I wanted to post this on AMD forums but I wasn't allowed.
recently uninstalled Ryzen Master after using it for months, with RevoUninstaller; however, I noticed a file called 'Athena' which was marked as a Ryzen Master file and I'd like to see if anyone knows what this is or does?
I went to the AMD_RyzenMaster Notepad log in my User folder and specifically searched for 'Athena' to see if I could gather context. here are some of the logs that mention Athena;
"C:\Program Files\AMD\RyzenMaster Desktop_Shortcut=1 INSTALL_ATHENA = 0"
"Property Change: Adding INSTALL_ATHENA property. its value is 0"
"Skipping action: Athena_RegRead_Up (condition is false)
"Doing action: CheckForAthenaSupportedRegion"
"Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIC.tmp, Entrypoint: CheckForAthenaSupportedRegion"
"Property Change: Adding INSTALL_ATHENA_SIL property. Its value is 1"
"CustomAction CheckForAthenaSupportedRegion returned actual error code 1603 but will be translated to success due to continue marking"
"CheckForAthenaSupportedRegion. Return value 1"
"Component: Athena.msi; Installed: Absent, Request: Local; Action: Local"
"Component: AthenaSDK.dll; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Local
"Executing op: FileCopy (SourceName= ATHENA~1.dll| AthenaSDK.dll, SourceCabKey= athenasdk.dll, DestName= AthenaSDK.dll" (this entry is what stops me from posting on AMD, not sure why)
"File: C:\Program Files\AMD\RyzenMaster\bin\AthenaSDK.dll; To be Installed; Won't patch; No existing file"
"Source for file 'athenasdk.dll' is compressed"
"INSTALL_ATHENA_SIL = 1"
"INSTALL_ATHENA = 0"
I also installed Ryzen Master briefly on my laptop (it doesn't have an AMD processor but it's the only other device I have), and uninstalled it with Control Panel, since I don't have Revo on the laptop. these are the only Athena-related things in the AMD_RyzenMaster log:
"Skipping action: Athena_RegRead_Up (condition is false)"
"Doing action: CheckForAthenaSupportedRegion"
"Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIC.tmp, Entrypoint: CheckForAthenaSupportedRegion"
"CustomAction CheckForAthenaSupportedRegion returned actual error code 1603 but will be translated to success due to continue marking"
"CheckForAthenaSupportedRegion. Return value 1"
"Athena.msi; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Null"
"AthenaSDK.dll; Installed: Absent; Request: Local; Action: Null"
what is this Athena stuff? AthenaSDK.dll, AthenaSupportedRegion, AthenaSIL, etc? is it a legitimate file for Ryzen Master, and if so, is there any reason why my PC has so many more Athena-related entries in the log compared to my laptop?
specifically curious about "Executing op: FileCopy", because my laptop does not share a FileCopy entry for AthenaSDK, like my computer does. anyway, would like to know if anyone knows what these are?
