System.IO.FileNotFoundException at Orts.Viewer3D.Viewer.UpdateAdapterInformation (1.3.1.4328, Torino - Milano - Venezia, FDT-FR9734_MI-TO)

[Freddy2000SP]

I am in general very happy with your wonderful Open Rails software, enjoying it many times. However, today I ran into a strange error that I cannot explain nor solve by myself, so I request kindly your help. Yesterday I was running an activity (Milano-Torino-Venezia) without any problem, bu t now Open Rails gives an error while starting this (or another arbitrary) activity: "An essential file is missing and Open Rails cannot continue".
However, it is not clear to me, which file is missing. Enclosed the OR logfile.
Thank you so much in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Freddy Soer (<email address hidden>)

P.S. I had Iolo System Mechanic installed on my system, but it suddenly had disappeared completely the next day. Moreover, I could not consult anymore the system logging files, nor could I go back to an earlier stage of the computer with system restore. It's a great riddle to me...

Below the first part of the OR logfile:

The cause has been found and recorded at http://www.elvastower.com/forums/index.php?/topic/33146-an-essential-file-is-missing-and-open-rails-cannot-continue/page__pid__249000#entry249000

The forum thread reports that the Open Rails error-handling assumes that any unexpected error at start-up is due to "an essential file is missing".

This is a fair assumption for a damaged installation and would be cured by a re-installation. However the thread identifies a different cause - damaged Windows - which could be caught and reported separately.

Also, the message "an essential file is missing" should suggest a re-installation.

Hello OR-companion, thank you for your comment on this issue. Right now I am re-installing my desktop PC with a fresh copy of Windows 10. Reason why I could not react that quickly. I will be awaiting tbe new installation and will keep you informed if this has resulted in a solution regarding Open Rails here and on Elvas Tower. Thanks again for your help, kind regards, Freddy

[Freddy2000SP (freddysoer)]

Hi all, everthing is working fine again after a clean re-install of my Windows 10 Home Edition (keeping my personal files). thanks again for your support and empathy,

kind regards,

Freddy

P.S. I have put this message too at the Elvas Tower forum.
