Can't Launch Pilot Client: Unhandled Exception

[Markus B.]

Hi team,

I just tried taking my first steps in the network, but I'm failing to launch the pilot client. I keep on getting this error message, re-installed launcher and pilot client with no success:

Unhandled exception: Error creating windows handle.

The installation of both, launcher and client went smoothly. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

This is a known issue we are working to identify the cause. Could I ask you if you use Windows 10 Home edition? 

[James A. (1014487)]

Sorry for the late response.

I loaded the .NET Framework 3.0 SP1 and I'm still having problems. This is what comes up on the explorer but it never gets to the login page.

This seems to be a unrelated issue please check your launcher version to be the latest one if not you can download it from the dashboard.
