Hi, I already posted this in Hifi's legacy product forum but no answer yet after three days so tought of asking here too, here it goes:

 

"Hello, Looking thru my back up files, I found Xpax and decided to re-install it, when I tried to start the program, it gives me an error, the dialog box title is "Microsoft NET Framework" and it "unhandled exception has occured with you application etc" , with a detail, continue or quit button.

The program still does not start even if I press continue, the message comes back until I press quit. I did tried to re-install NET Framework but it says it is already on the system ?

Any work around ? By the way, I use fsx on W7 64bits, DEP is disabled, no antivirus.

Thanks in advance

Alain from Montreal"

Please post the exact error message details.

here it is:

 

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

 

 

Thank you Jim to look into that !

No idea. Best to submit a ticket at the HiFi site.

It most likely means your simconnect is not installed properly. I have the latest update to XPax and my XPAX_Engine.exe program is version 1.0.0.20. Your version is 1.0.0.23 which is higher than mine. That is strange.

 

Best regards,

Jim

I applied the latest update, thinking it could help, maybe it is why our version # is different; I reinstalled simconnect but same result...

 

Thanks guys..

Ps I tried to submit a ticket  to Hifi but after completing form and writing security code correctly, the form reset without accepting it....

 

I applied the latest update, thinking it could help, maybe it is why our version # is different; I reinstalled simconnect but same result...

 

Make sure your Microsoft Visuals are up-to-date. Here's a link to the latest versions of MSV 2005, 2008, and 2010 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26347 , http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26368 , and http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999. Uninstall the program and run a freeware registry cleaner then reinstall.

 

I do not have the C:/Windows/assembly/GAC_MSIL/Microsoft.VisualBasic/8.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll installed on my system.  This is a Microsoft.net component.  I do have the version you have installed but just not in that folder.  Make sure you have Microsoft.net versions 1.1 through 4.5 installed on your system.  You can check to see what versions are installed by going to C:\Windows\Microsoft.net\Framework (x86)\then the versions.  To verify they are installed properly, use the following verification tool - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/10/13/8999004.aspx.

 

Best regards,

Thanks Jim for your suggestions, unfortunately, it did not work.. submit a ticket to HIFI, hopefully they have seen that error before and know how to fix it ? will report back in a few days...

 

Thanks

 

Alain from Montreal

Thanks Alain.  Please do report back if you find a fix. The HiFi people are great to work with (at least that has been with my sessions with them) and they respond very fast. I did Google your error and found information that led me to make my recommendations above.  If they had seen the error before it should have shown up in Google.  Good luck!

 

Best regards,

Jim

Update !

 

After less than a day after submitting a ticket to HIFI, Damian Clark found the solution, Windows Media Player was not checked in Control Panel/ Programs and Features/ Turn Windows Features on or off/ Media Features, after an uninstall/ reinstall, all is well !

 

Thanks to all and especially Damian and Dave Opper, top notch customer service !

 

Alain from Montreal

Glad you got it fixed Alain!  I knew the HiFi folks would come up with a solution.  I would never have guessed it was a problem with the Windows Media Player!

 

Best regards,

Jim
