    ProjectWise Explorer Won't Start or is Giving you a "PWC.exe -Application Error

    Problem:

     When launching ProjectWise Explorer, I receive the following error, and the program will not launch

    The Application was Unable to Start Correctly (0xc0000005). Click okay to close the application.    

     

    Solution:

    We have seen how some third-party application License tracking software will present a case where when ProjectWise Explorer is clicked to startup, it will just present a cursor spin then disappear. We have seen some cases where Windows 7 workstations will work with this software, but Windows 10 presents an error like the below screen capture:

    To get ProjectWise to start, go to the Start button > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services >SoftTrack Local Metering Agent Service: Right click > properties > Stop the service. Then click ProjectWise Explorer to start the application.

    Note: SoftTrack is a third party Software which is used for managing Licenses.
