Quickstart Error - Please help

[Christoff Muller]

Good day. 

I am new to Caesar-Lisflood and I have not been able to ran the quick start at all. The following Error keeps occurring: 

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hi Christophe - quick thing to check - have you got windows set up so the decimal point is a comma , instead of a point . 

We’ve had this issue before and you need to change the language format settings on windows.

I just had a look, the comma seems to be the decimal symbol. I also replaced all "." in the txt documents with "," and attempted to open the items again, but it gave the same error.

That won’t work. You need to change the computer settings - as in the box you showed.

Thank you, I have changed that. It still gives the same error message. Is there perhaps something else I could try? We attempted it on another computer and it gave the same error.
