It looks like a .net framework problem, sorry I only understand English so couldn't read what the messages said but past experiences with that dialogue box has always lead back to the .net framework.

Another words he needs to install microsoft .net framework 2.0 , correct?

Selon des conditions d'installation, je suis d'accord avec des Rich et jstarne1...."microsoft.net framework 2.0":)

ARC need to install microsoft .net framework 4 before instal ARC.
But it works with framework 2.0 ?

I believe 4.5 is the most recent version but it may be a good idea to update /reinstall it. Microsoft. Net framework 4.5

I had a brain fart. 2.0 is what comes with a fresh install. Then you gotta install an updated version to replace it.

Yes, reinstall .net 4.0 (or higher) and see if it solves the problem.

I reinstalled .net framework 4.5 but it not solves the problem.
Morever i had install ARC on my other computer but it the same problem.

"the format of the input string is incorrect"

The error is because your culture is set to french. French uses a comma (,) instead of a period like the rest of the world:)

Visit the Control Panel -> Region -> Additional Settings -> Change decimal from a , to .

:) haha, thanks! I added a check for this in the next version. I never thought a comma as a decimal would not be parsed by the Convert functions within .Net... Very silly - since the .Net lives within the specified culture of the OS. Oh well! New versions will check for it and warn the user

Hello, I am french canadian and I have the same problem. My Vista setup is French (use comma). I have modified to use "." and work fine now . Thanks DJ :-) After the update, I replace the comma in setup language.

Bonjour Kalinox, j'avais le même problème et suite au instruction de DJ j'ai remplacé la virgule par le point dans mes réglages de région et tout est ok maintenant. Après la mise à jour j'ai replacé la virgule :-) Bonne et belle journée :)
