Latest Development Release Not Working ?

[Southwest]

Hi All,

I downloaded the latest development release of Model Converter X this afternoon, unpacked the files, run the .exe as normal and I'm being told ''This application has stopped working'' ?

It was working fine last week when i downloaded it, has it been changed since then ?

Many thanks for the tool !

Hi,

No, it should still work. Actually this afternoon I just downloaded the latest development release at work as well and I had no problem using it there. So I am quite sure the files are OK. Could you try to download again and be sure to overwrite all files when extracting.

Still the same I'm afraid Arno,

Hi,

I suspect it is a problem when trying to read the registry settings for FS. Can you try the attached EXE that should hopefully give a better error message.

[Southwest]

Yes more clear,

An unexpected error occured

Message:
Access to the registry key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator X SDK' is denied.

StackTrace:
at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.Win32Error(Int32 errorCode, String str)
at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKey(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck permissionCheck, RegistrySecurity registrySecurity)
at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKey(String subkey)
at ModelConverterX.Program.Main()

Thanks - shall i run a registry tool ?

Hi,

I was looking a bit more at the code and I think with the attached version it should continue after this problem.

Ah - all working now Arno, i appreciate your help this evening.
