Since today, I'm getting an unhandled exception error when launching Live Update - here's the details:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

That's because you haven't updated to the latest version, since your error related to Font memory allocation has already been fixed, as confirmed in this thread:

ok - I see from reading through the other threads to download and install the new installer.

question - what does have to be uninstalled or removed before running the new installer?

Try this installer, it's not MSFS-specific, it's just an offline copy of the files you were *supposed* to get from the servers:

Before we can look into possible issues, we need to be sure you get the right files.

Thanks - should previous GSX be uninstalled first?

No, in fact if you uninstall it, it won't work, because this installer contains only the GSX code, not any objects or textures.
