Not all options is in the options.xml file (RESOLVED)

Post by humbug »

Hi,
A couple of weeks ago i started up my CNC to do some cutting, and i got the following message : "Not all options is in the options.xml file.".. I have done no changes that i know of that would explain why this is the case.. So i had a look in the forum, and found that there was a new software out, so i installed that, but then i found out that i had to buy a new license. So on to the internet again, this time to spend some money. With new router license and a fresh install of the software, it all seemed to be in order again :) . The error message was gone.
But today i turned on the machine again, and that error was popping up again. Does anyone seen this before and know how to fix this?
Due to the error, the control panel is not loading.

Cheers,
Martin

The report*.zip file you posted appears to be truncated. It would usually be between 500KB and 900KB, not 2KB.

The error message presumably relates to the file C:\cncm\resources\vcp\options.xml (or maybe with the "router" software that would be in C:\cncr\resources\vcp\options.xml?)

You could try renaming, moving, or deleting that file, to see if the VCP will then simply create a new one with all the content it needs.

Alternately, you could ask someone with a working v4.62 Router installation to post a copy of their options.xml file.

Thanks for your reply, i tried removing the file as you suggested, but then it just says that it can't find the file.
Also attached a new reports file, this time it looked a bit better :).. BTW the options.xml file seems to be empty.

Cheer,
Martin

Your other suggestion seem to work!!.. I found a options.xml file in a report.zip in a post in "Re: Show me your Custom VCP's!".
That seems to work. No more error message, and the control panel is now loading.
Attaching the options.xml file, if someone else is getting the same error.

Thanks
Martin

Ah huh the dreaded Missing Options.xml then the next file is missing....
My easy fix:- install the 4.6x software onto another spare computer
On that spare comp
go to C:\cncm\resources
Right Click on VCP folder
Copy it to a USB stick
Go back to you naughty computer with your USB
copy the USB VCP folder into your Local C:\cncm\resources folder
Overwrite files on the local disk ? <Yes to all>

Too easy mate....
