have you tried reinstalling dot NET 8?

Yes, I also reinstalled visual studio installer and NET 6 in addition to 8

AI Tool version 2.2.24.8133 works fine

running
dotnet --list-runtimes

returns
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 6.0.20 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 8.0.4 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.16 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 8.0.1 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.NETCore.App]

i still have the same issue

You might need to install 6 "just" to make it happy for the install itself even though the core program uses net 8. I still need to tweak the installer so it doesn't care if 6 is there or not.

Correct .net 6 installer:

Download .NET 6.0 Desktop Runtime (v6.0.29) - Windows x64 Installer

dotnet.microsoft.com

Correct .net 8 installer:

Download .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime (v8.0.4) - Windows x64 Installer

dotnet.microsoft.com

Sorry, missed this.

When I look at the installer code it is literally calling 'dotnet --list-runtimes' and simply making sure '

Microsoft.NETCore.App 6.0.

' appears in the list.

It outputs the result of that command to "%TMP%\dotnet.txt" then deletes it when its done.

Perhaps if your %TMP% environment variable (as apposed to %TEMP%) is not set to a valid folder that could be a factor.

Can you get to it if you enter %TMP% in a file explorer address bar, or do you get an error?

You can force a log file to be created for the install that might help. Run this from an administrative command prompt:

"C:\PathToSetup\AIToolSetup.2.6.53.exe" /LOG="%TEMP%\AITOOLSETUP.LOG"

Guys - getting deepstack: timeout on all my alerts that are landing up in canceled alerts. My BI 5.5.5.13 x64 and Deepstack are from 2022. How do I find my deepstack version to post here and would this script running on a daily basis possibly work - saw it on reddit

del C:\DeepStack\redis\*.rdb

del C:\Users\username\appdata\Local\Temp\DeepStack\. /q

 

[dohat leku]

Sorry meant to say this folder has 80gb of data - C:\Users\username\appdata\Local\Temp\DeepStack\.

I'm also open to updating deepstack to the latest as long as it's a good move and it'll work with an old 2022 BI 5.5.5.13. vs just being safer to simply stay with an older version

Deepstack is a dead product and has been for a few years.

Uninstall deepstack, delete it and never look back. Use CodeProject.AI. They keep it up to date and it has a nice web interface for installing updates and components:

CodeProject.AI Server: AI the easy way.

Version 2.6.2. Our fast, free, self-hosted Artificial Intelligence Server for any platform, any language

www.codeproject.com

The latest version of AITOOL works great with it. Or use the latest version of BI directly with CodeProject and skip AITOOL if you like. Its not as powerful or flexible but it gets the job done.

So I have to install codeproject, then AItool. Got it - do you think it would work well with an older version of BI from 2022 - 5.5.5.13 - I guess it would because all BI is doing is simply sending it alerts and awaiting a response right?

Should work fine with older versions of BI

Is it possible to run multiple instances of CodeProject AI like it is Deepstack?

Ive been using Deepstack all this time running 4 instances at once but figured CPAI has been around long enough to be a better option but with my first testing I cant see how to run multiple instances of the same model and with a single instance it built up 100+ images in queue on the first day and is unusable.

 

[Schrodinger's Cat]

Is the Github monthly/one time sponsor setup the best way to support this project or is there a more direct way to support who's actively doing the development at the moment? AITool is awesome and I really want to kick a few bucks into the pot in hopes it sticks around.

Currently AITOOL handles the queue and only allows one request at a time to CPAI. I dont see an easy way like with Deepstack to run multiple instances.

However, I now see CPAI has its own queuing system that deepstack never had so it may be beneficial to update AITOOL to just hit cpai with everything we get and let it handle what it can. This will take some doing in the code so I'm not sure when I'll have time.

So the only option for now is to set up more CPAI servers to handle the requests:

• [Same machine] Install Docker, then CodeProject AI docker image on it. (easiest, least resources)
• [Same machine] Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), then install the Linux version
• [Same machine] Install another virtual machine tool (vmware/virtual box], install windows then install CodeProject AI normally
• Install on most any other machine in your network.
• Get a cheep Raspberry pi, Jetson or Intel NAC and install the appropriate docker versions
• Or of course keep running deepstack if you dont mind dealing with its instability
