resolved Force Migration Causes FTX Central to Crash

[KORDATC]

Hello, I was flying from ORD-SFO today and noticed that when I got over the Rockies just west of Denver, there were a ton of repeating tiles that did not look natural at all.  So I went into FTX Central to run a force migration.  When I do, FTX Central crashes and I get the following error message and report.

 

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: The invocation of the constructor on type 'Orbx.FTXCentral.MainWindow' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'D:\System Volume Information' is denied.

Did you install your simulator to the D drive without first making a folder for it?

Is it in D: or is it in D:\Your chosen folder name?

[KORDATC]

It is just in D:

 

[Nick Cooper]

I think you should create a folder for it, put all the files in that folder and amend the registry entries to suit.

As the error message states, FTX Central is trying to access protected system files that it should not be

able to see.

It will not be able to see them if you put the simulator into its own folder.

[KORDATC]

That fixed it! 

 

Thank You,

Rob
