FS crashes at start, reinstall doesn't help

Wow, this bug is sticky. After a crash Flowstone will not start whatsoever. Not after Windows restart. Not after reinstall. Not after uninstall and reinstall. :shock: :evil:
Any hints?

Hiya

You could try removing your user modules folder from wherever you have it atm and see if it loads m8, it might be something in there that is stopping it from loading, ive had similar issues before and ended up having to rebuild my entire toolbox :(

hope you get fixed out :)

Many thanks, Jay. Didn't help though :cry:. Must be something else offending FS.
Also Malc's suggestion to delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DSPRobotics\FlowStone didn't help either.
Any hint (other than format c: ;) )?

Most likely there is something wrong with your user data. Maybe a recovery schematic or broken modules in the toolbox. Try temporarly renaming that folder so that FS can't find it anymore:

Code: Select all

%appdata%\FlowStone

I had similar problem quite some time ago. Try to delete Flowstone in Registry, using Registry Editor. It worked for me.

Bingo! :P Thank you, MyCo, that helped. It was not the modules, though, not mine nor the system modules. Whatever it was, it seems to be isolated now. Thanks again. Boy what a service, issue resolved within less than 4 hours on a Saturday night! :lol:
