V pilot 'The parameter is incorrect'

I have just decided to fly on VATSIM using MSFS.

I therefore downloaded the latest stable version of  V Pilot.

When I click the shortcut link or even the.exe folder to open V Pilot, I get a box in the middle of my screen saying 'The parameter is incorrect'

V Pilot has been automatically installed in this location C:\Users\Myname\AppData\Local\vPilot

Has anyone else came across this problem on initial installation and know how to resolve it?

Can you post a screenshot of the error?

What messages do you have in the main vPilot window when this error pops up?

Hi Ross. Problem now sorted. I still had the vPilot screen for download still open. I closed my browser and restarted my PC. 

I am now setting up vPilot.

Thanks for your help

That must be a happy coincidence, since having the vPilot web site open could not cause that error message. Glad it's sorted out, anyway!
