Expedition 12.7.2

Hi Nick,

I updated to 12.7 yesterday, and during startup it would freeze on “initializing instrument.” Today I updated to 12.7.2, and it still keeps freezing.

I also tried System Restore, but it didn’t help.

Re: Expedition 12.7.2

Which Expedition System Restore options did you select?

If that doesn’t help, you could try deleting/moving the Exp data folder.

ARM link fixed. We are making progress on Actisense support on ARM, but their SDK still has an issue.

Re: Expedition 12.7.2

I hear someone else with this problem deleted the data folder and that may have solved the problem.

I would probably just move the folder rather than deleting it so you don't lose the data.

I have also heard of cases where you need to install Expedition as an administrator.

Re: Expedition 12.7.2

I moved the Expedition Program Data folder and it worked — the program started. I copied it back to its original location, and it freezes again on “Initializing Instrument.”

I tried deleting the Instrument folder from Program Data, but that didn’t help.

I also tried running it as administrator, but that didn’t help either.

Re: Expedition 12.7.2

Does it freeze if you have an empty data folder, but with the licence file in it?

It might be easier to email me..

Re: Expedition 12.7.2

I have the same problem as iurban, freezing and “initializing instrument" however I'm uncertain of which folder to remove should I remove the complete "Expedition" folder under  ProgramData?
