I could not make any of the few things I've made for FSX without this marvellous tool. Btw I have to go check for any recent updates.
 
Is there anything like a support forum for ModelConverterX ?

I looked for one but didn't see it.

My development computer got hit with a virus a few months back. The local computer repair shop wiped the HD clean and re-installed WindowsXP with SP2. I've tried to run ModelConverterX, and all I get is an error window saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the application"

I can run ModelConverterX on my Win7 laptop, but when I load a MDL file, the model is displayed as a jumbled mass of parts.

I'm sure it's just a misplaced file or unchecked box in some option setting.

Thanks

The main reasons for MCX not running are not having the proper .NET framework installed and / or misconfigurations in the setup (but that only impacts certain functions, the program should start nevertheless).

I went to the link supplied by DaveWG and the first thing I saw was the "prerequisites" section and I saw the NET framework. Since the hard drive had been wiped clean during the restoration process, I figured there was a good chance the files had been removed. Fortunately a handy link to the NET framework file was provided. Once installed, ModelConverterX worked fine, just like roger-wilco-66 suggested
 
The Swiss Amy Knife comparison for MCX is very appropriate, it does a lotta stuff. In lieu of a FSX update to the old Aircraft Container Manager, it's nice to have a program that allows you to see wireframes, part colors and applied textures and also have a grid for measuring.
