| Summary | 0000912: Unable to Run on Vista-32 bit After Windows Updates | ||||
| Description | I downloaded GeoSetter for the first time maybe 10 days to 2 weeks ago. I used it a couple of times and it ran fine. Yesterday I tried to run it again and it wouldn't launch: when I double-clicked on it, the mouse pointer would get an hourglass for a second or two, then disappear and go back to the normal mouse pointer. Geosetter did not come up. Running Task Manager did not show it as a running process. I tried rebooting the system, going directly to the application in the Program Files directory and running it as Administrator, but nothing worked. I finally ran the unistaller, rebooted, and manually removed the remaining .dll's, then downloaded a fresh installation copy off the GeoSetter website. I installed it, tried to run it, and got the same problem. Again, reboots make no difference. The version reads as 3.4.16.2119. The only thing that I know has changed in this system between when it worked and when it stopped working is the latest batch of Windows Updates from Microsoft. There were 7 updates on January 11, most security related, and another updaet on Jamuary 18th, again security related. I'm guessing that one of those broke it. | ||||
| Additional Information | OS is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit with SP2. And all the latest windows updates. English-language version. | ||||

|
When I installed it, I did so with the shell addition. |
|
|
have you also deleted the files in the <AppData>\GeoSetter directory before you have reinstalled GeoSetter? |
|
|
I just tried what you said, but it didn't help: I uninstalled everything as before, then after reboot and deleteing the .dll's, I deleted the <AppData>/GeoSetter directory from my user account, which was the only one it ever ran under, and from the Administrator account. The I downloaded a fresh copy of the setup exe file and reinstalled while logged in as Administrator. It's behaving the same way as before. No joy. |

|
I am having exactly the same issue. Unable to start Geosetter |
|
|
I am still having the issue. Microsoft Update pulled down a Visual C++ library update on 1/24/2012 and a batch of other updates, mosty security related, on 2/15/2012, but GeoSetter still will not start. |
|
|
Geosetter has started working again. Best guess is the big set of Microsoft Updates that came out on 5/11/2012 did the trick. |
