ESJFS Won't Open

[dale152]

Hi. I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but I need your help.

I'm trying to run ESJFS, but nothing happens. I installed it into My Documents, I've tried loading as administrator and attempted to go through the compatibility trouble shooter. I double click the file and it just sits with the loading symbol for a few seconds and nothing happens.

Windows 10, latest version.

Thanks

ESJFS doesnt need any type of installation.

But it must be run from the folder you extracted.

Ie all files must be in the same folder.

That's understood, I am opening it from the folder in which it is installed into. Nothing happens, just appears with the 'loading' symbol.

This sounds like anti virus software is blocking ESJFS because it thinks it's a virus.

Do you get the windows firewall exception window asking if you want to allow ESJFS through your firewall?

Are you running anti virus software?

I immediately uninstalled McAfee when I purchased my computer, and windows defender is turned off. ESJFS worked for me last year on the same device.

And no I'm not getting asked if I'm sure I want to run.

Does Windows Event Viewer shine any light on what is stopping the app from opening?

It's been a while since I looked at the app.
I'm not sure if SimConnect needed to be installed or not.

Do you have a sim installed?

Event viewer isn't showing anything. I just feel like it's incompatible with the latest version of Windows. I have X-Plane 11 installed.

I think it'll be because it's looking for SimConnect which is used for the FSX/P3D option.

Get SimConnect from here it's only small.
Run the .msi in the XPACK folder and ESJFS should work.

Off the top of my head I wrote ESJFS with .net 4.5 so the latest windows is probably using .net 4.8 which is fine.

Hi. It's working. Thank you for your help.

No problem.
Thanks for letting me know.
