ACTIVE Pesky FTX Exception Error - Fixed thanks to the Forum

[Hangar200]

Greetings All,
 
  Ran into the pesky FTX Exception Error again last night.  Fixed it by searching this forum and finding a similar problem . . . or rather a plethora of Exception Error problems but only one like mine.  The initial error: 
 

 
Followed by:
 


 
The debug data is included below.  The last time I had this error I "fixed" it by reloading NZNI.  Not wanting to do that again I found a post where Wolter suggested taking user control of the offending folder using the directions spelled out here:

Which finally worked.  (Thanks Wolter!    )

My question is what could have possibly caused that error? I have UAC off. I am the administrator. I hand,t touched FTX since I changed scenery areas a week ago. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. The only thing I can think of was a recent Windows update. Thoughts?

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Windows security updates are well known to change/reset folder permissions (for your safety of course!) this is why you should always install FSX in its own folder, and NOT in the default location...i.e the 'Program files x86' folder

LOL!   Yes, quite, "For our own safety" we wouldn't accidentally want to delete grandma's cookie recipe - much better that FTX gets flummoxed.  [Expletive Deleted] MS!
 
Now you tell me to put it in its own folder!   I've been flight summing since the mid 1980's (yes, before MS Flight Simulator!) and never knew that. You learn something new every day.
 
I'm thinking that a simple Cut/Paste move is not going to do the trick - that I would have to reinstall the whole kit & caboodle - probably too much to at this point but when its next time to do a full reload, that is what I shall do.
 
  Thanks for the advice and confirming that it was most likely the Windows update.
 
Happy Holidays!
