MC-Studio Crashes on start up, even after re-installing
« on: December 19, 2016, 03:37:02 pm »
MC studio crashes when I try to open it.

It says it can't find a file:
Code: [Select]
ERROR in mcStudio supporting thread.
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path...
even though the file is in the right folder.

Then it gives another error:
Code: [Select]
ERROR in mcStudio.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at mcEditControl.Editor.get_Row()
...
and then crashes.

I've tried re-installing several times but it gives the same error.

Hi SK,
there has been some bugs identified that affect the pathways with some of the files within mcStudio. This is something that we are working to resolve in upcoming versions of mc-Studio.

Can you try deleting the 'Settings' file (should be here -> Documents>mcThings>mcStudio>Settings.XML) and see if that helps with the crashing issue. Please let us know if this helps.

Thanks!

There is no Settings.XML file
I've attached a screen shot of the folders in the mcStudio folder

I've uninstalled it again and deleted every file and folder to do with mc, and then re-installed and and now it works!
The settings.xml has returned too!

I think the problem was that when it uninstalled, it didn't erase all the files. So when re-installing, if it found an already existing folder called mcThings, it wouldn't rewrite it with a fresh new copy.

I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks!
