[bug report] PVsyst 7.2.4 - This operation is not valid because the current image contains no valid header.

[Nils Lang]

Error message: EPNGHeaderNotPresent - This operation is not valid because the current image contains no valid header.

This is a known issue with version 7.2.4. A fix will become ready for next patch 7.2.5 in a few weeks.

This crash with "EPNGHeaderNotPresent" message happens only with image files in PNG format defined for the user logo or for a client logo. Follow the temporary fix below and then reimport the logo in JPG or BMP format.

Temporary fix for user logo:

- Close PVsyst first (otherwise it will rewrite PVsyst.ini file)

- Press the Windows key + R simultaneously, type: %LocalAppData%\PVsyst\7.2\Admin in the "Open:" box and press OK

- Open the file named "PVsyst.ini" with a text editor (we advise to use Notepad++ that is free and opensource)

- Find the line "[user]", in this group, find and erase the line starting with "Logo="

- Save the edited PVsyst.ini file

 

Temporary fix for client logo:

- Go to your workspace in the subfolder \ComposPV\Clients

- Find the client .CLT file that contains a .PNG defined as logo

- Erase the line starting with "Logo="

- Save the edited .CLT file
