I installed 7.1.4 and found the movies option menu in the starting page did not appear.
Only blue empty page display with the engine version and licenses information.
What's the problem?

My customer installed the trial version 7.1.4 and it display the movies menu in the starting page.
But after installation the license code or the network licenses, the option menu movies did not appear.

What's the problem?

Thanks.

I have got the same behaviour. But I think it has something to do with the way I receive the license. I use a vpn connection to the license server. While this connection is established I haven't an internet connection, neither. And I think you need an internet connection to see the example and video section.

You definitely need an internet connection. The startup page uses Ajax to get content from a FlexSim server.

If you want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes:
- The code for the startup page can be found at VIEW:/standardviews/documentwindows/StartPage/HtmlPanel/Startup>variables/html
- About Ajax http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28Programmierung%29 or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29

I always connect with internet in my office during installation and running flexsim.

I removed the installation and re-installed 7.1.4.
But it is same.

What can I do in the html folder?
After removing all, should I re-install 7.1.4?

After removing the license, the movies option menu appear in starting page.

What's the problem?

I'd like to try to debug this issue. Please follow the debug procedures outlined here and we'll see what happens:

Thanks,

Did you fix it in your server?


From today, all display normally.
But I did not anything to fix it in my notebook.
All is OK.


Thanks.

Yes, we changed some code on the server. There was a problem in FlexSim that if there was more than one module installed, FlexSim sent malformed data to the server.

I modified the server to detect for that malformed data and fix it.

The next release of FlexSim will have the bug fix within FlexSim itself so that the web server doesn't need to search for and address this error case.

Thanks,

I am facing this issue every time I try to minimize multiple windows in Flexsim and sometimes while running the experimenter. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the same?
