Error: CodeProject.AI Server service is not a valid Win32 application

[pepperfr]

Any ideas on how to solve this problem? I have installed the CodeProject AI Server on a Windows 10 PC and intend to use it with Blue Iris, but the CodeProject.AI Server service will not start. The Windows system event log showed the error below...

The CodeProject.AI Server service failed to start due to the following error:
CodeProject.AI Server is not a valid Win32 application.

When I try to manually start the CodeProject AI Server service, I get the following error:

Windows could not start the CodeProject AI Server service on the Local Computer.
Error 193: 0xc1

What path are you using?

What path are you using?

Thanks. I am not sure which path you are referring to. CodeProject.AI.Server.exe was installed at C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\Server. I'm not sure that's what you are asking, though.

Yes, I was curious what you were using for the auto start/stop with blue iris in settings. That directory isn't working for me.

I fixed the problem by opening the registry editor and navigating to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CodeProject.AI Server

I modified the ImagePath by adding quotes to the string. Specifically, I changed the ImagePath from this

C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\Server\CodeProject.AI.Server.exe

to this

"C:\Program Files\CodeProject\AI\Server\CodeProject.AI.Server.exe"

I think the problem was that the ImagePath includes a space. I think on some systems having a space in the ImagePath can create problems with starting the CodeProject.AI Server.
