Help with CGW reprogramming

All

I recently was coding the CGW and accidentally clicked Initialize and backed out. However, the DAS is giving me the following error forcing me to go through the initialization process:


When I go through initialization, I get the following error and select offline mode:



It allows me to get to the very end including updating the CGW firmware and recode everything but then right after I cycle the key, the DAS program crashes:



Does anyone have any insight on what I can do here? If there is a setting where I can set the CGW to at least think that it has been re-initialized, that might help. I have a 2010 DAS developer version.

Thanks!

Do you have Xentry app running? Certain operations in DAS require Xentry to be running in the background, otherwise you'll get obscure errors.

No I do not have Xentry running just DAS .. didn't even think about Xentry .. thanks for reminding me .. someone actually told me that a long time ago and I forgot about it (may even have been you) ... I can do pretty much everything else within DAS so didn't think of it. I'll give it a shot.

Make sure there is only one instance of it running in the background? (Task Manager: Processes, Services, etc)

Have you done a full reboot of the laptop? Unplug everything and retry.

I had an issue on my buddies setup a while back with Java preventing me from progressing. Needed an update.

Worst case, as tedious as it sounds, uninstall/reinstall DAS. =/

Try a different and known working Xentry virtual machine image? Faster than reinstalling DAS. I'm using 2012 and it works well for me (also has hack re-enable developer menu for NTG2.5 functions).

That is a software issue. Maybe your das/xentry needs to be updated. Is this your laptop?
