Storyline 360 crashes when opening.

Nov 14, 2016

Hi all,

I'm trying out Articulate 360 and so far I've downloaded Storyline 360, but everytime I open it, it crashes immediately. I pulled up the error report and it says that it can't load the file Articulate.Text.DLL . Any ideas as to what might be going on?

Thanks so much!

This is the solution that worked for me:

Check for Windows updates and make sure to install all available updates. Here's how:

Open Windows Update from the Control Panel. Click on the start button in the lower-left corner of the screen, then click on Control Panel. Next, click on System and Security, then Windows Update and Check for Updates.

NOTE: make sure that this specific update is installed in your computer:

Once this has been completed, restart your computer. Then proceed to uninstall Storyline 360 and reinstall it from the Tray app.
