Crestron Master Installer

This is the basic installation of the Crestron CLX Intelligent Lighting System. This is the process to place the modules in the enclosure and wire them up. Crestron Master Technology Architect (MTA) Master Technology Architect certification shows that you have the required skill set to properly design Crestron solutions. The MTA program grows each year and challenges you to not only know the products, but to also gain a deeper understanding of the technology and apply it to designing Crestron systems. I'm new to Crestron and just getting setup with the training and applications. I completed the intro and it mentioned the Master Installer which would install all applications, but I cannot find it anywhere on the site. There was even a link to the Master Installer on the course registration page, but it took me to a blank page on the website.

Newtonsoft.Json version 3.5.0.0

Crestron Master Installer Tool

#236606

Does anyone know how to get Newtonsoft.Json version 3.5.0.0 back on my system? I'm getting this error message when trying to compile
Do I have to reinstall VS2008 from scratch?
Error (Line 26) - polycomgroupseriesdriver3.0.17.dll cannot be used due to it's dependancy on Newtonsoft.Json.Compact, version 3.5.0.0. The system is using Newtonsoft.Json.Compact version 4.0.8.0
Thanks

Downgrade to a DB version less than 200

If you have the misfortune of having other modules that are dependent on DB 200 or greater you’re going to either need to reach out to the author of the module and get them to recompile it with DB version 200 (upgrading the dependency) or isolate some portion of the logic in different program slots (one with post DB200 and one pre DB200)

Also if you haven’t cleaned them out you may have them locally in C:Program Files (x86)CrestronDownloads or similar

I intentionally keep 3-4 versions of everything on my laptop just in case – given the number of sites I wind up on where Internet access isn’t available/permitted.

Thank you very much Lincoln. I owe you one. :P

For reference the Polycom Group Series driver is being updated to function with Newtonsoft.Json.Compact version 4.0.8.0. I don’t know exactly when it is going to be released but it is coming.

Can you please explain how to downgrade the database to an older version? Never have done that before. Thanks,
#236689

All you need to do is install a database version that’s less than 200.

If you’re using MasterInstaller and haven’t cleaned up/deleted old versions after installation these can be found in C:Program Files (x86)CrestronDownloads

Otherwise you can download them from the Crestron FTP site.

I'm having the same issue with Cisco Room Devices 4.0 which says it works with Device DB 200.00.004.00 and later, but I guess it doesn't.
#236717

The latest version of SIMPL and Toolbox require Crestron DB and Device DB versions 200+ (at least Master Installer says they are dependent). So you may need to back down SIMPL to 4.11.06.01 and Toolbox to 3.05.223.0. I'm not sure if there are other dependencies. D3 and Studio are probably the same way. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
For the list of Application Market modules that are affected by this, search for 'Application Market modules affected list' on labs. QSC Q-Sys isn't on the list, but should be.

Edited

its a pain in the butt to get this to work. What i have had to do is:
Download the cisco RD 4.0 demo from the application market.
Import into simpl - v.4.14.20 with both databases 200+. so update everything.
import to project folders. not user folders
compile. should compile clean
take every file in that demo folder and copy into your project folder you are working on.
now it should compile clean.
its best to keep the demo files in a separate folder in case you get another project with a cisco RD module.
crestron is still working on these issues. but this has been a work around for the time being.
#236799

I was just searching for this subject and came across this thread. I hope after 10 days you found the solution. You have to revert your crestron and device databases back to <200. I was hoping to find anyone who has found a better solution. Rolling back or running a VM is not convenient or piratical. There are certain modules that this bombs on i.e. nest v1.4 module, written by crestron and some others. I realize things have to advance, but at the same time we still have to maintain older stuff where updates are not available.
#236802

Crestron had indicated that any of their/application market modules that used Newtonsoft would be updated before DB 200 was released – obviously that wasn’t the case.

The good news is aside from having to close SIMPL windows, etc. it’s relatively painless to roll databases backwards and forwards but I do think it’s somewhat insane that this is such a breaking change. The looming catastrophe will be those cases where new modules require DB 200 need to be used in systems with older/orphaned modules that only work pre-DB 200. On processors with multiple program slots there’s an inelegant/clumsy workaround of putting things in their own program slots but for single-slot processors (e.g. MPC3, RMC3 or MC4 without slots 2-10 licensed) that’s not an option – and for the processors where it is an option it’s not a good one.
