VEConfig "Internal error occurred" when setting up assistant.

Hi All

I get the error "Internal error occurred! Please contact Victron Energy" when I am setting up an assistant in VEConfig. I am able to do firmware updates and all other settings but not the assistants. This happens whether I am using a mk3 or through VRM remote VEConfigure.

Also each time I open VEConfigurator3 it updates the assistants.

The issue started when I had updated the first inverter to 489, after the update it had to update the mk3 and VEConfig. Since then I am unable to load assistants on any inverter. Same happens with inverters on 490 and older versions as well.

I have uninstalled, redownloaded and reinstalled VE Configuration tools but still have the same issue...

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Do you use the latest version of VE.config?

This should be fixed by now.

Yes VE.config is on the latest version, each time I open Ve.config it updates the assistants. But the issue persists.

That problem should be solved in the latest version.

Maybe try to completely uninstall VE.config and make a fresh installation.

Just also check that nothing else is connected on the VE.bus, just the MK3 and the Multi.

Redownloaded and reinstalled. Ve.config still updates assistants each time I oopen it and I still get the same error when trying to load an assistant.


@nickdb The same thing happens with either only a MK3 connected to the inverter or doing a remote config through VRM.

What version of windows are you using and have you tried a different device to configure it?

Put exclusions for the folder into your AV, etc.

When in doubt use the 3 R's - reflect, repent, reboot :)

You could also try factory resetting the inverter and then manually reapply the configuration.

If something is bad in the config file, it won't matter if you try do it directly or remotely.

Running windows 10.


It is not the inverter that is the problem, I have had the same problem on almost 10 different inverters ranging from MPII to 10KvA Quattro's.
