MUST READ!!!! Regarding addon manager 4

(1/3) > >>

josh_drummond:
Hi all.  I discovered something this week and found out the hard way.  Because the new addon manager version 4 is a completely new version then versions before it, all addons requiring Addon Manager MUST BE REINSTALLED in order to work properly with the new Addon Manager.  I can't stress this enough other why's you will have problems with everything you own in your system relating to Addon Manager.  The new version is a completely new work to be enabled for P3dV4, which is 64 bit and that is why the manager had to be updated.  I know it takes time to reisntall everything, but trust me this was the solution for me.  If you've noticed all of the new setup files are different from the old ones.  The new setup files have a directory which points automatically to where the new addon manager is installed.  Which is why the old setup files won't work in the new addon manager.  I hope this helps many of you out there looking for a solution!  This worked for me in my situation.

I figured much from my issues here, http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,15650.0.html

Im finding though that you need to uninstall the old versions first as I just installed KMEM and while it ended up in the new folder (E:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager) it didn't move or remove the old version as it still exists in my root FSX folder..

All is well that ends well but what a pain and something that should have been address in the klas or GSX installer notes

You don't have to uninstall anything first, the installer will move the folders from the old location to the new one.

Sorry but they never did so thats why I did as I mentioned.

Look it may have screwed up from the initial install but Its all good now I have them working as previously.

Thanks

yeah I can comfirm, Umberto, same happened to me too. in my programs and features in windows it shows two of everthing installed.  had to reinstall the scenery in P3D V4 for it to show up in the sim. The manager would show it installed and active, but n scenery would show up in the sim until I reinstalled using the downloads.  I will experiment later and uninstall the older installations in the control panel in windows and see if everything still worked in both my Prepar3D v3.4 and V.4 installations.  since their both on 2 separate dedicated SSD drives  8)
