DarylBarber2003

I have installed my Go-Flight MCP, ensured the .net 3.5 and 4.6.2 are up to date (no updates available in automatic updates except the additional language packs and the installed the latest GIT for X-plane and pointed it to my X-Plane 11 installation. install goes fine but when trying to launch the application I get an "Application halted" error. the contents of the windows error log are below. Can you point me in the right direction please?

I am running X-Plane 11 x64 on Windows 7 x64 all updated as stated above and on an Intel i7 2700k, Asus Sabertooth P67 motherboard.

Try running GIT as Administrator in case there is a security issue.

Thx
Steve

PS: GIT will be attempting to contact the registration server so it could be firewall or anti-virus related.

Hi thanks for the response, I have turned off AV and firewall, reinstalled as administrator (always do this anyway) and started the app as administrator but the same error occurs. Error window screenshot attached.

When I clear the first error window a second appears - attached.

Have you changed UIAutomationcore.dll to the old vista one to fix FSX issues?

DarylBarber2003

possibly when I still had fsx a couple of years back.

admin_pps

That's the issue. uiautomationcore.dll should have gone into the FSX directory and not into c:\Windows\system32 as was wrongly advised to many people as it breaks other applications that need to use it.

Google for a replacement dll file for Windows 7 and update it in c:\windows\system32 and GIT should start OK.

Best wishes
Steve

Cheers Steve I'll do that now and let you know.

Hi Steve

last night I took a copy of the UIAutomaioncore.dll from my up-to-date windows 7 laptop and dropped it onto my gaming PC in C:\Windows\System32 (I checked everyone had full permissions to run it) , then ran chkdsk but still the same outcome I'm afraid.

admin_pps

You need to do what was in that thread - a system file check and then reinstall of the .NET Framework.

Thx
Steve

Sorted, the uiautomationcore.dll file I copied from my laptop had encryption applied by McAfee end point encryption so took one off my personal laptop and Bob as they say is your uncle.
