Apologies if there is a solution posted, unable to find via forums or searching online.

Cannot open PSOC Creator due to “cyprjmgr has stopped working” error.

Trying to open a project or PSOC creator executable results in nothing, no start-up window, no stalled EXE in task manager.  Uninstalled, restarted, and reinstalled PSOC Creator 3.3 SP2, nearing the end of installation the follow error popped up.

Opening C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\PSoC Creator\4.2\PSoC Creator\bin\cyprjmgr.exe results following cmd prompt text:

Deleted APPDATA for PSoC Creator and did not resolve.

Unaware of any local changes to computer that could have caused this, no OS update in recent days.

Updated to the latest PSOC Creator 4.2 and did not resolve.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Resolved the issue.  System.xml seems to be related to .Net framework, even tho there was no obvious changes to this I took the educated guess that files associated with this were somehow corrupted.  Updated to the latest .Net framework and now PSoC Creator starts.

Found similar forum thread, PSoC Creater 4.2 Startup Error - Newbie​, and followed the assumed solution removing all *.cywrk.* files.  Also relocated all projects to break links to PSoC Creator, did not resolve issue.  Thank you for any suggestions/help.
