FTX Central corrupted with "unhandled exception" error message


George de Tuncq

Recommended Posts

The previous posts dealing with this error message do not apply in this case so here I am.


 


When I click on the FTX Central icon I get the blue Loading screen and then this error message.  


 


"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.  If you click continue the application will ignore the error and attempt to continue.  If you click quit the application will close."  It will not continue.


 


Based on previous posts I have tried the following to no avail.


 


Reinstalled the latest library. checked that the autogen Default file is indeed an xml, ran restore points from 1 day and 3 days before the problem, tried to reinstall an area to renew the FTX Central file and done numerous cold and warm boots.  Nothing helps.


 


Is there a doctor in the house?

Thanks for spotting this when I posted it in the wrong forum Ed.  Here is the error message and I freely admit I understand not one part of it.

Hello Ed,


 


Looking for a fix I went to the Microsoft support site.  There were many threads pertaining to the error message that I have.  It seemed to say that my .NET installation might be at fault.  It suggested going to Control Panel, finding .NET and choosing "uninstall or change".  That gave me the choice to repair or uninstall.  I ran repair, rebooted and tried FTX Central.  It gave me the same error message.  At least we now know that my .NET is OK.

Hi George,

 

In this particular case there seems to be a problem with one of you orbx_cpl*.xml files. The issue is happening when trying to load up one of these files as an XML document. Perhaps it's been malformed or something but one of them cannot be read properly.

Can I please get you to reply to this post, attaching all of your orbx_cpl*.xml files and I'll see if I can find the culprit. Then it will be a matter of providing you with the original version of the offending file.

 

EDIT: You'll find the orbx_cpl*.xml files in the <<FSX>>\Orbx\Scripts folder.

Hello Adrian,


 


I found the files and copied them into a folder.  That's the good news.


 


I am unable to get them pasted into this space after copying them.  I have never had that happen before.  I am using Google Chrome.  Is it a peculiarity of Chrome?


 


I can attach them to an email.  They add up to 164 KB which will hopefully be OK with my ISP.


 


Do you have a better suggestion as to how to get these files to you?


 


George

Hi Adrian,


 


I ran the FTX Central that you sent me and got this error message.


 


"Runtime error locating the Registry entry for FSX.  Could not find file C:\FSX\ORBX\Scripts\FTXCentral\FTXCentral\FTXSettings.xml."


 


Thinking that might call for the FSTweaks registry repair tool I tried to download it from your site but got an error message that the page was not working.  I tried the FSTweaks site and got the same message.


 


I had a 2008 version of the utility and ran that.  I got the same error message when I tried to run FTX Central.


 


I tried re-installing OzSP4 and it installed OK so it is able to find the path to FSX.


 


Here are the contents of my FTXSettings.xml.


 


 


 


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

 

-<FTX_Settings>

 

<FSXRegistryKey>SOFTWARE\Microsoft\microsoft games\flight simulator\10.0</FSXRegistryKey>

 

<FSXRegistryValue>SetupPath</FSXRegistryValue>

 

<SceneryCFGLocation>Microsoft\FSX</SceneryCFGLocation>

 

</FTX_Settings>

 

 

Are we getting close?

Hi Adrian,

 

Sorry for the error.  It is now in FSX\ORBX\Scripts\FTXCentral.  When I click on FTC Central I now get this error message.
