+======= Known Issues (ACE Software) ======
+You can return to the ACE WIKI Homepage here:
+**[[resources:tools-software:ace|ACE Homepage]]**
+===== ACE Offline Installation, Application Won't Start =====
+In some cases after using the ACE offline installer on a machine that has no connection to the internet the ACE application will seem to install as expected but will not load or will close while the splash screen is loading the application. On checking the application log file you will see an error message similar to the one below:
+**"ERROR: A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority."**
+This happens when the certs on the offline machine are out of date. There are a number of things that could be in need of an update but it is most likely the intermediate cert, this can be updated easily by following these steps:
+    - Download the latest cert from here [[http://cacerts.digicert.com/DigiCertTrustedG4CodeSigningRSA4096SHA3842021CA1.crt|DigiCertTrustedG4CodeSigning]]
+    - Copy this cert to the offline machine
+    - Right click on the cert file and click "Install Certificate" in the context menu
+    - Retry the ACE application (you may need to restart the machine)
+If there are still issues with the certs and the error is still occurring, you can also try the following to update all of the windows certs on an offline machine:
+  * Get the latest cert updates file for windows certs here [[http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/authrootstl.cab|MSDownload authrootstl.cab]]
+  * You need to extract or copy the STL file from the .cab file and can use Powershell of CMD to install all of the certs in the file.
+  * There are details in this article on how you can install from this file - https://www.itechtics.com/update-root-certificates/
+If you are still observing the issue at this point, please contact us on ACE support at [[mailto:ace.portal@analog.com|ace.portal@analog.com]].

-As of version 1.14, ACE replaces the driver of the on-board controller to avoid any of the conflicts with VISA drivers listed below and installs the DPGDownloaderLite application to replace the High-Speed DAC Software Suite.
+As of version 1.15, ACE includes an option to use ADI SDP driver for the on-board USB controller to avoid any of the conflicts with VISA drivers listed below and another option to install the DPG Lite application to replace the High-Speed DAC Software Suite.

-The recommended action if you are actively using these High-Speed DAC Eval Boards with dedicated SPI applications is to not update to ACE version 1.14 or install version 1.13 available [[http://swdownloads.analog.com/ACE/ACEInstall_1.13.2728.1194.exe|here]].

-For ACE version 1.13 and earlier, there is a known driver conflict issue between the NI VISA driver and Keysight's VISA driver (used for automation of equipment). To work around this, try setting the Keysight VISA driver as the secondary VISA driver. This can be done with the Keysight installer. If this doesn't work, you may need to uninstall the Keysight Driver.\\

+===== IIO Controllers not being detected =====
+=== Using ACE (x86) ===
+IIO currently does not work with ACE x86. It requires the 64-bit version of ACE.
+=== IIO WCF Wrapper ===
+If you're having issues with IIO controllers and are seeing a console application opening up along with ACE called IIOWCFServerHelper or LibIIO WCF Server, you might be running older versions of the IIO packages and can possibly encounter issues when loading plugins.
+{{:resources:tools-software:ace:iiowrapperdetecteddevice.png?direct&600|}}
+To resolve this, you'll need to update your packages using the ACE plugin manager.
+  - Open ACE and navigate to the **Plug-in Manager** using the sidebar on the left.
+  - Click on the **Available Updates** tab.
+  - Click Update All and wait for the process to complete. Restart ACE if you're prompted to do so.
+  - Repeat the process one more time to make sure all packages are updated.
+=== Visual Studio redistributables ===
+Visual Studio 2013 redistributables are required for IIO controllers to be detected in ACE. If your IIO controller isn't being detected try downloading the redistributables from here: [[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784]].
+Restart ACE after the installaion.
+===== Contact ACE Support =====
