Error when trying to enable ASUS Devices plugin

[lukereative]

I get this error when trying to enable ASUS Devices plugin using the latest with a fresh install Artemis Core version 2.0-a21f1a, build 20210609.1

Exception:

System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (RGB.NET threw exception: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {05921124-5057-483E-A037-E9497B523590} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).)

Hi Luke,

Did this work before? From the looks of the error the ASUS service couldn't be reached. Please make sure you're running Armory Crate in the background.

PS: If your hardware is supported by OpenRGB I recommend using that instead, but we can try fixing this :)

Oh sorry, I didn't realise you needed Armory Crate installed (I'd removed it to use OpenRGB instead) - installing it get's it working, thanks!

Unfortunately my LED strip (connected to the motherboard header) doesn't come through from OpenRGB so can't use that at the moment.
