I need help with Active Sky Next

[CookerCook]

Sorry for asking a non-A2A related problem in this forum, but I need help with this. Whenever I start it up, it goes to the initialization screen and then it crashes. Please I need all the help I can.

it gives me this error
System.IO.FileNotFoundException

You need to use their support forum.

I see two things that repeat themselves all the time: can‘t find a path/file in the Program files (x86) directory and Fatal error, AS cannot function properly..

Looks to me like either a permission issue (run everything as admin) or an antivirus denial. (Exclude everything that has to do wirh FS from AV).

Other from that none of us knows the Active Sky code so the best support is always the developer. I rhink they provide quite a good support ober there.

Looks to me like either a permission issue (run everything as admin) or an antivirus denial. (Exclude everything that has to do wirh FS from AV).

Other from that none of us knows the Active Sky code so the best support is always the developer. I rhink they provide quite a good support ober there.

I kinda fixed it. I deleted the host.file in the System32/drivers/etc and now it works. I still keep a backup of it in case something goes wrong.

UPDATE: Reset the hosts.file instead of deleting it as it will cause your internet to slow down. Here’s the tutorial on how to reset your hosts.file
