Addon Manager **SOLVED**
virtuali:
All these applications (FSX, the Addon Manager and FS Copilot) are 32 bit apps so, if anything, you need to install the 32 bit versions of the VC++ Redistributables. The x64 version is only used by 64 bit applications.
However, at least with regard to the VC++ 2005 SP1, since we use it, we install it...
And, there are some Windows updates that only appear *after* you installed those runtimes so, it might be worthwile to do a Windows update after installing all the runtimes.
However, my machine has all the runtimes installed and patched, and FS Copilot+Addon Manager now freezes each time, after having started successfully only once, the first time FS Copilot ran successfully after the first crash that happens when you trust it.
I had a look at the FS Copilot binary file and, there are a couple of peculiar things about it:
1) The file doesn't have a dependency manifest embedded, which should help Windows sort it out Side-by-Side loading when used together with other .DLL modules in the same process. FSX modules usually have it for this very reason ( FSUIPC.DLL has it, BGLMANX.DLL has it, VIMACOREX.DLL has it, PMDGOPTIONS.DLL has it...)
2) The file is byte-for-byte IDENTICAL in FSX and FS9, which is unusual.
3) It's not digitally signed. This shouldn't be problem, but since the FSX Trusting mechanism is so unstable, you never know.
PilotJsmith:
I also have another computer in my home that has addon manager, fscopilot, and vista 64 bit that runs everything perfect. And prior to reformatting my computer I ran addon manager and fscopilot fine also.
Could I take some files from the FSCopilot files on the other computer in my house and transfer them to my computer. If so what files should I try.
virtuali:
You should always use the proper installers that comes with each product. Just copying files manually, if you don't know exactly what you are doing, is usually a recipe for disaster. Of course, since this is not FS Copilot forum, we can't obviously help you with anything related to it.
I've simply used its installer, I don't have the slightest idea how it works and what it does.
PilotJsmith:
Also when I reformatted this time I downloaded a more updatted driver than what I had on my system before the reformat, could this have messed something up, should I get the older driver I had.
