No Addon manager

(1/3) > >>

christiaan:
I have many of your sceneries, however this evening I have no buildings at KJFK (not been to the other airports).
The Addon Manager has disapeared, I tried to downloaded the Addon Manager but it says that FS9.1 update
is needed.

Your sceneries have always worked on my FS9.

I have just downloaded OBBI REAL Ground textures a couple of days ago, and Incheon from Overland.

How do I get my Addon Manager back without installing the update as I do not know how it will affect all my other sceneries.


Please can someone help me.

There's no way to use any of our products with FS9.0. The fact the scenery worked before, is purely incidental. We discovered several serious issues with FS9.0, that's why our installers now check the 9.1 update to be installed before going further.

You need to install the FS9.1 update. It will NOT affect any of your sceneries. In fact, NOT installing it will affect system stability, because FS9.0 has known memory leak issues that are fixed by FS9.1

As explained already in the forum, to PROPERLY install the 9.1 update, you need to have all the FS9.0 original files, including the FS9.EXE. So, to be more clear, you can't properly install the 9.1 update if you have a nocd FS9.EXE, you need to restore your original FS9.EXE BEFORE trying to install the 9.1 update, otherwise the update will not complete and you will have an even more dangerous setup, with a 9.0 EXE and the rest of the .DLLs from 9.1

Thanks for your quick answer.
When I try to install the FS9.1 update a I get a UPDATE ERROR 34 message, what does this mean.

I have checked, all my Dreamteam & Cloud 9 Airports, they all give a scenery change on 29 March at 13.34.

As I've said, to install the update properly, you need to have ALL the .EXE and .DLL files from 9.0 to be the original unmodified versions.

Also, check if you have a BACKUP folder in your FS9 folder. If you have it, remove it.

And, if you have any file that is not the original version, you need to restore it from the FS9 CDs, using an utility that can open .CAB files (WinRar will do it), because you need to search for the original files in the .CAB files in the FS9 CDs.

I apparentley did not have FS9.1 installed.  and therefore nothing have changed.

I found the following on Internet.
Update Error Type: 34
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

You may receive the "Update Error Type: 34" error message if there is a registry value that is not valid for the location of the Fs9.exe file. To resolve this error message, correct the EXE Path string value in the registry. To do this, follow these steps:

   1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
   2. Locate and then select the following registry key:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator\9.0
   3. Right-click the EXE Path string value, and then click Modify.
   4. In the Value data box, use one of the following procedures, and then click OK:
          * Type the correct path of the Fs9.exe file. For example, type C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9 in the Value data box.
          * Delete the path in the Value data box.
   5. On the File menu, click Exit to quit Registry Editor.
   6. Double-click the Fs91upd.exe file to install the update.

Behind Flight simulator was a \ which I removed as suggested on the Internet Forum.
The update stated to installed until lit stopped at Processing modules\ABLSCPT.DLL.
Do you know what this is, I then cancelled. the update.
The last line in 4. *Delete the path in the Value data box, I presume it does not mean the path I had just altered.
In my Fl.Sim 9 map is next to the fs9 the  FS9.1 update file. Is this correct
