DaviiB 0 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hi All, I'm running Windows 10 and shortly after the most recent Windows update, the Aerosot Updater has stopped working. When I run the program (in administrator mode) a blank white window opens for a few seconds, then closes. I've made no changes to my sim, or any Aerosoft products since it was working last. The only thing I can think of is a routine Windows update that happened recently. Can the updater alone be re-installed? Thanks in advance.

Beat578 32 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have the same problem. Since 2 Days, my Updater seems to start, then it get's black and the window disappears. I tried to reinstall one of the products, to make it appear again afterwards, but that did not do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted January 22, 2020 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hmm, no problem here, the most recent windows updates were installed on my machine on 16.01.2020. Please post a screenshot of the Windows Update history, to see if there is a difference: Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaviiB 0 Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Here's my update history: Please login to display this image. It's acting a bit differently now. When the updater is opened, it tries to update itself, then I get the following message: Please login to display this image. ....and the same thing happens on repeat once I close it with Ctrl Alt Del. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat578 32 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi Tom Here you go. Today, the AS Updater updated itself, still I only have a white window for 20 seconds, before AS Updater closes itself again. Tell me, if you need more logs or files Kind Regards Beat ASUpdater.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3694 Posted January 24, 2020 Developer Share Posted January 24, 2020 This is what I get when I use your XML files in ASUpdater\Products. Of course I had to change the path entries first or I wouldn't see anything. Please login to display this image. Since you have a lot of AS products and are obviously using the updater for a while already, do you remember after which installation (or update) it stopped working for you?

Developer Hans Hartmann 3694 Posted January 27, 2020 Developer Share Posted January 27, 2020 Same here. There are quite a few .NET Framework updates in your list. But my system has all updates installed too. I wonder if they actually can have something to do with the problem. @Beat578 did you install and windows updates recently?

Not that I know, but I'll check back. I also try to reinstall the updater with the link Mathijs posted and will report back. The last AS Product I installed was the Update of the AS Geneva professional up to 1.1.0.2. Thanks for your help. And sorry for the late reply, i somehow missed your first post...

DaviiB 0 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Sorry about the delay.....work.... Just tried to uninstall and re-install the updater (with my anti-virus disabled). It seems to have successfully installed, but I no longer have a link to start the updater from the Start Menu....just the uninstall link in the aerosoft - updater folder. When I go to the actual location, everything is there, but the Updater still won't open...just a white window then a crash.after a few seconds.. Any ideas?

Beat578 32 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I have the same Problem as Davii. Unistalled and re-installed the updater. Then i uninstalled and reinstalled Geneva scenery. I have the geneva.xml in my updater library (all other products have gone). still only white window and then a crash. I am out of ideas. Macaffee has nothing in quarantaine and it started as admin, so it should have all the rights it needs to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaviiB 0 Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Any further ideas on this? I'd like to try the latest experimental update to the A330, but I'm dead in the water unless I completely reinstall. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted February 17, 2020 Aerosoft Share Posted February 17, 2020 I am sorry, but we simply do not know what could cause this. I did notice recent Windows updates had some issues but I believe all those had been solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaviiB 0 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 Ok. What version is currently available for download? (Or where on this forum can I find this information) I'll just re-install. DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Hans Hartmann 3694 Posted February 19, 2020 Developer Share Posted February 19, 2020 We did some testing here and found out that one of the product files (in this case F14Extended_p3d4.xml) was corrupted. I created a special version of the updater which logs the complete startup process: ASUpdater_Logging.7z It creates a file ASUpdater_App_Log.txt in MyDocuments\Aerosoft\ASUpdater Please try this special version and post your log file here.

Beat578 32 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi Hans Just returned from the holidays. I will try the log Version tonight as well. Had no luck with the updater the week before. And Windows did so many updates of stuff, it would be hard to go back to the point the updater still worked. I'll send my file tomorrow. Thanks for your continous support and help!
