Hi, I just built my very first gaming build yesterday using an ASUS Z87-A mobo and an Intel Core i3 4340 cpu, (full part list here) and I spent most of yesterday installing my drivers and such. But there is a problem. When I try to open AI Suite III or Remote GO! I always get this error message

Aisuite3

Invalid class string, ProgID:

"AsusFanControlService.FanControlManager"

Why is this happening?!? I really would like to fix it and use my new pc. Thanks!

interesting, this has happened before on many occasions.
This is worth a go:
Using a registry editor (e.g. regedit), go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\AsusFanControlService.EXE. Here you should look op the AppID of the AsusFanControlService. For me it was: {BEBCB884-9C21-4117-B30B-CED03A72B50F}.

Now navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{14083C53-B8E7-48E4-9320-811F3478C4A4} (the FanControlManager class). In here, create a new string value (not a key!). Make the name "AppID", and modify it to give it as data value the AppID you just found (for me that was "{BEBCB884-9C21-4117-B30B-CED03A72B50F}" like I mentioned before).

Reboot and you should be good to go.

When I go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\ I cannot find anything called AsusFanControlService.EXE. What should I do now?

Try reinstalling AI suite. I had that error happen a few times when I first built my computer but after an eventual reinstall things work well now. However I believe you need to run an AI suite cleaner at some point to fully get rid of everything left behind before you reinstall it (google to find)

THANKS MAN!
THIS WORKED FOR ME.


No more errors and the Suite (Thermal Radar) seems to be fully operational.

Second time it's happened after a registry cleanup.
The 'Cleaner' tool from Asus also works if you can get your hands on it, but this is a lot quicker.

[Asus AI Suite 3 (Thermal Radar 1.00.19) on Windows 8.1 Pro]
