When I click on the AyaNovaQBI icon on my desktop which by the way looks like a notepad sort of icon instead of the normal icon I get the error below. Can you please help this is getting really frustrating to me.

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.

The message you are receiving is because you have not completed the steps to setup QBI

You have not created the AyaNovaQBI.exe.config file as directed in step #4 in the QBI v3 Manual http://www.ayanova.com/QBIwebHELP/installationdatabaseconfiguration.htm

.

Please note that you  haven't posted answers to the previous post http://forum.ayanova.com/Topic1616-90-1.aspx regarding the versions so that I can help troubleshoot what the issue is.

Please do so. Here are the questions again.

1. What is the exact version of your AyaNova - select menu Help -> About AyaNova - (do note the version is three numbers X.X.X, not just two)

2. What is the exact version of QBI - in QBI select menu Help -> About (again, do note the version is three numbers X.X.X, not just two)

3. Open Windows Explorer, open the AyaNova program folder (default is C:\Program Files\Ground Zero Tech-Works Inc\AyaNova 3) what is the Modified Date of the following two files

• AyaNova.exe
• GTZW.AyaNova.BLL.dll

Do note that there is only one AyaNova.exe.config file in the AyaNova program folder

The others have different extensions such as AyaNova.exe.config.DATAPORTAL_VERSION etc

If you are not seeing proper extensions, than you may not have your Windows Explorer set to view extensions.

1. Open Windows Explorer and select menu View

2. Make sure Details is checked

3. Select menu option  Tools -> Folder Options

4. Select the tab View

5. Make sure Show Hidden Files and Folders is checkmarked

6. Make sure Hide file extensions for known file types is not checkmarked

7. Click on Apply button

8. Click on Use Current Folder button to set all folders to use this type of view

9. Select Yes

Now you can see the file extensions of all files, as well as see the dates etc of the files.

Don't forget to confirm the program versions as directed in the previous post above, and in your other topic http://forum.ayanova.com/Topic1616-90-1.aspx

Would you  please perform the steps identified in the previous post on making sure you can see file dates and extensions

Once you have that, than as identified above make sure the two files are dated June 29 2006 - if they are than continue with your QBI configuration as now you can see file extensions.
