mcam crash after update

[Programinator]

I just had a backup of mr2 on an external hard drive and when it started crashing i just copied all the files from hard drive to mr2 folder and it worked after that. I think the update blew away some of the file for some reason.

I have gotten this error also, a while ago.."Unhandled Exception occurred - Mastercam execution halted." (wouldn't open) I don't remember if it was after or before an update. After trying most all the above

I have come across this a few times, check to see if C:mcamxconfigMDM1120.prm has 0k size.

 

Delete it and the problem is gone.

 

Un-install does not remove this file.

This may or may not be related to the update(probably not as it took this long to happen), today X2 MR1, And X2 MR2 wouldn't open(I was getting splash screen to "Reading Keymapping file" then "unhandled exception"), after some trial and error I was able to keep everything the same by adding .bad to the end these files in the chooks folder: boltcircle.ft, Zip2go.ft

 

Of course neither of these tools now work but MCAM is now up and running again.

 

The way I figured this out was I moved my config, cnc machines, and chook folders to another directory. Then started mastercam that worked so i moved the config folder back and tried it again, that worked so I well you can se where this is going. Anyway I hope this info is helpful to someone.
