Any thoughts? I tried compatibility mode for windows 7,8. Also running as admin, checking I had .net framework 3.5 sp1. No joy.

The dialog is frozen so I had to transcribe by hand:

 

Microsoft .NET Framework

 

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application, if you click Continue....

Can you post a screenshot showing the vpilot window large enough so that I can read it?

Next, let's see if we can determine if the crash is happening in the AFV library or not. To do that, try running vPilot in either host mode or remote mode, without voice.

So that means it's a crash happening in the AFV library code. Can you post a new thread in the AFV forum with the screenshot that shows the error in clear detail?

This is actually a known issue, which can be fixed by downloading the Windows Media Feature Pack.

 

Unhandled Exception Retrieving the COM cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] factory for component with CLSID {F447B69E-1884-4A7E-8055-346F74D6EDB3}

 

This happens when using Windows 10 N or KN editions (for example on Parallels) because they do not contain the media foundation API's. Download and install https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3145500/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions to resolve the issue.
