and try again, is the correct order of installation .Net Compact Framwork 3.5 => soft reset => then this driver cab => soft reset and ready to test Lights.exe again or is there something else I need to install/configure first?

Okay, so I tried it myself. Guess what - it didn't work

It throws GraphicsException with following message: 80004005 when trying to create new Device object (Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.Device).

My ROM is 1.34.831.1 WWE (no idea where I got that one from). I will try to play with it a bit. In case I won't be able to get it work I will probably flash some ROM with which it works.

Edit: I googled a little bit and 80004005 seems to be generic COM failure error (E_FAIL).

Having the official 1.65.17.56 one in itself doesn't help, at least when all the rest is HTC original as well. Testing it after a hard reset and installing .Net 3.5 CF + drivers in the correct order still results in a Native Exception with Lights.exe when run from the phone memory (I've left my storage card out since the hard reset). The only difference in the error is the Reading value is now 0x78a060b8.

Alas it looks like its a wait for a fix situation but then I've waiting this long so I'm sure a little longer wont hurt

If you're reading Chainfire, you may wish to update the HTCClassaction.org website to mention .Net 3.5 should be installed first as well. It doesn't seem to come natively with the HTC WM 6.1 original ROMs.

Hi,

i got the same error numbers excepted for ExceptionAddress: 0x01341130

with official french htc 6.1 rom 3.28.406.6 FRE

with Radio 1.65.17.56.

Please note that the light.exe worked in the phone memory BEFORE

the D3D cab install.

But so, not after(soft reset done of course), and i installed the cab to the device.

Regards
