Build 51 CTD

Have just installed build 51 after previously uninstalling build 50.  Installation seemed too quick.  As soon as the program opens it crashes with the standard MS dialog box saying Plan-G has stopped working.

Nothing helpful in the log file - except that it looks as if installation didn't complete properly ...

I've run the install multiple times here, and I haven't seen any problems. I can only suggest you try the standard app recovery techniques - uninstall/reinstall, go back to the last restore point etc.

I had that happen to me the first time I installed. Uninstalled v50, installed v51 and crash upon running it. Tried to run it 3 times. Same thing.,

Uninstalled v51 and reinstalled it. Works fine now. Must have been a glitch in the first installation. Dunno. No issues now.

I'm afraid this install just does not work for me.  I have tried the standard recovery techniques, uninstalling and re-installing (with Registry clean and reboot in between) but still to no avail.  Can you confirm, from the log file that I posted above, that the installation is completing OK? - it seems to be very short and doesn't give any clear statement that installation was completed OK.  Is there a known problem with 64-bit systems?

I had a closer look at the problem details from the "Plan-G3 has stopped working" dialog box (see below).  Although this code is largely beyond my understanding, I do wonder about the System.DllNotFoundException.  Could my system be missing some key dll which is being called by Plan-G?

There is no problem with 64 bit systems. You could try a standalone install of SqlServerCE, that's about all I can think of.

Tried your suggestion, Tim - sadly no luck  :(

If you reinstall build 50, does that work?

I had hoped that reinstalling build 50 would work but unfortunately not - the same error.

I am not one to give up easily.  I reviewed the small detail of the error message when Plan-G crashed, and cross-referenced bits of it with other FSX error posts (not only Plan-G) in various forums.  The notorious UIAutomationCore.dll kept cropping up so, as a long shot, I tried dropping a 'clean' copy of this dll in the Plan-G directory.  Hey Presto! - I now have both build 50 and 51 running OK.

I don't know enough about what UIAutomationCore.dll does, or how Plan-G uses it - but perhaps a helpful result for other users who have problems with Plan-G to try?

Thank you very much MikeL, I also have had the same constant crashing regarding UIAutomationcore.dll. I too had applied this old CTD fix for FSX, I am running Win7x64, and copying a backup I made from my Syswow64 folder to the Plan-G folder solved the constant crashes with the error type: UIAutomationTypes.

I hope others with the same crashes can find this thread, because it almost put me off using this incredible tool.
