I have .NET Framework 4.5.2 installed and this appears to be the latest.

Hi,
When I launch the Physics X Configurator I get a Microsoft .NET Framework window with the following exception:
System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "
I've tried uninstalling/re-installing Sim Physics X v.1.9.0.0 and this hasn't helped.
I'm running Win7 64bit (UAC disabled) and using FSX SP2 (FSUIPC v.4.939m).
If I press 'Continue' the Configurator will open, but neither the FSX Path or FSUIPC version is retrieved.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. A quick update, just for info:
My workaround currently is to 'Disable desktop composition' in FSC 9 properties so that Aero is disabled when FSC starts. Strangely when running FSX and I restart Aero FSC continues to work fine, the issue only occurs if I start FSC with Aero active.
-
Chris: FSX should disable Windows visual themes when running anyway? That's part of the default settings when running it on Vista and Win7, certainly.
Hi Ian. Yes FSX does disable Windows Aero when it runs, however as I mentioned in my post I restart Aero after FSX starts so that I can get the performance increase from running 'half vertical sync refresh rate' in Windowed Mode.
I would expect FSC to work with Aero mode, and I suspect it does for most. It could well be an Nvidea driver issue.

Hi Volker,
After some investigation I have found that this issue only occurs when Windows Aero is active. If I disable Aero or kill the dwm.exe process then the issue does not occur.
Do you have any issues when using an Aero theme (I'm guessing not). I'm finding this issue in particular as I restart Aero after FSX has started so I can benefit from the half vertical sync refresh rate tweak in Windowed Mode.
I have upgraded my graphics driver today and the problem still occurs. I'm using an Nvidia GTX480 and it is possible that the graphics driver is causing issues with Aero and FSC.
Hopefully this issue can be resolved at some point.

Hi Volker,
Thanks for your quick reply. Yes I did install the new version as administrator and I've just tried another fresh install and the same issue still happens.

Hi.
Since upgrading to FSC 9.2.2 I have been having difficulty with the Waypoint/RWY/Gate Window (the window that is opened from the Flight Plan window). On most occasions I can't click on the window, it is as if it is inactive, any attempt to click on it just acts as a click on the main FSC window.
I have uninstalled and installed again using the full 9.2.2 installer from Aerosoft. I'm using FSX SP2 with FSUIPC 4.86 on Win7 SP1 64bit.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. At present I am unable to select the start position for my flight plan.
