• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

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.

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.
