VoiceAttack won't start

[Aldaris]

Hi

I've recently reinstalled from scratch Win 10. Every time I try to run Voice Attack, it instantly fails. This is from Event Viewer:

Faulting application name: VoiceAttack.exe, version: 1.6.7.5, time stamp: 0x5968fdd3
Faulting module name: clr.dll, version: 4.7.2102.0, time stamp: 0x593710c8

I know that dll is from .Net. Version 4.7 cannot be uninstalled/reinstalled when Win 10 is installed from scratch (to my knowledge). I've tried system file checker for corruption, chkdsk for the drive, I've tried the .Net repair tool. Nothing comes up in either. I've checked my memory recently and that came up clean for errors.

You can see I've tried the beta version of Voice Attack, but I've gone back through all the old versions, and none of them work.

So all in all I'm a bit stuck. Am I looking at a reinstall of Win 10 to get this working?

Do the folders "%LOCALAPPDATA%\VoiceAttack.com" and "%appdata%/VoiceAttack/" exist/contain anything?

If the issue is with a file VoiceAttack created/tried to create, removing the contents of those folders is something you can try.

Neither of those exist.

All sorted now. I had to take ownership of the folder, change permissions so I could delete, rename etc. Deleted the original and got a copy of the dll from a friend. All works now.
