Trouble Shooting Tips

• Depending on your operating system and the status of updates to your Windows Operating System, you may need to install DotNet framework 1.1. Go to the following URL and download from Microsoft. Save the file and install this Windows update.

  After installing the DotNet framework 1.1, reinstall AFD. It should run fine.

• If you are living in Europe your OS international settings may be set by default to use the comma (,) as a decimal indicator. AFD is looking for a period (.). You may need to change your international units to use a decimal. To do this, go to START - CONTROL PANEL - REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS - CUSTOMIZE FORMAT Change the decimal symbol to be a period (.) not a comma.

• You may experience errors when trying to save a DXF file or linking to XFOIL. This may be caused because the directory where you installed AFD is protected by Windows permissions. The permissions on the directory may not allow saving a file or running a .BAT script. Using Windows Explorer to change the directory persmissions so a file can be written or script can be executed. If you cannot do this, you may need to install AFD in a directory other than the default C:\program files, like My Documents.

• XFOIL is a stand-alone software package and is provided as a convenience for AFD users. AFD creates a file and then tells XFOIL to run it. You can run XFOIL by itself. XFOIL.exe is found in the AFD install directory. Their is also a PDF that gives basic instructions. For more information on XFOIL visit: http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/xfoil/

• AFD is not a 64-bit program and will not run on the Windows 64 bit platform.
• AFD has not been tested on Windows 7 OS.
