Error Loading Config

[kalease]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows why I'm having the below issue after rebooting my machine, I can't seem to load any eventghost xml files, all I receive are the errors below. I'm running the latest release on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.

Attached is my config.

Thanks

Anyone run into this problem?

I'd suggest reinstalling EG and see if that helps. Make sure you make a copy of any *.xml files you need first.

Thanks for the reply.

That was actually the first thing I tried. The strange part is I don't even see anything load in my tree on the right hand panel.

You can try to rename "EventGhost" subdir in the "Application Data" dir. (To EventGhost.old, for example, just for test.) That dir should be in your windows user profile. Before doing that, unload Eventghost, and after renaming, run it again.
I'm on WindowsXP. Directory paths are differs on modern OSes like Vista-Seven, but it should be there anyway.

Before you destroy too much, here are my advices:

1) Try to locate your config.py file (on XP in folder ...C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\EventGhost)

Edit the first line,

Code: Select all

autoloadFilePath = u'C:\\Program Files\\EventGhost\\empty.xml'

set the name of the xml to "empty.xml", save and restart EG, now EG should start with an empty configuration.

2) Use a good editor and open your old faulty xml configuration, try to repair manually, eventually delete plugin and macro sections, try to open the file after changes, try again and hopefully you will be able to restore most of your work

Best regards, Walter

Just to correct your typo, path you mentioned, not for XP, it's exactly for Kalease's Windows 7 OS.

Thanks, even better (I was mistakenly looking into the wrong computer but at the end, this was not too bad)

Resurrecting an ancient post to say thank you Walter! Just ran into a similar issue and changing this config file resolved it! I hope this isn't a normal occurrence but for now I am going to be backing up my XML's ever few minutes! Lol. Thanks.
