Hi everybody,
I recently bought an ASA DDM 60 never used from a reseller stock
first of all i tried to install Autoslew software . it was not easy to find where to download it but it is done now .
i decided to install autoslew on the telescope NUC who run on Windows 11 pro. At the installation , it was asked to install Dotnet35 . i did it. i went to windows features to add dotnet35 to my windows services. i also installed ASCOM 6.6 SP1 .
Then the installation software was launched again and i was able to install it . It asked me to install the prolific software , i said yes as the minipc was a new and clean . it said that the prolific dll was already present ( ?! but why not) . installation finished and autoslew icon appeared on my desktop .
i clicked on it . a small picture of a DDM60 appears . Then disappears and...nothing else . no prompt asking for the serial number, nothing.
i decided to check the prolific compatibility with windows 11 and i found a very recent and compatible driver , i installed it but nothing changed .
i'm unable to lauch the Autoslew software
Is someone kind enough to help me ?
Thanks a lot
