Fatback Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I think I've corrupted my EFB installation. Is there a way to save my current settings and flight plans, uninstall my current installation, install from scratch, then copy back in my settings and flight plans? Thanks in advance. For reference, I've attached 3 files. 1) error message when I start Data Providor 2) error message when I try to run Update 3) error message when I try a full install Here are the last entries from the log file 2016-08-27 18:04:50.894 Debug SimConnect: Status 'active' 2016-08-27 18:41:47.010 Debug SimConnect: Status 'inactive' 2016-08-27 18:41:59.072 Debug SimConnect: Status 'inactive' 2016-08-27 18:41:59.173 Debug FSX terminated by user 2016-08-27 18:41:59.173 Debug Starting 'automatic re-connection procedure' 2016-08-27 18:41:59.173 Debug SimConnect: Status 'inactive' 2016-08-27 18:41:59.174 Debug Waiting for running simulator process ... 2016-08-28 09:34:01.520 Debug *** Started: AivlaSoft Electronic Flight Bag 1.6.5.18356 2016-08-28 09:34:05.807 Debug License successfully verified. 2016-08-28 09:34:05.807 Debug check user settings 2016-08-28 09:34:35.805 Debug *** Started: AivlaSoft Electronic Flight Bag 1.6.5.18356 2016-08-28 09:34:37.407 Debug License successfully verified. 2016-08-28 09:34:37.417 Debug check user settings 2016-08-28 09:34:41.222 Error Read user settings: Unknown type found. at AivlaSoft.Efb.Common.Services.UserSettingsService.b() at AivlaSoft.Efb.Common.Services.UserSettingsService.b(String A_0, String A_1) at hq.a(Boolean A_0) at hq.h() at ih.b() at ih.f() at ih.i() 2016-08-28 09:34:41.238 Debug Closing sequence started.

Fatback Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 I was able to uninstall and then reinstall. Then I copied back in the flightplans and I'm good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi, if this is still pending ... you can save your current settings and re-use them as long as you remain within the same EFB version. Just copy/paste the file "DisplayUnit_UserSettings.bin" and/or "DataProvider_UserSettings.bin" to a save place, then reinstall EFB and overwrite the default files. It might be that you must first run EFB once, before the default settings file is created. For the flightplans it is almost the same procedure, but there is no restriction to remain within the same EFB version. BTW, according to the forum rules, please sign your posts with your real first name. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatback Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks Urs, got the flight plans transferred ok but it's an upgraded version so just redid the settings. All in order.. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
