server will not start condor

Post by Bravo Zulu » Sat Mar 19, 2022 5:19 pm

I have had to reinstall condor. I have 2.1.7 and can do free flight. When I go to the server list and join a task, Condor does not launch. What am I missing. Using Windows 10. I have 2 drives. and Condor is on the D drive because it is the bigger of the two.

Was Condor installed on your C drive with the previous install?

The browser has to be told what process to launch when clicking the link on the website. It is probably still pointed to the old location. I think it is called "CNDR2". There are multiple posts about it if you search for this on the forums. I don't know what browser he is using so maybe he can find it himself using the search function.

If what Wickid suggests doesn't work it might be worth checking the below too.

I fixed a problem like this by altering a registry entry. I however only moved an install of condor2, I hadn't reinstalled it.

Open the registry editor, follow the below path.

Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cndr2\shell\open\command

The entry found in here must point to the right location of your Condor 2 install.

Thank you for the help. It took me a long time to get this far but I still have a problem. I am using Chrome, and Windows 10 on a PC.
I also loaded Edge but that does not work either.

Server: https://www.condorsoaring.com/serverlis ... arch=cndr2:
Regedit: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cndr2\SHELL
The DATA IS D:\_Games\Condor2\CONDOR.EXE

D:\_Games\Condor2
I have gotten the HKEY data to agree with the directory path. Assuming I have this right so far, what should I check now?
I can run Condor offline, which suggests the program is good, but I cannot connect to the server.

If your reg entry was correct, did you have to adjust it?, and it still doesn't work then check what Wickid has said about Chrome launching the correct program when asked to.
