Hi phildeg31
Thank you for trying all the steps above.
It is best to perform the Repair in-place upgrade by following the steps from the link.
Errors Observed: Process Monitor revealed several errors with the miniCOCKPIT Firmware Uploader on the problematic computer, notably:
BUFFER OVERFLOW: Occurring on multiple QueryDirectory calls for essential DLLs. This often signals that the caller's buffer isn't large enough to capture the data, which might be handled gracefully by some applications but not in this case.
INVALID DEVICE REQUEST: Indicating that the uploader issued a device control request that the target hardware or its drivers did not support.
Differences Between Environments: Since the software functions correctly on your laptop but fails on your AMD-based system (with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and DDR5 memory), the issue likely stems from hardware/driver differences or environmental factors on your primary machine.
Potential Causes:
A mismatch between the application’s bundled runtime DLLs (like MSVCP140.dll and VCRUNTIME140.dll) and the system versions.
Differences in how the new AMD system's drivers handle low-level file system operations and control requests.
The firmware uploader encountering unexpected conditions or device states specific to the desktop configuration.
Next Steps to Consider:
Update & Compare DLLs: Verify that the local DLLs bundled with the application are either up to date or temporarily let the application use the system versions.
Driver & Firmware Verification: Ensure that all drivers (chipset, storage, device-specific) and firmware are updated on your AMD system.
Further Debugging: Consider capturing a crash dump with debugging tools to pinpoint which function is mishandling the buffer overflow.
Vendor Support: Share your detailed Process Monitor logs with miniCOCKPIT’s support to check if others with similar AMD setups have identified a workaround or patch.
