I have been trying to set up a couple of new ASI2600MM cameras on a couple of Windows 11 laptops. I installed latest ASCOM Platform, the ASCOM Driver and then the Camera driver in that order. I also installed ASIStudio and the camera worked fine with ASILive. The camera appears on the Device Manager under Imaging Device as it should showing that the driver is installed correctly I believe.
However, when I tried to run the camera under MaxImDL v6 I get two different errors on each laptop even though I believe they are exactly the same set up and I did the same installation procedure on both.
On the first one I get a "Could not create COM object 'ASCOM.Utilities.Chooser'" error as in the screenshot below.
If I continue anyway and try and connect I get the following error:
On the second laptop I get as far as the ASCOM Camera Chooser coming up but the options do not contain the ASI Camera (1) option that I believe I should be choosing as the main camera. The only options I get are things like ASCOM JustAHub Camera as in the screenshot below:
Note it doesn't matter whether I chose MaxImDL or ASCOM Driver in the Exp Start Time box I get the same choices.
I also tried yet another installation on an older Windows 10 laptop and carried out the same installation procedure as I had for the newer Windows 11 laptops. There it all worked. On the ASCOM Camera Chooser window it had the options for ASI Camera (1) and ASI Camera (2) as well as the other ASCOM JustAHub Camera ones so I chose ASI Camera (1) and I could get images OK.
I need both the installations on the new Windows 11 laptops to work as I run two telescopes for two groups of students at the same time at a university. I'd be very grateful for any assistance please. Many thanks.
Melvin.
