Lightning's MFDE and 4.33
-
But anyway, maybe there will be a new version of MFDE in 3-4 weeks solving our problems….
Lightning is working on the next version I believe, but he’s subject to real world time constraints like everyone else so expect it when you see it.
-
Exceptions made for MFDE 0.6.1.1 in firewall and antivirus?
Will try it but I do run it locally. Anyway I´ll check it . Will report back in a couple of minutes…

Heard of that - crossing my fingers …
@ Icarus: I tried disabling antivirus/firewall I also reverted to an older Nvidia driver and uninstalled my Displaylink drivers - no change unfortunately…

I had an issue that it was going to my 4.32 exe by default. The 4.33 and 4.32 exe’s are named identical.
I uninstalled 4.32 before installing 4.33 but I´ll check if there is any remaining stuff in my registry pointing to 4.32…

Something is blocking it from working. Start/stop should not be both greyed out. You are using standalone correct?
The only thing I can think of……is your MFDE download was corrupt. Try re-downloading and re-installing. Only start should be greyed out in the beginning. Stop should be black text.

Yes standalone - its not greyed out if no instrument is checked at the options menu, but as soon as I check any instrument for extraction start/stop is greyed out immediately.
Did clean my registry from any remaining 4.32 entrys. No positive result.

Stop should not be greyed out. It is not in mine when I select an instrument. The only thing I can think of……is your MFDE download was corrupt. Try cleaning all MFDE from registry and re-downloading and re-installing. That is all I can think of.

I also did re-download the installer - no success. I guess it has something to do with some missing net framework components . Can you check which versions are installed on your machine ?
In my case:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) -12.0.30501 -
I have same Net Framework and 21 versions of C+++ (x86) and (x64) from 2005 all the way up to the latest version you have.
Lightning’s older requirements:
1.) Windows Installer v4.5 (if running on XP or Vista)
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=84832.) DirectX Web Updater (don’t bother installing the stupid Bing Bar but install all optional DirectX components if prompted to)

Out of curiosity I did then install all MFDE versions released in the past.
The last one working for me is v.0570x86….Unfortunately this release does not work with 4.33. Guess I have to wait 3-4 weeks for a newer version.Anyway - thanks a lot for your patience and help. Cheers!

Holy shit !!! I got it running (after 2 days)
Here is what I did:
Installed v.0.5.7.0 (latest working version for 4.32 for me) then just manually deleted the MFD Extractor program folder at “C:\Program Files (x86)\Falcon MFD Extractor” and installed the latest MFDE v.0.6.0.1.0
VOILA! Working MFDs again…
:bdance:

Awesome! Wonder what it was that was blocking it? Don’t touch it though, now its working.

I can confirm Dolphin’s exact solution. I first just installed latest MFDE version. Did not work (all settings lost in every menu, start+stop greyed out). I uninstalled, then installed latest working version (0.5.7 for me too). Removed the program folder, and then ran installer of newest version.
It then worked immediately! And it had kept ALL my settings, including the position of all instruments on the screen!

Ringofire over at viperpits.org mentioned something about inconsistencies in different type of MFDE installers and manual deeinstallation - that finally did the trick.
