How to Fix the GuideConnect Startup Error: “Code Execution Cannot Proceed

When launching GuideConnect, you may occasionally encounter the error message “Code Execution cannot proceed.” This issue typically appears when GuideConnect has been interrupted during an update, leaving the software unable to restart because critical program components are missing or incomplete.

Why this happens

During an update, GuideConnect replaces essential files needed for startup. If the update is stopped—due to a shutdown, power loss, or network interruption—some of these files may not install correctly. As a result, GuideConnect cannot load the components it needs to run.

How to fix the issue

The most reliable solution is to reinstall GuideConnect using the official installer. This restores all missing components and ensures the software can start normally.

Follow these steps:

1. Visit the Dolphin downloads page: yourdolphin.com/support/legacy-demos

2. Download the latest GuideConnect installer.

3. Run the installer and follow the on‑screen instructions.

4. Once installation is complete, restart your device and launch GuideConnect again.

A reinstall does not normally affect your settings or content, but it ensures all required files are restored.
