As you can see
I can only see you disabled the firewall AND you got a message stating that the program couldn't start because EITHER the firewall OR the antivirus might have blocked it.
Since you haven't posted anything about your antivirus settings, I can't possibly say if the problem might be the antivirus. The WHOLE Addon Manager folder must be excluded, not just single executables.
There's a way to log other problems when the program doesn't start:
- open the Notepad and type the following on a new blank file:
logFile=couatl.log
(please note logFile is written beginning with a lower case L and a capital F )
- Save the file as couatl.ini in the %APPDATA%\Virtuali folder
- Run the sim, then exit after the error appears.
- Check your %APPDATA%\Virtuali folder and if there's a Couatl.LOG file there, post its content
- DO NOT copy the file in a message, but use the "Attach" function of the forum to ZIP the log file and Attach it to a post.
If you don't have a Couatl.LOG file, and you are SURE you followed all the previous instructions to the letter, it means the program was prevented to start before it even had a chance to execute a single line of its code. And this can ONLY be caused by:
- The antivirus
- Missing system libraries, caused by missing Windows updates
If, instead, you DO have a Couatl.LOG file, then it's something else entirely, meaning the program started by then it exited for some reason. ZIP it and attached it so I can check it.
