Cannot start module error when opening Kofax Capture Scan Module

Issue

Opening Kofax Capture Scan Module fails and reports the following error:

Cannot start module

Cause

1. This error can occur if Kofax Capture was installed using the /NOVRS switch as the switch prevents the Capture installer from creating the necessary file import sources. 
2. This error can also occur if an OEM version of Kofax VRS was installed on top of an existing Capture installation, as the OEM VRS installer does not create the file import sources that Capture requires.

Solution

To resolve this issue, the necessary File Import sources must be configured manually:
 

1. Open the VRS Administration Console.


2. Click Scanner Configuration.


3. In the Scanner List, expand the Other folder and selectFile Import.


4. Click Configure Sources.

10. Enter the following Source Name:Kofax Ascent Capture Release Source


11. Select the following Source Type:Kofax Software -- Import from disk with image processing


12. Click OK.


13. In the Configure Sources window, click New.


14. Enter the following Source Name:Kofax Software Import Source (no image processing)
