Hello,
Every time I run an update on the mission planner it crashes (this only happens on the new version).
I retrieves all the files and when the command prompt window runs it crashes. Please see screen shot below.
And when I load ArduCopter 3.01 on my quad and try to connect with my 3DR radios it times out where as version 2.91b connects every time (I can upload firmware I cannot connect via MavLink) so I am no on 2.91b.
I am not sure if this is because of the mission planner crashing on update or because of the arducopter code.
Kind Regards
Christiaan

Although I replied to this post that I've not had any difficulties with MP, I did encounter connection problems after an update to 1.2.73
MP would not connect with APM , also MP seemed to get hung up when I tried to select a COM port.
The solution, for me, was to turn off the BlueTooth radio on the computer.
I guess that the BT COM ports were causing an un-resolvable condition and Mission Planner would eventually time out but it seemed like it froze until the time out expired.
This has happened before but I had forgotten about it and I had to re-discover the solution.
I'm using US english & my computer is running Win7 pro 64-bit.
Im starting to think you need to reinstall the .net 3.5 framework.
as ive had a look at the changes in the last version where it crashes, and there is nothing that would cause a fatal crash like that.
try starting MP as administrator.
I'm running MP Version 1.2.70 on Windows7 64-bit and it works just fine even though my computer is long overdue for an OS re-install [ blue screen of death once or twice a week].
The com port selection in MP can be slow to respond and connect sometimes ,not always just some times, but it probably my computer that's at fault since it has been that way with many previous versions of MP.
I'm with the same problem, always that I update the Mission Planner to any version greater than 1.2.50, the MP crashes. If you solve your problem, please let me know how.
