I installed the Mobiflight beta 10.5.2.5 and Python (selecting admin and PATH), then ran the 2 command lines.
Any time I try to either use a downloaded profile, or manually program something for the PMDG planes in MSFS20, I get This unhandled exception error. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Python with no luck.
This is for WinWing A320 MCDU.

@patent bronze Do you know what might cause this?
@wispy reef what output do you get when you run python --version from a command line?

Can you please activate logging in extras settings with loglevel debug. Then restart mobiflight and start so that you get the exception. Then post here the log file or content. @trim garden do you have a link how to get logging?

huh. So, I installed Python, with admin, with PATH both definitely checked, but I'm getting this in CMD (admin) or Powershell (admin) when I run it
trim garden
you don't need to be in an admin window (and shouldn't be). just a normal command window is fine.
were you running MobiFlight as admin?
wispy reef
got it, without admin mode, still getting the same reaction. I've been running mobiflight not as admin

so python isn't found when you run it from the command line in a non-admin powershell?
If not, then it's not on your path. I suggest uninstalling it and running the installer again. The installer dialog should look like shown on this page: https://winwingcdu.mobiflight-docs.pages.dev/guides/installing-python/
wispy reef
uninstalled, reinstalled, ensuring PATH is selected and again not getting anything on python --version. Flummoxed
trim garden
did you restart the command window/terminal after install? It won't pick up the path change until you do
wispy reef
yes, not the computer, but restarted cmd.exe
trim garden
I can't imagine this will make a difference, but run Windows Terminal not cmd.exe and see what happens
wispy reef
python --version can be run from any folder in cmd right?
trim garden
yes, assuming it is on the path
wispy reef
Does this require W11? I'm still on W10
trim garden
it shouldn't matter

no difference
ok I think I might have found my issue. Let me diagnose
trim garden
@patent bronze will have to chime in I guess. Not sure what's wrong, it's clearly not on your path which is why in general this isn't working
(We shouldn't crash though)
wispy reef
yup ok here's my issue, an older version of Python is a requirement for Unreal Engine 5, so it's causing a conflict with the new Python3 version I just installed. Going to play and hope I don't nuke my UE5 install
Computers are stupid
in case this ever comes up again somehow, you need to go into Manage App Execution Alaises, and turn off the older version of Python
Thank you @trim garden !
trim garden
We'll fix the crash

Can confirm working flawlessly, even have the PMDG 737 screen on the MCDU working, amazing
