omnirig class error

I run omni rig for my ft 710 and ic7000 (rigs 1 and 2 respectively), wsjtx, fldigi and anything else that works with omni rig is working fine.

in fact i usually have log4om and wsjtx running both connected to omnirig so that if i wanna do phone i dont have to mess around changing cat stuff around.

just installed varac and set to omnirig for cat and PTT control, but i keep getting this error and the ptt test and frequency stuff isnt working. Any help appreciated.

but even if i start omnirig manually it still doesnt see it. if i manually start omnirig it pops the omnirig window up which has the correct rig information in. but still refuses to connect with the following error: 01/02/2023 09:59:36 - OmniRig: Connecting to OmniRig...

01/02/2023 10:00:06 - OmniRig event: Rig: 1 Params:4 HexParams: 4 as for "installation" you have no option when you install omnirig as to where it puts it (program files\afreet) - that's a personal pet peeve of mine as i would rather keep it on a different drive, but hey, shouldn't matter right.

again... other programs work fine as i can subsequently connect another program to that running instance of omnirig without an issue.

Ok. thanks. I am personally working with OmniRig but unable to simulate. I will try to reserach this with the help of OmniRig author. stay tuned.

Well - I didnt get much from OmniRig author. he did ask to try one thing which I believe we did not try. I paste hie entre message here and I highlighted the suggestion to test that I would like to test:

"The error occurs when VarAC tries to create an instance of OmniRig, the cause is unknown. Things to try:

re-install OmniRig;

stop all other programs before starting VarAC;

run OmniRig manually before starting VarAC."

Please try this just to see if it works as it can give me a hint if it does.

Please also try with or without running VarAC as admin.
