Unhandled exception FG 2016.4.3

Postby edroberts1943 » Mon Dec 26, 2016 11:44 pm

I have been running the previous release of FG on Windoz 10. I uninstalled it and loaded FG2016.4.3. Starting from the desktop icon, the program just dies--no info. I uninstalled and tried again with the same result. I ran fgfs in a command window and an unhandled exception was detected (I lost the exception on t he clip board, unfortunately.) Any ideas ?

is that 32bit or 64bit win10?
if you can reproduce the problem and grab the exception to the clipboard for pasting here, that would be great!

"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

It is 64 bit Windows.

I solved the problem (eliminating the ability to re-create it) by manually removing every file I could find associated with flightgear, including the install file,the downloading the install file again and reinstalling. There are many files the uninstall of FG does not remove.

Obviously, fixing the problem this way leaves a mystery unsolved.

Thanks for your interest,

Next time, keep a copy of $FG_HOME/fgfs.log and/or the console output... But thank you for sharing your method with other users!
