1.4.8 Crashes with a FileNotFound error

[picnic]

Just tried upgrading my server to 1.4.8 but when I run it the joinFS dialog appears briefly then Window's tells me it's stopped working.

Event viewer reports

Code: Select all

Problem signature:
P1: joinfs.exe
P2: 1.0.0.0

P5: 1.0.0.0

P9: System.IO.FileNotFoundException

I also have 1.4.3 stable on this machine and that runs fine. Being a 'server' there in no FS installed. Is this something I can fix?

[Peter]

That error message gives a hint at the problem but isn't quite enough information.

Was there a button to show more details of the crash? If not, you could try opening the Windows Event Viewer and finding the Error in the Application log. Hopefully there will be some more detail there.

Peter

[picnic]

Sadly no Show More button. Event Viewer essentially just has what I've already reported, the XML file includes data about Windows and the computer but no file names. The Event Viewer link to a file in ProgramData doesn't exist. I've just noticed that the report is made multiple times as if there are several files not accessible.

Where does the test version store its files, I have an appdata/local/joinFS but no appdata/local/joinFS (test) - should that exist?

[Peter]

Test version uses the same files.

Could you run the stable version. Enable logging to a file. Then run the test version. After it crashes, look at the log - current file and post the details, thanks.

Peter,

We have a gent that "Had" the same problem.
Going thru the 1.4.3 test run, logging, then back to point 8 pretty much let us know what was up..
A simconnect reinstall (all of them except Russian) from the "redist" took care of it.

Done that, in fact turned on detailed logging too. File contains one line

That's it I'm afraid.

EDIT: Just tried renaming the folder and 1.4.8 creates a new folder and a log file in there. Where are the settings saved? Is this in the Registry cos it knew to create the log file.

[Peter]

Settings are saved in the registry. Try searching for a JoinFS and you should find them.

Does a SimConnect reinstall work, as described above?

Peter

[picnic]

As i said this is on a server with no FS so I've not installed SimConnect on it. 1.4.3 works would you expect different behaviour here with 1.4.8?

[Peter]

That's possibly related. Until very recently it was a requirement to have SimConnect installed otherwise JoinFS wouldn't run. However, I removed that link to allow it to run successfully. I wonder if something has broken that change?

[aeronauta]

Something has changed as I had the same crash and installed the simconnect .msi 10.0.61259.0 from P3D redist \FSX-SP2_Xpack and the crash is gone...win 10 latest fixes.( new system installed yesterday).

Jorge

[picnic]

Ok I can confirm that it's a the SimConnect missing that makes a difference. I also installed the redist\FSX-SP2_Xpack from P3D and now 1.4.8 runs without crashing.

Thanks all.

[picnic]

Something else to throw in here is 1.4.3 stable has a User Column called Simulator, this shows not connected.

1.4.8 has a connected column which shows Yes. If this is to the simulator it can't be as I don't have one installed.

Is this part of the same issue as needing SimConnect?

[picnic]

Well that was rubbish! If I make the user window wider I see the last column is Simulator and it says Not Connected on 1.4.8.

So what's 1.4.8 Connected column telling me?

[Peter]

Do you mean the user list entry for yourself? The 'Connected' column refers to your network connections to each user, so it should always be Yes for your own entry in that list since your always connected to your own client. That should never show up as No for yourself and it's nothing to do with the connection to your simulator.

Hi.
The program crash to me.
W10 and x-plane 11.
Crash at start.

[Peter]

Hi,

That's a known issue with version 1.4.8. Will be fixed in version 1.4.9.

Can you use the stable version for now, please, http://pmem.uk/joinfs/install.html. That should work.

Peter

[xplane-espanol]

Yes 1.4.3 works, but in X-Plane have some problems that is posible that solved in 1.4.8
Waiting for 1.4.9
Thanks.
