BETA Update V4.2.2018.26800 Client failed start...

[Kulbit 0]

Hi Simon,

after updating at STB Client BETA Update V4.2.2018.26800 for Prepar3D-V4.2 and V4.3 ,

the Client itself failed to start  without any error message..

I simply applied the update on the existing version but now it refuse to start.

What's wrong? How can I solve the problem ?

 Do I have to delete the program and reinstall from the beginning adding the update?

 

Many thanks for the help !!

I don't think this is a problem with how the update was installed, but something else.

Can you check Windows event viewer please?  This is where error messages go now when STB fails before I get control to do anything useful.  It's usually a Windows or evnironment issue.

Thanks

Simon

This is a new one....

Can you visit your STB Install folder, find "Utilities.dll", right click and tell me what it says please on the "Details" tab?

Also do you have Utilities.pdb in that folder also?

Thanks

Simon

Simon,

 

i have both Utilities.dll and Utilities.pdb

 

Here the details tab of .dll

Thanks - your DLL appears to be correct.  Still not clear why this is happening, the Microsoft help for these exceptions talks in very vague terms.  Maybe next I'll try adding some debug code to help.

Thanks

Thanks anyway Simon !!

I will try to re-install base program and update.

This one is hard to debug, because I can't reproduce it and it happens so early in the life of STB the framework adds little value to the exception.

Can you also check the messages.dll and simulator.dll, and provide the same information as you did earlier for utilities.dll?

Thanks
Simon

Simon,

this is it...  BTW even after a full vanilla reinstallation of STB plus the upgrade I've got the same. Clients don't start....

 

[flying-w 50]

The real challenge here is there is so little information (thanks Microsoft) about the actual cause, it could actually be many things.  What was the version number that last worked for you?  I can do a code comparison, but FileHelper (which is active at the time of the problem) hasn't changed much at all lately.

Simon

The next beta will have some code to better detect this kind of error.  Meanwhile there's only been one report of this problem so far.
