[Solved] David crashes after automatic update

[mariusl]

Hi
I updated my David when it asked to do so and after the update it opens and then a windows box comes up saying that the software has stopped working, windows is looking for a solution.
Please help

Here is some information from the debugger.

There seems to be a problem with the update process. I uninstalled David completely and then redid the installation from scratch. It now seems to be OK.

Thanks Marius,
That should not happen.
Does anyone else have a similar problem?

I think the UserSettings.xml is not equal in both versions

The UserSettings.xml is re-created each time DAVID is closed. It should always be downward-compatible, so after the update, DAVID 3.5 will read and understand the settings from the previous version.
If that is not so, please send me your UserSettings.xml file.
You can delete the file (and all others in /Settings), then DAVID will start fresh with default settings.

I have also tried installing .net framework 4.5

Also I downloaded the free version of David 3.5.1 and it works fine. Also I have david 2.6 in this USB which works fine. Its just when I open David 3.5.1 from the USB copy it shows the error and crashes. Please help

Hi Shailesh,
Maybe there are some errors in the settings on your USB key. Please delete all files in the folder \DAVID3\Settings on your USB key, then start DAVID again.

Hello

Same problem as Shailesh with my new usb key.
Deleted file(s) in \DAVID3\Settings (only 1 file was in : language.xml)
Always the same problem
As a free version was working perfectly from my HDD I copied the content of \DAVID3\Settings (3 files : language.xml, Lasermotion.xml, UserSettings.xml) in the usb version.
Working

Hi anthracene,
Thanks for your report.
That's strange. I have no explanation why the software should crash without Settings files, but not crash WITH settings files...
You can also launch DAVID from the HDD. As long as the original USB key is plugged in, DAVID will find the license there. Then the Free Edition will be Professional Edition.
