I hit plate solve. It opened TSX itself, then gave the same error. TSX wasn’t connected to anything though, it was open for imagelink.
You can easily prevent SkyX from starting by changing the platesolver to PinPoint.
Please try again and set the attached image to the image in the Camera V2 Simulator.
BTW, you're connected directly to the computer, right? (Not using a remote desktop application)

* Please close down SkyX *completely* so that it will not interfere. Despite what others have said, not all ASCOM camera drivers work when there are two applications connected. (As far as I know, SkyX may not have disconnected!)
* It would not hurt to restart APPM as well to make sure it has freed any possible previous instance of the ASCOM Camera V2 Simulator.
* Then restart only using APPM. Again, do not start SkyX or any other application that might connect to the ASCOM Camera V2 Simulator. The purpose of this test is to see if APPM returns only two values (e.g. 0 and 32767) like you mentioned in a previous post.
OK, I closed everything, opened APCC, connected, then APPM.
I went through the settings of the camera (they were all correct), and connected.

If you care to try it, attached is the test image, and these were the settings.
I do have a workaround by using TSX’s camera instead.
Note that APPM didn’t return two values in my case, it returned one value – just 32767 as the min and max both. Very weird. But it is worth noting that things are not the same with the simulator – I was using subframes because I had to, as well as binning. I can’t actually simulate that with the simulator as it is limited in geometry.
I’m really curious what Bill has happen with an actual camera.
