I have already removed this folder and reinstalled both RAAS and fs2crew for the crj, but the error is still coming up. What is weird is that "A" folder hasn't reappeared even after reinstalling FS2crew.

Can you post the "user.config" file so we can see it's content? and compare with mine here? (You can open up with Notepad)

Manuel

yes, where is the user.config file located?

ok never mind i found it. below is the contents of the user.config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <userSettings>
        <FS2CrewFOProgram.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="HasSetDefaults" serializeAs="String">
                <value>True</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="Location" serializeAs="String">
                <value>2050, 130</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="SetDlgHasSetDef" serializeAs="String">
                <value>True</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="SetDlgLocation" serializeAs="String">

Is that all the content?, then its wrong....

What's the full path where you found that file? ...

It should be something like:

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\FS2CrewFOProgram

If you find MULTIPLE folder which starts with "FS2Crew_CRJ_for_MSFS.exe_", you can delete ALL those folders and restart the FS2Crew program, and it should recreate it.

there is a missing part....it should be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
    <userSettings>
        <FS2CrewFOProgram.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="HasSetDefaults" serializeAs="String">
                <value>True</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="Location" serializeAs="String">
                <value>2050, 130</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="SetDlgHasSetDef" serializeAs="String">
                <value>True</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="SetDlgLocation" serializeAs="String">
        </FS2CrewFOProgram.Properties.Settings>
    </userSettings>
</configuration>

The following part is missing in your file's content:

        </FS2CrewFOProgram.Properties.Settings>
    </userSettings>
</configuration>

That's why its throwing the error. You need to open "user.config" with notepad or any text editor and add that part...so it looks like what i show above and save the changes. This is weird, maybe the program exited due to a crash or something and it wrote a wrong file.

Cheers,

Manuel
