I have Windows XP SP3, .NET 3.5SP1, latest DirectX and drivers and MS patches and run FS9.When starting ASA, the status window shows me that weather data is downloaded, then a decryption takes place, then "Parsing line items" is displayed and a second later ASA quits and I have the desktop again. :(Help, please!Andreas

Hi,Sorry for the problem.Please post your asa_log.txt file.Is .NET2.0 installed on your system. The .NET versions are not inclusive.Thanks,

Last line in the log file (i.e. where it crashes) is:"Backwards Compatibility ASv6 Check/Copy problem: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Flight Simulator 9\Modules\ASv6\ASv6.exe'"I need to say here that I had ASv6 installed previously, but uninstalled that product and purchased the complete ASA package, not the upgrade to spare me the hassle of installing old ASv6 versions before upgrading. I deleted the traces of ASv6 and rebooted before installing ASA. So, I have no idea what the line in the log file means, since I have the full ASA package and no ASv6...I re-installed .NET3.5SP1 (includes .NET 2.0SP1 and 3.0) as well as the hotfixes for all .NET packages. .NET works since I have the ATI Catalyst control center running...ASA log file is attached.Andreas

I created [FS9Dir]\Modules\ASv6\ASv6.exe with 0 bytes (created folders as well) and voil
