[RESOLVED] MS Console Based Script Host has stopped working

[SteveB69]

Wonder if anyone can help with this error message I am getting when I exit a game under VP 9.16, also happens on VP 9.15.

"MS Console Based Script Host has stopped working"

Seems to happen on all tables that use ledwiz, tables that don't are fine.

Likely to be my fault as I have just added a new ledwiz device as I blew my old one & at this point I cannot get it to work but worth a post here in case anyone else has seen this error message?

Oh, using the latest version of PinballX that I downloaded yesterday.

[SteveB69]

Bumping this with an update.

I'm still getting the error message

""MS Console Based Script Host has stopped working""

It happens when I start a game & when I end a game.

Clicking OK on the message box gets rid of it & the game plays fine, any ideas anyone?

If you are encountering an error with PinballX, please provide copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files, and also provide any pertinent information, such as OS and any codecs installed. This helps the author facilitate a quicker fix for issues being reported. Thank you.

[SteveB69]

Sorry should have provided that at the start.

The problem started when I installed the Direct Output Framework for Ledwiz.

Had hell of a job getting that working, now it is all working fine I still get the

""MS Console Based Script Host has stopped working""

As said I can click around it?

First off, you need to upgrade to the latest PinballX version (1.69 is the most recent). Not sure if it will help with the error you are describing but 1.62 support is deprecated with the release of the later versions.

[SteveB69]

Upgraded to the latest version but no change, same error message.

I guess a total un-install of PinballX is called for followed by a rapid re-install.

What should I back up so I don't have to re-do all my set up again?

[Draco1962]

If you download the installer and run it you should be fine, it will only overwrite the actual program files, but should leave the other files intact. You should probably backup the contents of your pinballx folder as a precaution.

[SteveB69]

I meant a total un-install & re-install of PinballX, just need to back up my game manager settings.

[SteveB69]

Solved it, so if anyone else should come across the same problem.

I had previously set up a couple of batch files to clear the Leds upon start & exit. Stopping PinballX from running these got rid of my error message.

So simple in the end...

[Draco1962]

Glad you found a the cause and resolved the issue! Thanks for letting us know!
