yplace Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Dear SignalSoft team, My new PC runs Windows 8.1 ; I've tried setting up my licensed version of Köln Hbf (the only setup files I have here are v.2.3.0.44, and I was hoping that the Update tool would upgrade me to a more recent version), but the application just does not start: when I double click on the app icon, I immediately get the "Zentrallstellwerk Köln Hbf stopped working" error in Windows. I have tried running the application under various compatibility modes (such as Windows 7 and Windows XP SP3), to no avail. Am I the only one with such an issue? Thanks - Yannick.
TjoeTjoe Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Yannick, Does any of the information here help you: http://www.railsignalling.org/signalwiki/index.php/Operating_System_Compatibility
signalsoftRC Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Just install .NET 2.0 and you're fine. if you get immediately the message that a .NET application can't start, it's because of missing or corrupt .NET files.... In that case it's NOT our program.
Nopileos Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Hi Yannick, i use since first time Windows 8 and 8.1... This operating system is terrible, i have many problems with programms, too. Windows 8 and 8.1 grab deep in your accessright. Try to install all new programms with admin-right, same if you install something, also the installer with admin-rights. I can advise to all: Dont change a running system and dont use Windows 8.1!!! Greets Stefan
yplace Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks, guys. Your help is appreciated. I'll keep on investigating around .NET, but as far as I can see, it's already installed. And by the way, the Teaching Tool (http://www.signalsimulation.com/downloads/KoelnHbfDemo.zip) works fine. Does it rely on .NET 2.0 too? If I can find what was wrong, I'll let you know, so that it can help others. Have a nice day. -Yannick.
signalsoftRC Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 can you re-install .NET 2.0? that might solve the problem. if the teaching tool works, try Essen Hbf Demo and/or Duisburg Hbf Demo. www.signalsimulation.com/downloads/ZentralstellwerkDuisburgHbfDEMO.zip www.signalsimulation.com/downloads/ZentralstellwerkEssenHbfDEMO.zip if they work.... Try again Zentralstellwerk Köln Hbf... if they don't work either.... re-install .NET 2.0 try again...
Polar_Bear Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 Hi all, Despite the age of this thread, here is my modest contribution. It seems that Yannick is/was facing the same problem I have faced with Braunschweig Hbf and other sims/demos (e.g. Amsterdam). Besides .NET 2.0, one should consider deleting the (Windows)/User/(YourUserName]/AppData/Local/SIGNALSOFT_Rail_Consultan folder related to the faulty simulation (here Köln Hbf) and then restart the simulation. It is how I have fixed the problem on my side. And it seems that it is a known way to fix the problem among other users here. HTH
