Alex Toby 1284263 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Been playing Vpilot for quite a while now and keep getting the same error every time, 'Cannot find Vpilot, make sure you've typed the name right'. I've tried uninstalling it and installing it again and again but no sucess. Please Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Where are you "typing" vPilot? Don't you just launch it from the programs list or a shortcut icon?

Ross Carlson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 In order for me to be able to understand your issue, you will need to answer the questions I asked in my previous reply.

Alex Toby 1284263 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 I launched the launcher and installed it and then started the program from its shortcut icon but it says it cannot find the directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have no clue what could cause that issue ... if the install succeeded, the shortcut should point to the installed location of vPilot. Enter this in your start menu search box: %localappdata%\vPilot Do you see the installed vPilot files including vPilot.exe?

Alex Toby 1284263 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yes it sends me to the directory where the Vpilot.exe is but for some reason it still doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 What happens when you double click the vPilot.exe file? Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Toby 1284263 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 It says 'Window cannot find C:\User\Alex\AppData\Local\Vpilot\Vpilot.exe Make sure you've typed the name correctly,then try again'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 It says that when you double click directly on the exe file? (NOT the shortcut!) Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Toby 1284263 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 ITS says exactly the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I don't see how it's possible that Windows would say it can't find a file when you are clicking on the actual file itself.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 first things that come to mind is your registry entry is screwed up, or you have a pc tune-up utility installed that may have caused it, or you have a virus (sircam virus comes to mind, might not be the one you may have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if that virus could interfere with clicking the exe itself, or just when using shortcuts or start menu entries.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 not sure there, i got the sircam on my old setup about 7 years ago or so and i remember all my .exe's were pretty much returning the same error. once those worms attach they pretty much just make them shells. hoping thats not what hes got, but probably worth a scan with a reliable antivirus program.

Were you launching those exes through shortcuts/start menu or by double clicking directly on the exe itself in a Windows Explorer window?

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 couldnt tell ya from memory. my normal routine though is launch from the shortcut, if not go to the folder and launch it from there if the first one fails. but i cant be certain if thats what i did back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 What happens if you do this: 1) Hold down the Windows key and press R. (This will open the "run" box.) 2) Enter "%localappdata%\vpilot\vpilot.exe" without the quotes and press enter.
