New PC - Won't Open[SOLVED]

[nolatron]

Just built a new PC and getting everything reinstalled on it. I downloaded the Smarter 1.3 w/Maplog but I'm unable to get the app to open and I'm stuck on what might be causing it to not run.

Did you remember to install MakeRwys as stated in doc:)

[nolatron]

Sheesh. I think I read that 2 times and both times it didn't click.

All good now!

Brains do funny things sometimes.

My experience with the software applications I have developed over the years and users issues are:

1. Users do not read the documentation
2. Users read the documentation, but do not understand what is written
3. User read and understand the documentation, but do not follow what is written
4. Users read and understand , but the users brain miss some part of it.

Users that read, understand and follow exactly everything that is written do not have issues.

90 % of all issues fall within # 1-4 above.

You was a # 4.


The next update of SmartStarter has now a textmessage " MakekRwys.exe is not installed" displayed if MakeRwys.exe is missing.

I mark the topic as solved.

So I'm having a similar issue again with p3dStarter not wanting to open out of the blue. It was working fine last week so I'm not sure why it suddenly won't open. I did make sure to run MakeRwys this time, heh.

Here's what event Viewer is showing:

OC4BAv4 works fines, as well other applications that use .net. I've tried disabled and enabling the .net options Windows 10 control panel to no avail. Tried running as admin but no luck

Windows 10 Home build 19042
p3dStarter 1.1.0.0


Any suggestions for things check/try?

[mvr1918]

I believe you have now a newer Makerwys program and that it is using a little different format in the runways.xml file that p3dStarter uses.

Open the runway.xml in a text editor program, i.e Notepad.

Delete the 3rd line that starts with
<SimVersion>

then save and restart p3dStarter.


Tell me if it was successful, so I can make changes to the code in the next update of p3dStarter.

[nolatron]

Hmm, I don't have <SimVersion> line in the XML file.
