Problem launching AE Studio 18.2 Patch 1

Hello Team,

I am trying to Launch AE Automation Studio Enterprise Edition v18.2 Patch 1 but I am getting error popup as mentioned below.

The type initializer for ‘SE.Core.Automation.IoCContainer.IoC’ threw an exception

I have following system config:
OS : Win 10 Enterprise (64 Bit)
MS Excel 2010
.Net Framework v4.8

I have checked logs as well. I can share them if required personally to support team member.

I have also checked similar issues on forum but can’t find a exact solution to resolve the same.

Kindly assist on the same. Happy to connect on Teams app well.

Thanks.

HI,

Kindly share the logs. Also, since 18.2 is a patch over 18.x version were you able to launch 18.x version on your machine.

This error occurs when one of the pre-req is not present on your machine or you have added a plugin for which software is not present in your system.

Thanks @amit_anand15 for your response.
I have shared logs with you and yes, I have successfully ran AE Studio v18 on same machine.

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you try upgrading your excel to 2013 or 2016 version
If not delete Excel folder from AutomationStudio\bin\Plugins folder

Hi Amit,

I don’t think I can upgrade the MS Excel version easily. But please let me know if it is mandatory for AE v18.2, probably then I will have to get it upgrade with some process.

I will try second option and update you.

Thanks,
Ameya

Thanks a lot @amit_anand15

Deleting the Excel folder has resolved the AE studio launch problem.

Cheers !

Thank you,
