cons013 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So I just installed aeroglass, and every time I boot this error shows. How do I fix it? Additionally, how do I change settings? I'm a bit of a noob at this, so don't be surprised if I don't understand something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 You should post the exact version (or build) of Windows you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmagnifique Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Have you recieved an email with your donation key? You need to copy that over to the Aeroglass install folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cons013 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 I haven't made a donation, that shouldn't affect the basic operation of the software though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) In this case, it does, you need to manually get symbol files from MS server. To do that, download Windows SDK Installer and run it. When it asks which features to install, you only need Debugging Tools for Windows. When you got that installed, put the attached file in C:\AeroGlass and run it to download the symbols. Which version of Aero Glass have you downloaded? Latest Win10 version is only supported by the debug build of Aero Glass available in Experimental versions section on the website, it has no installer and opens debug console on login along with a warning that this is debug build. There is an app for changing settings in Download section, under Others. symbols.cmd Edited August 1, 2017 by UCyborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cons013 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 Ok so let me get this cleared up Install aero glass, place the donation key file or whatever in installation file. Run windows sdk and install the debug tools (I did that yesterday anyway) Copy that "symbols.cmd" file, run as admin, wait for the download thing to complete. Is that it? What is this experimental debug thing? How do I use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dna-systems Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The debug window is just part of the "beta" version. I just hide it by right clicking the task bar -> select "show task view" button -> click task view icon on task bar -> drag debug window to 2nd desktop -> then deselect "show task view button".

cons013 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 I see, guess I'll have to live with that terminal window always open. No news about when a fully released version for 1703 will release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, no news about the current state of the project in months. So you got experimental version working now? You actually only need to bother with SDK Installer and the script I attached if you don't donate, if valid donation.key is present in Aero Glass folder, it downloads symbols on its own. They tell Aero Glass how to hook certain functions in Desktop Window Manager to provide glass effect when Microsoft changes something. It only works for smaller changes, when they rewrite some routine, Aero Glass code has to be updated as well.

cons013 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Woo! It works, thankyou!! Now, how do I find my machine code? I forgot to copy it from that little dialogue thing, I need the code to generate my donation key Edited August 1, 2017 by cons013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found my machine code, and downloaded donation.key I put this file into the C:/Aeroglass folder, rebooted, and the watermark is still there. Am I missing something?
