Null parameter 'uriString' when installing BFGMiner

Open TheFizzWare opened this issue 4 years ago • 10 comments

After seeing the "No copy of BFGMiner was detected. Would you like to download and install BFGMiner now?" prompt and clicking "yes", I get the following unhandled null argument exception:

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>

</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

This is on a new installation of MultiMiner on Windows 10.

same here. how to install it manually?

I'd like to know as well - it would be very helpful if someone with a working MultiMiner w/ BFGMiner installation could post their file tree structure to help us identify the way BFGMiner is installed onto the system to assist us in doing so manually.

@felendaren You linked to the 32bit version.

Workaround for 'Null parameter 'uriString' when installing BFGMiner'

  1. Download correct BFGMiner (64bit or 32bit) from http://bfgminer.org/
  2. Go to wherever MultiMiner is installed
    • create a new folder called Miners and in that folder create another new folder called BFGMiner
    • The path should be .\MultiMiner\Miners\BFGMiner\
  3. Extract ~\Downloads\bfgminer-5.5.0-win64.zip to ~\Downloads\bfgminer-5.5.0-win64
    • Copy or Cut the contents inside ~\Downloads\bfgminer-5.5.0-win64\**
    • Paste them to .\MultiMiner\Miners\BFGMiner\**
    • Can now delete ~\Downloads\bfgminer-5.5.0-win64.zip & ~\Downloads\bfgminer-5.5.0-win64
  4. Now launch .\MultiMiner\MultiMiner.Win.exe

If it's the cost of hosting which in the problem, how about using the new Azure Static Web App, which I understand allows free hosting (or at least much cheaper in case there are hidden fees) including SSL which we need to be certain only the correct miner update is downloaded. Only restriction I can see is you must publish from a GitHub repository. Sounds perfect, in case hosting is your problem?

The website has been taken down and you can no longer install the file off of github, does anyone have a recommendation for where I can get a reliable download of the most recent version of the file?
