Jim, I believe the new version fixes your issue.
Tim, here your go.
Please replace the AIAE executable installed on your computer with the version attached here.
When you start the application, you will see message boxes popping up.
They might be partly hidden by the loader animation, if so just drag them outside. Please make a screenshot from each dialog. At some point the application will crash. Please provide me with the latest screenshot you have done before the crash. Below screenshot would show when all analysis has completed without crash - we know this is not the case for you.

Hi
That has fixed the texture not found messages.
The viewer does not show textures that are "nested" ie texture folders within a top level folder.
It works fine if individual folders are used.
It reports air files not found that are not an exact match to the entry in the aircraft.cfg.
eg aircraft.cfg entry= sim=cis_an24 - file name of CIS_AN24.air

Can you provide me with an example, please?

That was the error for the textures and models as well. I must have missed the airfiles.

I cannot replicate that, Jim.
Is it comparable to this structure?

Hi Martin,
ok this is what I get
On first opening:
Hit 'OK'
Hit 'OK'
Hit 'OK'
Hit 'Cancel'
Navigate to a SimObjects folder:
That is the state in which it remains until shut down.

Martin,
I just a few minutes ago tried to run AIAE v. 4.2.25, and it crashed on me on startup. It generated a crash report that I sent with the button provided.
I then came here and saw that v. 4.2.26 was available, then went back to my 4.2.25 (which crashed again on startup, this time I did not send the report) and tried to use the update function. This did not work, no reaction from AIAE, so I downloaded 4.2.26 and installed it. No problems with that as I see it at this time.

Can it be that you are using a 32bit system, Jorgen?

All that I have been able to find, both x86 and x64 versions.
I once had an issue that I couldn't get rid of, and in more or less desparation I installed the Microsoft Visual Studio suite, all versions. The issue then went away, but that means that I also have the .NET versions available through there.
Everything is kept updated.

This path is invitation to disaster. But still Martin is to blame because he did not foresee this.

Nope, can't be. I have the same entries and it does not crash.
