Terence Wilson 984230 Posted November 7, 2019 at 07:04 PM Posted November 7, 2019 at 07:04 PM Any thoughts? I tried compatibility mode for windows 7,8. Also running as admin, checking I had .net framework 3.5 sp1. No joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence Wilson 984230 Posted November 7, 2019 at 11:51 PM Author Posted November 7, 2019 at 11:51 PM 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....

Ross Carlson Posted November 7, 2019 at 11:56 PM Posted November 7, 2019 at 11:56 PM Can you post a screenshot showing the vpilot window large enough so that I can read it?

Ross Carlson Posted November 8, 2019 at 01:18 AM Posted November 8, 2019 at 01:18 AM 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.

Terence Wilson 984230 Posted November 8, 2019 at 02:44 PM Author Posted November 8, 2019 at 02:44 PM vpilot -host seems to work just fine. What else should I try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted November 8, 2019 at 03:12 PM Posted November 8, 2019 at 03:12 PM 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?

Justin Shannon Posted November 8, 2019 at 03:29 PM Posted November 8, 2019 at 03:29 PM 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. https://audio.vatsim.net/docs/2.0/faq/common-issues Controller (C3), Los Angeles ARTCC Developer: xPilot, vATIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
