Error when launching CCDLAB on Windows 10 Version 21H2

[EAlexJ]

As far as I can tell the error above does not stop CCDLAB from working, just is a nuissance

[user29A]

It may have been missing a new registry entry which it required for setting up a new control recently added. I updated the registry with a fresh installer:

Since this error seems to be related, I decided to reopen the issue:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

The error is caused by the following line of code:
PSEKernelMaxUpD.Value = Convert.ToDecimal(REG.GetReg("CCDLAB", "PSECountValMax"));

Oh! It is that language culture thing again.

The value is supposed to be

9999999.999

but it looks from the error message that it is

9999999999

What happens is that 9999999,999 get changed to 9999999999 instead of 9999999.999 - or something.

It is reading the registry value in order to load the last-used settings. This control is almost never used, and is set to its maximum value which is 9999999.999. So when CCDLAB loads, it tries to set it to that value, but 9999999.999 gets converted to 9999999999 likely because of the problem of 9999999,999.

Can you change your number format preferences for your OS? Decimals should be ".", instead of ",". I think that there's a Windows setting for that. This is the same issue as with the AstraCarta call.

Following the guide on this microsoft psupport page and making sure the seperator is indeed a period instead of a comma solved this error aswell as allowing AstraCarta to return a query successfully.

TLDR: When using CCDLAB make sure the formatsetting in windows for decimals is a period (".").
