SIMS error 2470-3220-5000

[button_ripple]

Yesterday I started to get this message whenever I try to open SIMS .net:

Fault Code: 2470-3220-5000
The type initializer for 'System.Management.ManagementPath' threw an exception. : System.TypeInitializationException

Anyone got any ideas, Capita think it is a problem with the .net framework. I have tried reinstalling SIMS and the .net framework, but it won't go away .

We had an upgrade to SIMS just before Christmas, but it has been working since then. I haven't had any updates to the .net framework. This error is only showing my computer.

@button_ripple:

This may help as we had the same issue with the exams module throwing up an initialisation error.

Try:

1. Run a Windows Update on the affected machine via Internet Explorer - Tools | Windows Update


2. Uninstall SIMS Infrastructure via Add/Remove Programs


3. Install SIMS Infrastructure by running e.g. S:\SIMS\SETUPS\SimsInfrastructureSetup.exe


4. Locate the SIMS .net folder and rename this to SIMSold.


5. Run SIMSApplicationSetup.exe

hope this helps
