OK story
1. Had been working with 32bit SC Pro ok
2. Changed Platesolving to try and pick up Ansvr as SC wouldn't find it - had been using ASTAP ok
3. Marked enter manually and copy and pasted location of Ansvr
4. Hit Apply - SC creates exception
5. OK I thought just repair to get rid of filename as that was the only change
6. Repair worked but luanch of SC 32 fails - just see splash then nothing
7. Tried uninstalling SC (32bit) - ran ok and nothing in folder - did restart
8. Install SC 32bit - install ok but launch fails as before
9. Tried SC 64 install - this installs OK and loads ok except for "64 bit needs AV instruction set" - my test PC is AMD 64bit of a number of years ok. But appears to run e.g. alterted Platesolving and hit "Test platesolve" that worked (still doesn't find Ansvr).
I need the 32bit to work and it looks like there is something left in the registery that only 32bit app uses but I need to be able to get around this problem
event viewer has 2 errors

Re: Unable to load SC 32bit but 64bit loads ok
Hi,
I think you will need to make a small registry change to fix this - sounds like the saved location has an invalid character in it (an '&' or '|' maybe?). If you wipe the saved location then all should be well hopefully.
Use regedit to reset the value of 'PlateSolve.SolverLocation' in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AstroSharp Limited\SharpCap\3.2\misc to an empty string (or delete PlateSolve.SolverLocation entirely). See the screenshot below.
Hope this helps,
Robin

Re: Unable to load SC 32bit but 64bit loads ok
Ah, I see, you copied in the whole line from the console including the '>' character (from the prompt) which causes the problem.
I think the correct value would be
Not sure that the %LOCALAPPDATA% bit would work - I suspect not.

I think the correct value would be
