Am running scheduler right now. Works on ACx8, ACx16, and WiLink. Haven't checked with a DCx16 yet, but feel confident it will work.

 
St. Vidicon of Cathode, pray for us.......

I just sent out an email to all customers informing them of this thread and giving the specific download location/instructions.  You should have already received it.

The scheduler patch is ready... to download it add _scheduler before the .zip in the original download location from which you downloaded 0.4. 
 
Assuming you have 0.4.0 or later installed (not 0.2), just replace the aurora_scheduler.exe file in the Aurora Sequencer folder with the new one you just downloaded and unzipped.
 
If any of that didn't make sense or anyone needs help, just let me know!

I've located the problem.  It wasn't with the installer but an issue with the new device types not being properly loaded into the scheduler.  I'm working on a fix now that should be ready later today.

As I recall I think I just copied the .2 aurora_scheduler.exe from the .2 aurora_scheduler.CAB file, renamed the .4 aurora_scheduler.exe and replaced it with the .2 aurora_scheduler.exe.
 
But I may have actually run the .2 scheduler install. With the newer installation package I don't recall the scheduler showing up as an installed program (Add|Remove Programs).. If it should sho there that might help explain why it didn't work and would surely help point toward the new installer package perhaps.  It's there now which leads me to believe I did the .2 scheduler installation.

Thanks for the update... I'll try it on a clean system.  It is possible that something is missing in the installation package (which the development systems would have regardless of the installation package status).  The scheduler uses the same playback module as the sequencer which I have seen work so this is just a packaging/dependancy issue with the new installer that was introduced in 0.4.  In the worst case scenario it is still possible to roll out a scheduler only install using the old installer to get the July 4 shows going.
 
FYI... the 0.2 scheduler will play 0.4 files, but any of the new D-Light specific effects (e.g. Shimmer Ramp) will not be rendered properly since they did not exist in 0.2.

Sorry for being AWOL - been an aggravating month, but won't bore you with it.
 
Having same issue, which I discovered today when putting Independence Day show through a preliminary. Ran through all available com ports (normally Com4) just in case. Same applies using the WiLink. Was using ACx16s for the test, will try an ACx8 tomorrow just for giggles. Am also going to attempt just using the scheduler from an earlier release without doing a full rollback. 
 
Comm light will remain steady-on while Borealis is running, but it appears the controller is ignoring the data. Corrupted???

bdkeen,
 
I haven't been able to replicate this yet.  I used the D-Light adapter on COM4 during testing.
 
Is anyone else having this problem with 0.4?
