Fail to create the parts controls Error

During your Sunflower installation, if you come across an error which says “Failed to create the parts controls”, as in Fig. 304, you may want to try closing all opened text editor tabs, as highlighted in Fig. 305.

When the opened text editor tabs are closed, the error will also disappear, as shown in Fig. 306, and the Sunflower GUI can now be used as normal to create and edit projects.

Another way to fix this error is to switch to a new workspace. You can do this by using the switch workspace option from the main navigation menu, as in Fig. 307.

After choosing the switch workspace option, the select workspace dialog lets you specify the path to your new workspace. This can be seen in Fig. 308.

After clicking OK to switch to a new workspace, Sunflower will restart, and you will be guided back to the accept end user agreement step.
