Notes about ENLIGHTEN's integration with KnowItAll.

Basic dataflow:

Controller <--> KIA.Feature <--> KIA.Wrapper <--> KIAConsole.exe <--> KnowItAll
\_____________Enlighten_(Python)___________/      \_____C++____/

Dependencies

You can download KnowItAll here:

• https://get.knowitall.com

Implementation

See these Python classes:

• enlighten::KnowItAll::Feature::Feature
• enlighten::KnowItAll::Wrapper::Wrapper
• enlighten::KnowItAll::Config::Config

KIAConsole.exe is built from this C++ project:

• https://github.com/WasatchPhotonics/KnowItAllWrapper

Installation

Although KIAConsole.exe is built in 'Release', KnowItAll itself seems to need the "Debug" version of various Visual C++ Redistributable libraries, which don't come with Microsoft's standard vc_redist.exe installer (although that is now included and executed by ENLIGHTEN's installer...see scripts/Application_InnoSetup.iss).

Specifically, these three DLLs are required at runtime:

• msvcp140d.dll
• vcruntime140d.dll
• ucrtbased.dll

If you have Visual Studio installed, these files can be found in places like:

• Program Files (x86)/Microsoft SDKs/Windows Kits/10/ExtensionSDKs/Microsoft.UniversalCRT.Debug
• Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/VC/Redist/MSVC
• Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/bin

More specifically, there are both 32- and 64-bit versions of each file, which need to be installed into System32 (64-bit) and SysWOW64 (32-bit) respectively. Appropriate versions of each file are provided in dist/Windows in the appropriate subdirectories, and are installed by InnoSetup.
