Addon Manager **SOLVED**
PilotJsmith:
Video Card driver
Im trying to think whats different about my system after the reformat, since I had it working before I reformatted.
virtuali:
I don't see how a video card driver could affect FS Copilot or the Addon Manager, other than having the Video card driver installer changed something in the VC++ runtimes. But if this is the case, it should be fixable ( or not ) by updating all the runtimes.
Which, as I've said, it's already done by our installer, for the runtimes we need. Since FS Copilot doesn't come with a manifest, it's difficult to say which runtimes (if any) needs. And not just which, generic, runtimes. The manifest serve the purpose to indicate to Windows exactly which version the program needs becahse, the whole point of the Side-by-side mechanism, is to allow different versions of the SAME .DLL to run together at the same time.
If, by misfortune, FS Copilot required a *DIFFERENT* VC++ 2005 SP1 version than we need (yes, you can have multple versions of the VC++ 2005 SP1 installed at the same time) and, by pure chance, they called a library function that is not backward/forward compatible so, it would not run with our version, they'll crash together. If they included a manifest, Windows would have loaded their preferred version as well, thanks to side-by-side.
But, again, THIS IS NOT FS COPILOT FORUM so, anything I'm saying here, it's pure speculation: I don't know if they require runtimes at all, I'm just saying *what* could wrong, and this is explanation at least is compatible with the fact that it might work on a Windows installation, and might not on a different one, depending on what system libraries are installed.
PilotJsmith:
Where is the fscopilot forum, I can't find the official site for fscopilot?

I think it has been closed for maintenance:

Dear Virtuali,
after installing your new PHNL scenery, all your other sceneries won´t show up anymore. I really don´t want to get on anyones nerves, but only your sceneries are difficult to handle. I love flying, but I hate having to maintain the sim more than absolutely necessary. I just can´t rely on your sceneries showing up after a long flight. Everything is much too complicated.
This evening I installed PHNL which lead to double entries in the FSX.cfg. I deleted the double entries (coutl.exe and bglmanx) in the trusted section and ran the stand alone addon manager installation again. Now none of your sceneries show up.
The visual quality of your sceneries is very good (that´s why I bought every single sceney until now), but the fact that with every new installation process new problems pop up is very annoying. I understand that your sick and tired of answering the same questions over and over again, but I don´t feel like having to go troubleshooting everytime I add a new scenery. Explanations like some other programm has corrupted this and that file really don´t help, because no other scenery is that "vulnerable" or easy to mess up.
I really don´t know what to try next and to be honest, I´m growing a bit tired of solving problems that could be prevented.
What can I do next without having to reinstall everything (something I really don´t have the time for)?
I use Vista 64-bit SP2.
Regards,
Ingo
