So it would seem that the latest version of SGP is able to start, but just barely, on Windows 10. I installed the latest ASCOM 6.1 SP1 and whenever I start SGP, I get this message:
If you click Quit, SGP obviously closes but if you click Continue, SGP opens up as normal. The splashscreen stays open in the background though. The details appear to point to ASCOM as being the issue. My take on it is that installing ASCOM 6.1 SP1 on Windows 10 doesn’t create the registry entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ASCOM.
The problem is extended further as though SGP appears to start when you click Continue on this error message, I can select my QSI CCD camera and its internal filter wheel from my profiles but I can’t select my focuser or telescope. Both the focuser and telescope lists are empty and only say “No Focuser” and “No Telescope”. I have made sure both my Lakeside Motorised Focuser and EQMod with my EQDirect cable are installed, but nothing appears. I think this again links to ASCOM being the issue.
For your reference, this is a copy-paste of the error message Details:
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
