Hi, when I run this, nothing comes up I downlaod Framework 4 running on 64 win 7

1) Install Framework 4
2) You download NetworkADB-x64.zip unzip and run NetworkADB.exe and click Install.
In Windows Explorer (not IE) in folder My PC (in left treview) should appear "Network ADB"
-------
if you tried to install the program without Framework 4.
1) Install Framework 4
2) Uninstall NetworkADB
3) Install NetworkADB

------------

~300 in russian
no comments or reviews.
It means all everything works well

[svansvan]

video course terrible quality
After install:
1) in LEFT side of Explorer window (tree)
You have "My computer" in this item you have disks C,D... You have item "network adb"?
2) in context menu on item Network Adb (right mouse click) you have "properties, connect, disconnect etc" items ?
---
Like as in attached screens in main post.
---
Do you run install exe as administrator?
Do you restart windows after instal Framework 4 ?

In same folder (where you run install.exe) You will have some files. 2 ddl's must be registered in system. may, for whatever reason, they did not register. there need to debug deeper knowledge and only Monday I will be able to give more detailed instructions

 

[svansvan]

New 0.0.2 version in header.
1) add adb console window
2) change adb path,
3) multi-devices : support selection (wifi-usb-emulator etc)
----
Before installing, you must uninstall the previous version.

Try this Release x32 version. Before install - uninstall old version.
(This error is probably due to the fact that the version was in Debug)
I do not have 32 windows, so I can not test

Many Thanks Svansvan,

***edit***

What version number .NET Framework ? (it should be 4.+)
I have only 64 bit Windows 7. I can only compile in 32. Only one person with a 32 bit version left a tip (in russian forum - all works), but it has windows 10.
By the way, I do not guarantee the work in Windows 10 too (it works, but there are 3 bugs)
With this data, I can not know what the problem is: something is wrong with your system or is it a problem in my code.
People download, but do not leave comments
In this case, I upload the source code. Can someone help you faster. I did not get to fixing the problems in Windows 10 (and I do not know when it will be)

Last Try (added strong named key for dll`s + fix assembly):

Hi,
i have .NET 4.5.1 installed. And only Win7Pro.
I will try your latest x32 and report back.

Thanks a lot!

If it does not work at all, try update .NET to 4.6 version and restart PC.
do you have this path: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\RegAsm.exe
if folder v4.0.30319 not exist, try find in folders(subfolders) C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework program RegAsm.exe
This program is needed to register 2 dll`s (WindowsShell.dll, NsEx3.dll).
copy RegAsm.exe to install folder (where placed NetworkADB.exe)
in console (run console as administrator!) run:
1) RegAsm.exe WindowsShell.dll /codebase
2) RegAsm.exe NsEx3.dll /codebase
in output you can see like: Types are registered successfully
In general, the entire installation is reduced to registering these two dll files using the .NET program regasm.exe
If the registration is successful - everything will work.
After, using Task Manager - kill process explorer.exe, and run new task explorer.exe (restart explorer.exe)
This is the maximally-extended technical documentation that I could give.

Hi Svansvan,

yes i have the folders and the exe.
First i will update to 4.6.x .NET , restart and do as you said.
I will report back, thanks for your great help!

***edit*** according to the check of the DWORD in the registry as mentioned on this page https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh925568(v=vs.110).aspx#net_d
I have 4.6.2 already installed, so far so good.


***2nd edit*** i have a nsext3.dll, but not nsex3.dll also not a windowsshell.dll, can you provide them please?

Thanks a lot!

Hi svansvan!!

For me it worked at first without having to do anything, just install it.

I have Windows 10 x64, Samsung Galaxy S5 with Nemesis Reborn ROM and Phoenix v13 kernel.

Only thing i miss is an option to change permissions.

Thanks!!!

 

[svansvan]

Finally someone left a comment. Many thanks!
Without this, I did not want to continue my work

Only thing i miss is an option to change permissions.

Just now i worked on this (and installation APK file progress dialog... etc...)

-----
But first, I want to understand why does not work on Windows x32

---------------------------------------------------

i have a nsext3.dll, but not nsex3.dll also not a windowsshell.dll, can you provide them please?

download NetworkADB-x32.zip and unzip (not run in zip folder(program) view) in SEPARATE Folder file NetworkADB.exe
and run it and click install.
You must have the following files in your folder:
--------
adb.exe - from android sdk
adbwinapi.dll - from android sdk
adbwinusbapi.dll - from android sdk
NetworkADB.exe - installator
nsex3.dll - need register
regasm.exe - from .NET (for registration nsex3.dll and windowsshell.dll)
windowsshell.dll - need register
--------
And yes, in OLD version It was nsext3.dll, But in the new version it is called nsex3.dll (without 't').
And there can not be not present windowsshell.dll ! Physically just can not be that it was not present.
The only thing I can think of - is that it for some reason removes antivirus program.
I specifically downloaded it again and installed it. Everything is there.
Just in case, I attached it to you separately:
View attachment windowsshell-dll.zip
but it is not necessary, if everything is done correctly

in console (run console as administrator!) run:
1) RegAsm.exe WindowsShell.dll /codebase
2) RegAsm.exe NsEx3.dll /codebase
in output you can see like: Types are registered successfully

If the registration is successful - everything will work.
After, using Task Manager - kill process explorer.exe, and run new task explorer.exe (restart explorer.exe)

Hi Svansvan,
i did as you described above.
It al registers perfectly. But starting the program still gives the Just in Time Debug error.
Is there something that need to be done in Visual Studio which needs to be enabled, just like the error messsage says (in above post) ?

Sorry for all this trouble. Hoep you can find what the issue can be.

Have a good weekend.

Only thing i miss is an option to change permissions.
Thanks!!!

New version in header 0.0.3 - permissions
-----
Only x64. As far as I understand, x32 version - no working (I do not know why yet)

Thank you very much svansvan.

It's working for me with no issues... it's perfect.:good:

thanks again

 

[svansvan]

Thank you very much svansvan.

There is only one bug: if open two (or more) windows explorers with the same folder.
You change the permissions in one window. In other windows they do not visually change
You need to refresh them (right click in context menu - refresh or reload)
The case is rare and insignificant, but it's a bug.
