I have withdrawn FS2 Explorer V2 and all support for it, since I can't keep up with all/any changes that Jase made to Fishsim2 after I wrote my program.
However, I can offer this
final piece of advice for those that need it:
If you still have the install file for the FS2Explorer V2 you also need the
.NET 2.0 Framework and
Visual C++ runtime files from Microsoft installed
before running the FS2Explorer V2 installer.
