I've tried several times but I can't get this latest version to install,

I uninstalled the previous version (1.1.33.0) using Total Uninstall,

but when I try to install the latest version (1.1.34.0) I get this error

message:- The procedure entry pointGetSystemMatricsforDPi

could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll

SO I've gone back to v.1.1.33.0

Does anyone have any idea about this?

[Matt]

@funkyy can you add more information about the OS you are using with the build version?

Edit:

i don't see that function in the installer itself, only in FxSound.exe

but it is also in the 1.1.33.0 version of FxSound.exe
and in that report on GitHub say: "After installing", that have more sense

Just to confirm with @xanax this specific problem, GetSystemMetricsForDpi missing from USER32.dll, typically indicates that the application is attempting to access a Windows API method that is not present in your Windows version. The latest FxSound build 1.1.34.0 won't start if you're on Windows 7, 8, or an early version of Windows 10, as that feature was only added in Windows 10 (version 1607) and later.

[Matt]

@funkyy try to install their recent beta release. Release Version 1.2.0.0 (Beta) · fxsound2/fxsound-app

[funkyy]

@Matt  I uninstalled the version that I had gone back to, and I installed the BETA version (1.2.0.0)........but it didn't work, just the same message about the "entry point". I'll just go back to the last working version.

I have a different error with 1.1.34.0 version "This installation package is not supported by this processor" on latest Win10 64-bit (with all updates).

Version 1.1.33.0 working like a charm.

Btw, I have many latest apps installed, included Photoshop and many "heavy" apps, and only this one have a "conflict"with my processor. Weird

Windows 10 KB5063709 Direct Download Links: Microsoft Update Catalog

 

You may update your OS, and report back please.

[mires]

@Matt gonna do this, and report you back... Thank you

[mires]

@Matt after update same error appear, unfortunately. Thank you anyway, I'm gonna stick with previous version.

[Skunk1966]

no problem installing on Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2. also no error after install

[Matt]

@mires do run this on PowerShell please

 

try {
    $sig = @"
    [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
    public static extern int GetSystemMetricsForDpi(int nIndex, uint dpi);
"@
    Add-Type -MemberDefinition $sig -Name "NativeMethods" -Namespace Win32
    Write-Host "✅ GetSystemMetricsForDpi is present in USER32.dll"
} catch {
    Write-Host "❌ GetSystemMetricsForDpi not found on this system"
}

 

Let me know what result you observe.

 

It should give you this result:

 

✅ GetSystemMetricsForDpi is present in USER32.dll

 

Or

 

❌ GetSystemMetricsForDpi not found on this system

Meanwhile i unistall old version, rebott win, and install new one without any error. It's probably some issue in the app installation or who knows...
